5. Check that the ABS warning light blinking TEST MODE and "VSC Test" is displayed on the
multi-information display.
HINT:
If the ABS warning light and VSC information do not blink, inspect the ABS warning light
circuit and VSC warning information circuit.

HINT:
The blinking pattern of the ABS warning lamp and the "VSC Test" display on the multi-
information do not change. When the sensor is normal and in the test mode, if the above conditions
are met, the check is completed.

c. CHECK THE MASTER CYLINDER PRESSURE SENSOR
1. Leaving the vehicle in a stationary condition engine is off and the brake pedal in a free
condition for 1 second. or more, continue to quickly depress the brake pedal with a force of
98 N (10 kgf, 22 lbf) or more for 1 second, or more.
HINT:
At this time, the ABS warnin
g light stays on for 3 seconds.

e. BRAKE PEDAL LOAD SENSING SWITCH CHECK
1. Keep depressing the brake pedal for one second or more with a brake pedal load of
approximately 59 N (6kgf) with the ignition switch in the ON position (engine is off).
2. Check if the brake warning lamp comes on and the ABS motor operating sound can be heard.
HINT:
If rechecking the brake pedal load sensing switch after the engine starts, exit the test mode
and enter the test mode to release the negative pressure in the booster by pumping the brake
pedal.
3. Start the engine and depress the brake pedal with a brake pedal load of approximately 59 N
(6 kgf) or more to check if the brake warning lamp goes off.
f. SPEED SENSOR CHECK
1. Check the ABS warnin
g lamp is blinking in TEST MODE.

HINT:
If a malfunction code is displayed during the DTC check, check the circuit indicated by the table below.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1.RECONFIRM DTC
HINT:
This code is detected when a problem is determined in the brake actuator assy.
The ABS solenoid circuit is in the brake actuator assy. Therefore, solenoid circuit inspection relay unit
inspection cannot be performed. Be sure to check if the DTC code is output before replacing the brake
actuator assy.
a. Clear the DTC (see DTC CHECK/CLEAR
).
b. Start the engine.
c. Drive the vehicle at the speed of 4 mph (6 km/h) or more.
d. Check that the same DTC is recorded.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1.PERFORM ACTIVE TEST BY HAND-HELD TESTER (ABS MOTOR RELAY OPERATION)
a. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
b. Start the engine.
c. Select the ACTIVE TEST mode on the hand-held tester.
d. Check the operation sound of the ABS motor individually when operating it with the hand-held
tester.
