PARKING BRAKE CONTROL
BR-31

Purpose
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) consists of electronic and hydraulic components. It allows for control of
braking force so locking of the wheels can be avoided.
The ABS:
1) Improves proper tracking performance through steering wheel operation.
2) Eases obstacle avoidance through steering wheel operation.
3) Improves vehicle stability.
Operation
lWhen the vehicle speed is less than 10 km/h (6 MPH) this system does not work.
lThe Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) has a self-test function. The system turns on the ABS warning lamp
for 1 second each time the ignition switch is turned ``ON''. After the engine is started, the ABS warning
lamp turns off. The system performs a test the first time the vehicle reaches 6 km/h (4 MPH). A
mechanical noise may be heard as the ABS performs this self-test. This is a normal part of the self-test
feature. If a malfunction is found during this check, the ABS warning lamp will stay on.
lWhile driving, a mechanical noise may be heard during ABS operation. This is a normal condition.

System Components
System Description
WHEEL SENSOR
The sensor unit consists of a gear-shaped sensor rotor and a
sensor element. The element contains a bar magnet around
which a coil is wound. The sensor is installed on the back of the
brake rotor and the front of the differential (2WD) or the back of
the rear brake drum (4WD). As the wheel rotates, the sensor
generates a sine-wave pattern. The frequency and voltage
increase(s) as the rotating speed increases.
CONTROL UNIT (built in ABS actuator and electric
unit)
The control unit computes the wheel rotating speed by the sig-
nal current sent from the sensor. Then it supplies a DC current
to the actuator solenoid valve. It also controls ON-OFF operation
of the valve relay and motor relay. If any electrical malfunction
should be detected in the system, the control unit causes the
warning lamp to light up. In this condition, the ABS will be deac-
tivated by the control unit, and the vehicle's brake system reverts
to normal operation. (For control unit layout, refer to ABS
ACTUATOR AND ELECTRIC UNIT, BR-34.)

Self-diagnosis
FUNCTION
lWhen a problem occurs in the ABS, the warning lamp on the
instrument panel comes on. To start the self-diagnostic
results mode, ground the self-diagnostic (check) terminal
located on ``Data Link Connector for CONSULT''. The loca-
tion of the malfunction is indicated by the warning lamp flash-
ing.
SELF-DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
Drive vehicle over 30 km/h (19 MPH) for
at least one minute.
Turn ignition switch ``OFF''.
Ground terminal ``4'' of ``Data link con-
nector for CONSULT'' with a suitable
harness.
Turn ignition switch ``ON'' while ground-
ing terminal ``4''.
Do not depress brake pedal.
After 3.0 seconds, the warning lamp
starts flashing to indicate the malfunction
code No. (See NOTE.)
Verify the location of the malfunction
with the malfunction code chart. Refer to
BR-55. Then make the necessary
repairs following the diagnostic proce-
dures.
After the malfunctions are repaired,
erase the malfunction codes stored in
the control unit. Refer to BR-54.
Rerun the self-diagnostic results mode to
verify that the malfunction codes have
been erased.
Disconnect the check terminal from the
ground. The self-diagnostic results mode
is now complete.NOTE: The indication terminates
after five minutes.
However, when the ignition
switch is turned from
``OFF'' to ``ON'', the indica-
tion starts flashing again.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSES
BR-53

VA
Check warning lamp for deactivation
after driving vehicle over 30 km/h (19
MPH) for at least one minute.
After making certain that warning lamp
does not come on, test the ABS in a
safe area to verify that it functions prop-
erly.
HOW TO READ SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS (Malfunction codes)
lDetermine the code No. by counting the number of times the warning lamp flashes on and off.
lWhen several malfunctions occur at one time, up to three code numbers can be stored; the latest mal-
function will be indicated first.
lThe indication begins with the start code 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 12 to repeat (the indication will
stay on for five minutes at the most).
lThe malfunction code chart is given on the next page.
HOW TO ERASE SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS
(Malfunction codes)
1. Disconnect the check terminal from ground (ABS warning
lamp will stay lit).
2. Within 12.5 seconds, ground the check terminal 3 times.
Each terminal ground must last more than 1 second. The
ABS warning lamp goes out after the erase operation has
been completed.
3. Perform self-diagnosis again. Refer to BR-53. Only the start-
code should appear, no malfunction codes.

.3: If one or more wheels spin on a rough or slippery road for 40 seconds or more, the ABS warning lamp will illuminate. This does
not indicate a malfunction. Only in the case of the short-circuit (Code Nos. 26, 22, 32 and 36), after repair the ABS warning
lamp also illuminates when the ignition switch is turned ``ON''. In this case, drive the vehicle at speeds greater than 30 km/h (19
MPH) for approximately 1 minute as specified in ``SELF-DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE'', BR-53. Check to ensure that the ABS
warning lamp goes out while the vehicle is being driven.
.4: The trouble code ``57'', which refers to a low power supply voltage, does not indicate that the ABS control unit is malfunctioning.
Do not replace the ABS control unit with a new one.
.5: The trouble code ``61'' can sometimes appear when the ABS motor is not properly grounded. If it appears, be sure to check the
condition of the ABS motor ground circuit connection.
