the neutral position of the steering angle sensor before running the vehicle.
CAUTION:
To adjust the neutral position of the steering angle sensor, make sure to use CONSULT-II.
(Adjustment cannot be done other than CONSULT-II.)
1. Stop the vehicle with the front wheels in the straight-ahead position.
2. Connect CONSULT-II to data link connector on the vehicle, and
turn the ignition switch to ON position (engine not running).
3. Touch “START”, “ABS”, “WORK SUPPORT” and “ST ANGLE

ABS SYSTEM
If a malfunction occurs in the electrical system, the ABS warning lamp, ESP OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP
indicator lamp in the meter will turn ON. In this condition, the ESP/TCS/ABS and EBD become one of the fol-
lowing conditions by the fail-safe function.
1. Only EBD operates. The same condition as that of models without ESP/TCS/ABS
2. ESP/TCS/ABS and EBD do not operate. Only normal brake operates on 4 wheels.
NOTE:
In the step 1 shown above, the self-diagnosis is carried out at the ignition switch is turned ON and when the
vehicle initial starts. ABS self-diagnosis noise may be heard as usual.
ESP/TCS SYSTEM
If a malfunction occurs in the electrical system, the ESP OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp in the
meter turn on. In this condition, ESP/TCS will be deactivated and it becomes equal to that of models without
ESP/TCS. However, ABS is controlled normally.
If a malfunction occurs in the throttle control system, ESP/TCS control does not operate. Only ABS control
operates normally.
CAUTION:
If the fail-safe function operates, carry out the self-diagnosis for ESP/TCS/ABS control system.
Hydraulic CircuitEFS0019T
CAUTION:
lWhen installing, check for twist and fracture.
lMake sure that there is no interference with other parts when turning the steering clockwise or
counter clockwise.
lThe brake piping is an important safety part. If a brake fluid leak is detected, always disassemble
and replace with a new one, if necessary.
ABS FunctionsEFS0019U
1. In cases of braking suddenly or braking on slippery road (ice road), ABS functions prevent wheels from
lock, improve the stability in sudden braking, and make efficient avoidance of obstacles with steering
manipulation by detecting 4-wheel speed and controlling 4-wheel brake fluid pressure.
2. EBD is integrated in ESP/TCS/ABS system.
CAUTION:
lDuring ABS operation, the brake pedal lightly vibrates and its mechanical noise may be heard.
This is a normal condition.

lWhen starting the engine, or just after starting the vehicle, the brake pedal may vibrate or the
motor operating noise may be heard from the engine compartment. This is a normal status of the
operation check.
lThe stopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles without ABS when the vehicle drives on
rough, gravel, or snowy (fresh deep snow) road.
TCS FunctionsEFS0019V
1. With the wheel speed sensor signals from 4 wheels, the ESP/TCS/ABS control unit detects a wheel spin.
If a wheel spins, the control unit controls brake fluid pressure to the spinning wheel, and cuts the fuel to
the engine. It also closes the throttle valve to reduce the engine torque. Furthermore, throttle position is
controlled to the appropriate engine torque.
2. If a wheel spins, the TCS system works same as LSD (Limited Slip Differential) function applying brake
fluid pressure to the spinning wheel.
3. During TCS operation, it informs a driver of system operation by flashing SLIP indicator lamp.
CAUTION:
lDuring TCS operation, the body and the brake pedal lightly vibrate and the mechanical noise may
be heard. This is a normal condition.
lDepending on road circumstances, the driver may have a sluggish feel. This is not abnormal,
because the optimum traction has the highest priority by TCS operation.
lWhen the vehicle is passing through a road where the surface friction coefficient varies, down-
shifting or depressing the accelerator pedal fully may activate TCS temporarily.
ESP FunctionsEFS0019W
1. The Electronic Stability Program is called the ESP for short.
The ESP is indicated as the VDC (the Vehicle Dynamics Control) on the CONSULT-II screen.
2. In addition to the ABS/TCS function, ESP detects the driver's steering operation amount and brake opera-
tion amount from the steering angle sensor and pressure sensor. Using the information from the yaw rate/
side G sensor and wheel speed sensors, ESP judges the driving condition (conditions of understeer and
oversteer) to improve the stability by controlling the brake on 4 wheels and engine output.
3. During ESP operation, the SLIP indicator lamp flashes to inform the driver of the operation.
CAUTION:
lDuring ESP operation, the body and the brake pedal lightly vibrate and their mechanical noise
may be heard. This is a normal condition.
lIf the vehicle is rotated on a turn table, or rolled and rocked on a ship, the ABS warning lamp,
ESP OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp may turn ON. In this case, start the engine on a
normal road again. If the ABS warning lamp, ESP OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp
turn OFF after the restart, it is normal.
lWhen driving in a steep slope such as a bank, the ABS warning lamp, ESP OFF indicator lamp,
and SLIP indicator lamp may turn ON. In this case, start the engine on a normal road again. If the
ABS warning lamp, ESP OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp turn OFF after the restart, it
is normal.

System DescriptionEFS001CN
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.
