SELF-DIAGNOSIS
Description
If a malfunction is detected in the system, the ABS warning lamp, ESP OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator
lamp on the meter turn on. In this case, perform the self-diagnosis as follows:
Procedure
1. Perform a BRC-91, "Basic Inspection" using information from the customer.
2. After the ignition switch is turned OFF, connect the CONSULT-II
connector to the vehicle-side data link connector. The data link
connector is on the lower instrument cover).
3. Start the engine and drive at Approx. 30 km/h (19 MPH) for
approx. 1 minute.
4. After stopping the vehicle, with the engine still idling, touch “
START”, “ABS”, “SELF-DIAG RESULTS” on the CONSULT-II
screen in this order.
CAUTION:
Just after starting the engine, or turning the ignition switch
ON, “ABS” may not be displayed on the system selection
screen even if “START” is touched. In this case, start the
self-diagnosis again from step 2. If it cannot be shown after
several attempts, the ESP/TCS/ABS control unit may mal-
function. Repair or replace the control unit.
5. The self-diagnosis result is displayed. (If necessary, touch “PRINT” to print the self-diagnosis result.)
●When “NO FAILURE” is shown, check the ABS warning lamp, ESP OFF indicator lamp, SLIP indicator
lamp. Refer to BRC-90, "
For Correct and Quick Diagnosis" .
●CONSULT-II self-diagnosis results are displayed without regard to occurrence timing. In some case, the
later ones (timing value is small) appear on the next screen.
6. Go to appropriate “Inspection” chart according to “Self-Diagnostic Items to Result Mode” and repair or
replace as necessary.
7. Start the engine and drive at Approx. 30 km/h (19 MPH) for Approx. 1 minute.
CAUTION:
Check again to make sure that there is NO MALFUNCTION on other parts.
8. Turn the ignition switch OFF to prepare for erasing the memory.
9. Start the engine and touch “START”, “ABS”, “SELF-DIAG RESULTS” and “ERASE” on CONSULT-II
screen in this order to ease the memory.
CAUTION:
If the memory cannot be erased, go to step 6.

Basic InspectionEFS001A9
PRELIMINARY CHECK 1: (BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND LEAK INSPECTION)
1. Check the fluid level in the brake reservoir tank. If the fluid level is low, refill the brake fluid.
2. Check the area around the brake piping, ESP actuator for leaks. If a leak or oozing is detected, check as
follows:
●If the connections at the ESP actuator are loose, tighten the piping to the specified torque. Then check
again for leaks, and make sure that there is no fluid leak.
●If the flare nuts at the connections and the threads of the ESP actuator are damaged, replace the dam-
aged parts. Then check again for leaks, and make sure that there is no fluid leak.
●If a leak or oozing is detected on other parts than the ESP actuator connections, wipe the applicable
part with a clean cloth. Then check again for leaks, and if there is still a leak or oozing, replace the dam-
aged part.
ESP/TCS operation
(SLIP lamp ON)When the vehicle is passing through a road where the surface friction
coefficient varies or the wheel speed changes suddenly by downshifting
or depressing of the accelerator pedal fully, TCS may be activated tem-
porarily.
Normal
Cancel the ESP/TCS
function for the
inspection on a chas-
sis dynamometer. Before the speedometer inspection, turn ESP OFF switch off to cancel
the ESP/TCS function.
When the accelerator pedal is depressed on a chassis dynamometer,
the vehicle speed will not increase. This is not malfunction, because
TCS is activated by the wheel speed difference between front and rear.
The warning lamp may also illuminate to show “sensor system failure” in
this case. This is not malfunction either, because the stationary front
wheels are detected. Restart the engine, and drive the vehicle at 30 km/
h or higher to check that the warning lamp no longer illuminates.
ABS operation (Longer stop-
ping distance)The stopping distance may be longer for the vehicles with ABS when the
vehicle is driver on snowy and rough road. When driving on the road like
that, slow down the speed.Normal
Sluggish feelDepending on road circumstances, the driver may have a sluggish feel.
This is not abnormal, because the optimum traction has the highest pri-
ority (safety first) by TCS operation. Sometimes the driver has a slight
sluggish feel against the substantial accelerator pedal operation.Normal Symptom Symptom description Result

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
●If a leak or oozing is detected on the ESP actuator body, wipe the applicable part with a clean cloth.
Then check again for leaks, and if there is still a leak or oozing, replace the ESP actuator body.
CAUTION:
Do not disassemble the actuator body.
3. Check the brake disc rotor and pads.
PRELIMINARY CHECK 2: (INSPECTION FOR LOOSE POWER SUPPLY TERMINAL)
Check the battery for looseness on the battery positive/negative terminals and ground connection. If loose-
ness is detected, tighten the piping to the specified torque. Check that the battery voltage does not drop and
the alternator is normal.
PRELIMINARY CHECK 3: (INSPECTION FOR ABS WARNING LAMP, ESP OFF INDICATOR
LAMP, AND SLIP INDICATOR LAMP)
1. Check that the ABS warning lamp is ON for Approx. 0.5 seconds when the ignition switch is turned ON. If
it does not turn on, check the ABS warning lamp and the circuit, and the combination meter.
2. Check that ESP OFF indicator lamp is ON for Approx. 0.5 seconds when the ignition switch is turned ON.
If it does not turn ON, check the ESP OFF indicator lamp and the circuit, and the combination meter.
3. Check that the SLIP indicator lamp is ON for Approx. 0.5 seconds when the ignition switch is turned ON. If
it does not turn ON, check the SLIP indicator lamp and the circuit.
4. With the engine running, check the ESP OFF indicator lamp turns ON and OFF when the ESP OFF
switch turns ON and OFF. If it dose not operate in accordance with the switch, check the ESP OFF switch
and the circuit.
5. Check that the ESP OFF indicator lamp turns OFF after Approx. 2 seconds delay when the ESP OFF
switch turned ON (The ESP/TCS system was not operated). If the ESP OFF indicator lamp does not turn
OFF in 10 seconds from the engine start, perform the self-diagnosis of ESP/TCS/ABS control unit.

Inspection procedure
1. SELF-DIAGNOSIS RESULT CHECK 1
Check the self-diagnosis results.
Are any self-diagnosis result items above indicated?
>> GO TO 2.
2. CHECK THE CONNECTOR
Remove connectors of the wheel sensor which is malfunctioning and the ESP/TCS/ABS control unit. Check
whether the deformation of terminal, or incorporate connection of connectors. Then, connect connectors. In
addition, check if the wheel sensor cable is damaged due to friction.
