Symptom Diagnosis
The symptoms that cannot be indicated by warning light
can be divided in the following five categories:
1. ABS works frequently but vehicle does not
decelerate.
2. Uneven braking occurs while ABS works.
3. The wheels lock during braking.
4. Brake pedal feel is abnormal.
5. Braking sound (from EHCU) is heard while not
braking.
These are all attributed to problems which cannot be
detected by EHCU self-diagnosis. Use the customer
complaint and test to determine which symptom is
present. Then follow the appropriate flow chart listed
below.

Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)
When the warning light in the meter remains ON, the
EHCU stores the fault identification and disables the
ABS.
How to display and erase DTCs:
NOTE:
DTCs can be displayed also by TECH 2. Use
ªDiagnostic Trouble Codesº mode.1. How to start DTC display:
Confirm that the vehicle has come to a complete
stop (with the wheels standing still) and that the
brake pedal is not depressed. (Unless these two
condition are satisfied, DTC display cannot be
started.)
With IGN OFF, connect #12 terminal with #4
terminal or # 5 terminal (GND) . Then turn IGN ON.
The DLC is located behind the driver side kick panel
350R200001
Keep #12 terminal connected with #4 terminal or # 5
terminal (GND) during DTC display. (If #12 terminal
is separated from #4 terminal or # 5 terminal (GND)
during display, display will stop.)
2. DTC display:
DTC is displayed by blinking warning light.
Double-digit display.
First, normal DTC 12 is displayed three times and
then any other DTCs are displayed three times. (If
no other DTCs have been stored, the display of DTC
12 will be repeated.)3. How to erase code:
Conduct brake switch ON/OFF operation 6 or more
times within 3 seconds of self-diagnosis startup.
The code cannot be erased if more than 3 seconds
have passed since self-diagnosis startup, or if
self-diagnosis has started with brake switched on
(brake pedaled).
