Precautions for Trouble
Diagnosis
After performing trouble diagnosis, be sure to erase trouble stored in memory.
Refer to "CONSULT for
TCS/ABS Control Unit Control System"
(BR-27), "Self-diagnosis for TCSIABS
Control Unit Control System"
(BR-34), "CONSULT for Throttle Control Unit Control System" (BR-37) or
"Self-diagnosis for Throttle Control Unit Control System"
(BR-41).
The concerns that are difficult to duplicate may be caused by faulty electrical connections. Move harnesses
or harness connectors by hand to check if there is any poor mating of connector halves or faulty connec-
tion. Do not force to open a connector terminal when using a circuit tester for inspection.
Read GI section thoroughly in advance and make sure of all the general precautions.
Basic Inspection
BASIC INSPECTION 1 - Brake fluid level and leakage
1. Check brake fluid level in reservoir tank. Replenish brake fluid if necessary.
2. Check for leakage at or around brake piping and ABS actuator. If leakage or seepage is noted, proceed
as follows:
If ABS actuator connectors are loose, tighten to specified torque. Recheck to ensure that leakage is no
longer present.
If flare nut threads at piping connectors or actuator threads are damaged, replace faulty parts with new
ones. Recheck to ensure that leakage is no longer present.
If brake fluid leaks through areas other than actuator connectors, wipe off using a clean cloth. Recheck
for leakage or seepage. If necessary, replace faulty parts with new ones.
If brake fluid leaks at or seeps through ABS actuator, wipe off using a clean cloth.
Recheck for leakage or seepage. If necessary, replace ABS actuator with new one.
CAUTION:
ABS actuator cannot be disassembled. Do not attempt to disassemble it.
3. Check brake disc rotors and pads for proper operation.
BASIC INSPECTION 2 - Loose power line terminal
Check battery terminals (positive and negative) and battery mounting (ground) for looseness. If necessary,
tighten to specified torque. Check the battery for lower voltage.
BASIC INSPECTION 3 - SLlP indicator lamp, TCS OFF indicator lamp and ABS warning
lamp
Turn ignition switch "ON" to ensure that TCS OFF indicator lamp lights up. If TCS OFF indicator lamp does
not light, check TCS OFF indicator lamp circuit.
Turn ignition switch
"ON" to ensure that SLlP indicator lamp lights
up. If SLlP indicator lamp does not light,
check SLlP indicator lamp circuit.
Turn ignition switch "ON" to ensure that ABS warning lamp lights up. If ABS warning lamp does not light,
check ABS warning lamp circuit.
Check that the SLlP indicator lamp and the ABS warning lamp go off approx.
1 second after the engine
has started. If either of the lamps still remains on, perform the self-diagnosis for TCSIABS control unit
control system and the self-diagnosis for throttle control unit control system.
After driving vehicle at approx. 30
km/h
for approx.
1 minute, check to ensure that the SLlP indicator lamp
and the ABS warning lamp are off. If either of the lamps still remains on, perform the self-diagnosis for
TCS/ABS
control unit control system and the self-diagnosis for throttle control unit control system.
Check that the TCS OFF indicator lamp turns ON and OFF when the TCS OFF switch is turned to
ON
and OFF respectively, with the engine running. If the lamp status does not correspond to the switch
position, check the TCS OFF switch circuit.
Check that the TCS OFF indicator lamp goes off when the engine has started with the TCS OFF switch
OFF. If the TCS
OFF indicator lamp does not go off even 10 seconds after the engine has started, per-
form the self-diagnosis for TCSIABS control unit control system and the self-diagnosis for throttle control
unit control system.
After driving vehicle at approx.
30 kmlh for approx. 1 minute with the TCS OFF switch OFF, check to ensure
that the TCS OFF indicator lamp is off. If the TCS OFF indicator lamp lights up, perform the
self-diagno-
sis for
TCS/ABS
control unit control system and the self-diagnosis for throttle control unit control system.
After performing self-diagnosis procedures, be sure to erase trouble stored in memory.

SELF-DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE rn
Collect information on the concern from the customer, and then
perform basic inspections.
Turn ignition switch OFF and connect CONSULT connector to
data link connector for CONSULT on the vehicle.
ST
Start engine and drive vehicle at approx. 30 km/h for approx.
1 minute.
Stop vehicle with engine running and touch "START", "ABS"

and "SELF-DIAG RESULTS" sequentially on the CONSULT
screen.
If "START" is touched immediately after engine is started y;rjn
or ignition switch is turned on, "ABS" may not be dis-
played on "SELECT SYSTEM" screen. To display "ABS", E~
repeat the self-diagnosis procedure from the beginning.
Self-diagnosis results are displayed on the screen. (Touch
"PRINT' to print out the self-diagnosis results,
if necessary.) 8~ If "NO FAIL" is displayed, inspect the SLlP indicator lamp, the
TCS OFF indicator lamp and the ABS warning lamp. Refer to
the previous page.
Perform appropriate inspection from the self-diagnostic results
mode and repair or replace faulty parts.
Start engine and drive vehicle at approx.
30 km/h for approx.
1 minute.
Recheck to ensure that there is no other malfunction.
Turn ignition switch OFF to prepare for erasing the trouble
stored in memory.
Start engine and touch "START",
"ABS", "SELF-DIAG
RESULTS" and "ERASE" sequentially on the CONSULT
screen to erase the trouble stored in memory.
If the trouble stored in memory is not erased, repeat step
6.
Drive vehicle at approx. 30 krn/h for approx. 1 minute and then
confirm that the TCS OFF indicator lamp, the
SLlP indicator
lamp, and the ABS warning lamp are OFF.
TCS OFF switch is not in cancel condition.

Self-diagnosis for TCSfABS Control Unit
Control System
SELF-DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
1. Collect information on the concern from the customer, and then
perform basic inspections.
2. Drive vehicle at approx. 30 km/h for approx. 1 minute.
3. Stop vehicle and start diagnosis.
4. Turn ignition switch "OFF.
5. Ground the self-diagnostic check terminal 4 on the data link
connector for CONSULT.
6. Turn ignition switch "ON" to start the self-diagnostic results
mode.
CAUTION:
Keep terminal 4 grounded during self-diagnosis. Do not
depress brake pedal. Do not start engine. (Self-diagnosis
would
not start.)
When SLlP indicator lamp does not start blinking, check
TCSfABS
control unit power supply circuit and ground
circuit.
7. The SLlP indicator lamp starts blinking to indicate the malfunc-
tion code No.
3 or 4 seconds after the self-diagnostic results
mode is started.
The indication terminates after 5 minutes. Turning the igni-
tion switch from
"OFF" to "ON" resumes blinking the indi-
cation.
During the SLIP indicator lamp operation shown above,
TCS
OFF indicator lamp and ABS warning lamp are lit.
8. Vsrify the location of the malfunction with "MALFUNCTION
CODUSYMPTOM
CHART", BR-36. Then make the necessary
repairs.
9. After the malfunctions are repaired, erase the malfunction
codes stored
in the control unit. Refer to "HOW TO ERASE
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS on the next page.
10. Rerun the self-diagnostic results mode to verify that the mal-
function codes have been erased.
When the malfunction codes have been erased, the start
code is only indicated.
11. Disconnect the check terminal from the ground. The self-diag-
nostic results mode is now complete.
12. Drive vehicle at approx. 30 km/h for approx. 1 minute, and then
check that the
TCS OFF indicator lamp, the SLlP indicator
lamp and the ABS warning lamp are OFF.
HOW TO READ SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS
(Malfunction codes)
Determine the code No. by observing the time and the fre-
quency that the SLlP indicator lamp flashes ON and OFF.
Refer to the next page.
When multiple malfunctions occur at a time, up to three code
numbers can
be stored; the latest malfunction will be indicated
first.
The indication begins with the start code No. 12. After that a
maximum of three code numbers appear in the order of the
latest one first. The indication then returns to the start code No.
12 to repeat.
The start code No.
12 is only indicated repeatedly when there
is no malfunction.
