DIAGNOSIS
To ensure that the trouble diagnosis is done accurately and smooth-
ly, observe ªPrecautions in Diagnosing Troublesº and follow ªABS
Diagnostic Flow Tableº.
PRECAUTION IN DIAGNOSING TROUBLES
If the vehicle was operated in any of the following ways, ªABSº
warning light may light momentarily but this does not indicate any-
thing abnormal in ABS.
± The vehicle was driven with parking brake pulled.
± The vehicle was driven with brake dragging.
± The vehicle was stuck in mud, sand, etc.
± Wheel spin occurred while driving.
± Wheel(s) was rotated while the vehicle was jacked up.
Be sure to read ªPrecautions for Electronic Circuit Serviceº in
ªGENERAL INFORMATIONº section before inspection and ob-
serve what is written there.
Be sure to use the trouble diagnosis procedure as described in
the flow table. Failure to follow the flow table may result in incor-
rect diagnosis. (Some other diag. trouble code may be stored by
mistake in the memory of ABS control module during inspection.)

1-1. CUSTOMER COMPLAINT ANALYSIS
Record details of the problem (failure, complaint) and how it occurred as described by the customer.
For this purpose, use of such a questionnaire form as shown below will facilitate collecting information to the
point required for proper analysis and diagnosis.
CUSTOMER QUESTIONNAIRE (EXAMPLE)
Customer's name:Model:VIN:
Date of issue:Date Reg.Date of problem:Mileage:

1-2. PROBLEM SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION
Check if what the customer claimed in CUSTOMER QUESTIONNAIRE is actually found in the vehicle and
if that symptom is found, whether it is identified as a failure. (This step should be shared with the customer
if possible.) When ªABSº warning lamp is not operated correctly, proceed to ªDiagnostic Flow Table-A, B or
Cº.
1-3. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) CHECK, RECORD AND CLEARANCE
Perform ªDiagnostic Trouble Code Checkº as shown below, record it and then clear it referring to ªDiagnostic
Trouble Code Clearanceº in this section.
If the malfunction DTC which was once displayed and then cleared cannot be detected (indicated) again when
the ignition switch is turned ON, attempt to diagnose the trouble based on the DTC recorded in this step may
mislead the diagnosis or make diagnosing difficult. Proceed to Step 2 to check ABS control module for proper
self-diagnosis function.
If the malfunction DTC which was once displayed and then cleared can be detected (indicated) again when
ignition switch is turned ON, proceed to Step 3.
2. DRIVING TEST
Test drive the vehicle at 40 km / h for more than a minute and check if any trouble symptom (such as abnormal
lighting of ªABSº warning lamp) exists.
If the malfunction DTC is confirmed again at ignition switch ON, driving test as described in above is not neces-
sary. Proceed to Step 3.
3. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHECK
Recheck diagnostic trouble code referring to item ªDTC CHECKº as shown below.
4. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE FLOW CHART
According to Diagnostic flow table for the diagnostic trouble code confirmed in Step 3, locate the cause of the
trouble, namely in a sensor, switch, wire harness, connector, actuator, ABS control module or other part and
repair or replace faulty parts.
5. ªDIAGNOSISº IN ªBRAKEº SECTION
Check the parts or system suspected as a possible cause referring to ªDiagnosisº in ªBRAKESº section and
based on symptoms appearing on the vehicle (symptoms obtained through Steps 1-1, 1-2 and 2 and repair or
replace faulty parts, if any.
6. CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEM
Check parts where an intermittent trouble is easy to occur (e.g., wire harness, connector, etc.), referring to IN-
TERMITTENT TROUBLE in ªGENERAL INFORMATIONº section and related circuit of trouble code recorded
in Step 1-3.
7. FINAL CONFIRMATION TEST
Confirm that the problem symptom has gone and the ABS is free from any abnormal conditions. If what has been
repaired is related to the malfunction DTC, clear the DTC once and perform test driving and confirm that a nor-
mal code is indicated.

DTC 15 (DTC C1015) ± G SENSOR CIRCUIT (FOR 4WD MODEL ONLY)
DESCRIPTION
While a vehicle is at stop or running, if the potential difference between the sensor signal terminal ªA14º and the
sensor ground terminal ªA4º is not within the specified voltage value, or if the signal voltage while at a stop does
not vary from that while running, this DTC is set.
Therefore, this DTC may be set when a vehicle is lifted up and its wheel(s) is turned. In such case, clear the DTC
and check again.
