57004b00480003004500550044004e004800030049004f0058[id is low, the BRAKE warning light 
comes on. 
b. When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, check that the ABS warning light, TRAC 
OFF indicator light, BRAKE warning light and SLIP indicator light come on for approximately 3 
seconds.  
HINT: 
If the ECU was any stored DTCs, the ABS warning light, "VSC" is displayed on the multi-
information display and TRAC OFF indicator light come on.  
If the indicator does not come on, inspect it the bulb is blown out, and also the wire harness 
between the skid control ECU and the combination meter.

a. Checking DTCs.  
1. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.  
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.  
3. Read the DTCs following the prompts on the tester screen.  
HINT: 
Refer to the hand-held tester operator's manual for further details. 
2.DTC CHECK (USING SST CHECK WIRE) 
a. Checking DTCs of ABS system. 
1. Using SST, connect terminals TC and CG of the DLC3. 
SST 09843-18040  
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.  
3. Read the DTC from the ABS warnin
g light on the combination meter.

2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.  
3. Read the DTC from multi-information display on the combination meter.  
HINT: 
At this time, "VSC OK", is displayed when VSC system is in normal condition. If any DTC is 
detected, "VSC 31", for example, will be displayed.  
If there are 2 or more DTC, DTC will be displayed in ascending order of the number.  
If no code appears, inspect the VSC warning information circuit and TC and CG terminal circuit.
