GENERAL MAINTENANCE
These are maintenance and inspection items which are considered to be the owner's responsibility.
They can be done by the owner or they can have them done at a service shop.
These items include those which should be checked on a daily basis, those which, in most cases, do not
require (special) tools and those which are considered to be reasonable for the owner to do.
Items and procedures for general maintenance are as follows.
1. GENERAL NOTES

Maintenance items may vary from country to country. Check the owner's manual supplement in which
the maintenance schedule is shown.

Every service item in the periodic maintenance schedule must be performed.

Periodic maintenance service must be performed according to whichever interval in the periodic main-
tenance schedule occurs first, the odometer reading (miles) or the time interval (months).

Maintenance service after the last period should be performed at the same interval as before unless
otherwise noted.

Failure to do even one item can cause the engine to run poorly and increase exhaust emissions.
2. LIGHTS
(a) Check that the headlights, stop lights, taillights, turn signal lights, and other lights are all working.
(b) Check the headlight aim.
3. WARNING LIGHTS AND BUZZERS
Check that all warning lights and buzzers function properly.
4. HORN
Check that it is working.
5. WINDSHIELD GLASS
Check for scratches, pits or abrasions.
6. WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHER
(a) Check operation of the wipers and washer.
(b) Check that the wipers do not streak.
7. WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER
Check that air comes out from the defroster outlet when operating the heater or air conditioner.
8. REAR VIEW MIRROR
Check that it is mounted securely.
9. SUN VISORS
Check that they move freely and are mounted securely.
10. STEERING WHEEL
Check that it has the specified free play. Be alert for changes in steering condition, such as hard steering,
excessive free play or strange noises.
11. SEATS
(a) Check that the seat adjusters operate smoothly.
(b) Check that all latches lock securely in any position.
(c) Check that the head restraints move up and down smoothly and that the locks hold securely in any
latch position.
(d) For fold±down seat backs, check that the latches lock securely.
12. SEAT BELTS
(a) Check that the seat belt system such as the buckles, retractors and anchors operate properly and
smoothly.
(b) Check that the belt webbing is not cut, frayed, worn or damaged.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
HINT:

The yaw rate sensor and deceleration sensor are combined and in a single unit. This unit communi-
cates with the skid control ECU through the CAN communication system.

No changes have been made to the communication method between the VSC system and ECM. How-
ever, the communication method between the Translate ECU and ECM has been changed from serial
to CAN communication.
(a) ABS
(Anti±lock Brake System)
The ABS helps prevent the wheels from locking when the brakes are applied firmly or when braking
on a slippery surface.
(b) EBD
(Electronic Brake force Distribution)
The EBD control utilizes ABS, realizing proper brake force distribution between front and rear wheels
in accordance with driving conditions.
In addition, during braking while cornering, it also controls the brake forces of the right and left wheels,
helping to maintain vehicle behavior.
(c) BA (Brake Assist)
The primary purpose of the brake assist system is to provide an auxiliary brake force to assist the driver
who cannot generate a large enough brake force during emergency braking, thus helping to maximize
the vehicle's braking performance.
(d) TRAC
(Traction Control)
The TRAC system helps prevent the drive wheels from slipping if the driver presses down on the accel-
erator pedal excessively when starting off or accelerating on a slippery surface.
(e) VSC
(Vehicle Stability Control)
The VSC system helps prevent the vehicle from slipping sideways as a result of strong front wheel skid
or strong rear wheel skid during cornering.
2. ABS with EBD & BA & TRAC & VSC OPERATION
(a) The skid control ECU calculates vehicle stability tendency based on signals from the speed sensor,
yaw rate (deceleration) sensor and steering angle sensor. In addition, it evaluates the results of the
calculations to determine whether any control actions (control of the engine output torque by electronic
throttle control and of the wheel brake pressure by the brake actuator) should be implemented.
(b) The SLIP indicator blinks and the VSC buzzer sounds to inform the driver that the VSC system is oper-
ating. The SLIP indicator also blinks when TRAC is operating, and the operation being performed is
displayed.
3. FAIL SAFE FUNCTION
(a) When a failure occurs in the ABS & BA & TRAC & VSC systems, the ABS and VSC warning lights come
on and ABS & BA & TRAC & VSC operations are prohibited. In addition to this, when there is a failure
that disables EBD operation, the brake warning light also comes on and EBD operation is prohibited.
(b) If some control is prohibited due to a malfunction during its operation, that control will be cut off gradual-
ly not to change the stability of the vehicle suddenly.

TEST MODE PROCEDURE
1. When not using the hand±held tester:
SENSOR CHECK (TEST MODE)
NOTICE:
When having replaced the master cylinder pressure, yaw
rate and deceleration sensors and/or the ECU, perform
zero point calibration of the master cylinder pressure, yaw
rate and deceleration sensors (See page DI±897).
HINT:
If the ignition switch is turned from the ON to the ACC or LOCK
position in test mode, test mode DTCs will be erased.
(a) Procedures for test mode:
(1) Turn the ignition switch OFF.
(2) Check that the shift lever is in the P position, and
turn the steering wheel to the neutral position.
(3) Using SST, connect terminals Ts and CG of the
DLC3.
SST 09843±18040
(4) Start the engine.
(5) Check that the ABS and VSC TRAC warning lights
blink.
HINT:
If the ABS and VSC TRAC warning lights do not blink, inspect
the ABS warning light circuit, VSC TRAC warning light circuit
and Ts terminal circuit.
(6) Keep the vehicle in a stationary condition on a level
surface for 4 sec. or more.

2. When using the hand±held tester:
SENSOR CHECK (TEST MODE)
NOTICE:
When having replaced the master cylinder pressure, yaw
rate and deceleration sensors and/or ECU, perform zero
point calibration of the master cylinder pressure, yaw rate
and deceleration sensors (See page DI±897). Make sure
that this operation is done before performing the following.
(a) Procedures for test mode:
(1) Connect the hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(2) Check that the shift lever is in the P position, and
turn the steering wheel to the neutral position.
(3) Start the engine.
(4) Select the SIGNAL CHECK on the hand±held tes-
ter.
(5) Check that the ABS warning light and VSC TRAC
warning light blink.
HINT:
If the ABS and VSC TRAC warning lights do not blink, inspect
the ABS warning light circuit, VSC TRAC warning light circuit
and Ts terminal circuit.
(6) Keep the vehicle in a stationary condition on a level
surface for 4 sec. or more.

(b) Check the yaw rate and deceleration sensor.
Shift the shift lever to the D position and drive the vehicle
at a vehicle speed of approx. 3 mph (5 km/h), turn the
steering wheel either to the left or right for 90° or more,
and turn the vehicle through 180 degrees. Check that the
VSC buzzer sounds for 3 seconds upon start off.
Stop the vehicle and shift the shift lever to the P position,
check that the VSC buzzer sounds again for 3 seconds.

DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
1. CHECK WARNING LIGHT
(a) Release the parking brake pedal.
(b) When the ignition switch is turned ON, check that the ABS
warning light, VSC TRAC warning light, VSC OFF (TRAC
OFF) indicator light, BRAKE warning light and SLIP indi-
cator light come on for approx. 3 seconds.
HINT:

When the parking brake is applied or the level of the brake
fluid is low, the BRAKE warning light comes on.

If the indicator check result is not normal, proceed to trou-
bleshooting for the ABS warning light circuit, VSC TRAC
warning light circuit, VSC OFF (TRAC OFF) indicator light
circuit, BRAKE warning light circuit or SLIP indicator light
circuit.

The DTCs are simultaneously stored in the memory. The
DTCs can be read by connecting the SST between TC
and CG terminals of the DLC3 and observing the blinking
of the ABS and VSC warning lights, or by connecting a
hand±held tester.

This system has a sensor signal check function (TEST
MODE) (See page DI±899).
The DTC can be read by connecting the SST between ter-
minals TS and CG of the DLC3 and observing the blinking
of the ABS and VSC TRAC warning lights, or by connect-
ing a hand±held tester.
