If a collision (front collision) is determined to be unavoidable, the pre-collision brake assist system
receives the brake assist standby signal from the distance control ECU and enters brake assist standby
mode.
If the STP signal is input, the pre-collision brake assist system improves deceleration performance by
increasing pressure according to the amount of brake pedal effort.
The hand-held tester can be used at step 5, 8, 11, 14

OK: Go to next step
There are no momentary interruptions.
HINT:
Perform the above inspection before removing the sensor and connector.
NG: Go to step 5
OK: Go to next step
2.READ VALUE OF HAND-HELD TESTER (FRONT SPEED SENSOR)
a. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
b. Start the engine.
c. Select the DATA LIST mode on the hand-held tester.
MEASUREMENT ITEM / RANGE DESCRIPTION
d. Check that there is no difference between the speed value output from the speed sensor displayed
on the hand-held tester and the speed value displayed on the speedometer when driving the vehicle.
OK: Go to next step
There is almost no difference from the displayed speed value.
HINT:
There is tolerance of 10 % in the speedometer indication.
NG: Go to step 4

3.INSPECT SPEED SENSOR AND SENSOR ROTOR SERRATIONS
INSPECTION USING OSCILLOSCOPE
a. Connect the oscilloscope to terminal FR+ - FR- or FL+ - FL- of the skid control ECU.
b. Drive the vehicle at approximately 19 mph (30 km/h), and check the signal waveform.
OK: Go to next step
A waveform as shown in a figure should be output.
HINT:
As the vehicle speed (wheel revolution speed) increases, a cycle of the waveform narrows and the
fluctuation in the output voltage becomes greater.
When noise is identified in the waveform on the oscilloscope, error signals are generated due to the
speed sensor rotor's scratches, looseness or foreign matter attached to it.
NG: Go to step 7
