d. YAW RATE SENSOR CHECK
1. Shift the shift lever to the D range and drive the vehicle at the vehicle speed of approx. 3 mph
(5 km/h), turn the steering wheel either to left or right 90° or more, and maintain 180°
circular drive for the vehicle.

HINT:
The turning direction is not important.
Turning should be completed within 20 seconds. However, it is possible to change the
vehicle speed, stop or move backward.
2. Stop the vehicle and shift the shift lever to the P position, check that the skid control buzzer
sounds for 3 sec.
HINT:
If the skid control buzzer sounds, the sensor check is completed normally.
If the skid control buzzer does not sound, check the skid control buzzer circuit (see SKID
CONTROL BUZZER CIRCUIT ), then perform the sensor check again.
If the skid control buzzer still does not sound, there is a malfunction in the VSC sensor, so
check the DTC.
Drive the vehicle in a 180° circle. At the end of the turn, the direction of the vehicle should
be within 180° +/- 5° of its start position.
Do not spin the wheels.
Even if the VSC sensor check is completed normally, the multi-information displays "VSC
Test" (test mode).

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.

2. Drive the vehicle straight forward.
Drive the vehicle at a speed of 28 to 50 mph (45 to 80 km/h) or higher for several seconds and
check that the ABS warning light goes off.

If the speed sensor check is completed, the ABS warning lamp does not come on while driving and
blinks at test mode when the vehicle stops.
g. END OF SENSOR CHECK
1. If the sensor check is completed, the ABS warning lamp blinks (test mode) when the vehicle
stops and the ABS warning lamp is off when the vehicle is driving.
h. READ TEST MODE CODE
1. Using hand-held tester, check the DTCs in the test mode. (Refer to the step i)
HINT:
The test mode codes and DTCs are displayed.
If the ABS is normal, the ABS warning lamp comes on for 0.25 seconds and goes off for
0.25 seconds repeatedly.
If the VSC system is normal, the multi-information displays "VSC OK".

The DTCs are simultaneously stored in memory. The DTCs can be read by connecting the hand-
held tester.
This system has a sensor signal check function (Test Mode).
The DTC can be read by connecting the SST between terminals TS and CG of DLC3 and observing the
blinking of the ABS warning light and VSC information, or by connecting the hand-held tester.

Whenever a DTC is detected or the ABS operates, the skid control ECU stores the current vehicle
(sensor) state as freeze frame data.
The skid control ECU stores the number of times (maximum: 31) the ignition switch has been turned
from off to the ON position since the last time ABS was activated. However, if the vehicle was stopped or
at low speed (4.3 mph (7 km/h) or less), or if a DTC is detected, the skid control ECU will not count the
number after that.
Freeze frame data at the time the ABS operates:
The skid control ECU stores and updates data whenever the ABS system operates.
When the ECU stores data at the time a DTC is detected, the data stored when the ABS operated is
erased.
Freeze frame data at the time a DTC is detected:
When the skid control ECU stores data at the time a DTC is detected, no updates will be performed until
the data is cleared.
a. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
b. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
c. From the display on the tester, select the "FREEZE FRAME DATA".
