SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONPFP:00000
System DiagramEFS004FZ
ABS FunctionEFS004G0

The Anti-Lock Brake System is a function that detects wheel revolution while braking, and it improves
handling stability during sudden braking by electrically preventing 4 wheel lock. Maneuverability is also
improved for avoiding obstacles.

In case of the electrical system breaks down, then the Fail-Safe function starts, the ABS becomes inoper-
ative, and the ABS warning lamp turns on.

Electrical System Diagnosis by CONSULT-II is available.
EBD FunctionEFS004G1

Electronic Brake Distributor is a function that detects subtle slippages between the front and rear wheels
during braking, and it improves handling stability by electronically controlling the Brake Fluid Pressure
which results in reduced rear wheel slippage.

In case of the electrical system break down, then the Fail-Safe function is starts, the EBD and ABS
becomes inoperative, and the ABS warning lamp is turned on.

Electrical System Diagnosis by CONSULT-II is available.
Fail-Safe FunctionEFS004G2
ABS, EBD SYSTEM
In case of the electrical problems with the ABS, the ABS warning lamp will turn on. In case of electrical prob-
lem with the EBD, ABS warning lamp will turn on. Simultaneously, the ABS become one of the following condi-
tions of the Fail-Safe function.
1. For ABS trouble, only the EBD is activated and the condition of the vehicle is the same condition of vehi-
cles without ABS equipment.
2. For EBD trouble, the EBD and ABS become inoperative, and the condition of the vehicle is the same as
the condition of vehicles without ABS, EBD equipment.
NOTE:
In condition 1 described above, an ABS self diagnosis sound may be heard. That is a normal condition
because a self diagnosis for “Ignition switch ON” and “the First Starting” are being performed.

WHEEL SENSORSPFP:47910
Removal and InstallationEFS004GR
REMOVAL
Pay attention to the following when removing sensor.
CAUTION:

As much as possible, avoid rotating sensor when removing it. Pull sensors out without pulling on
sensor harness.

Take care to avoid damaging sensor edges or rotor teeth. Remove wheel sensor first before
removing front or rear wheel hub. This is to avoid damage to sensor wiring and loss of sensor
function.
INSTALLATION
Pay attention to the following when installing sensor. Tighten installation bolts to specified torques.

When installing, check that there is no foreign material such as iron chips on pick-up and mounting hole of
the sensor. Check that no foreign material has been caught in the sensor rotor. Remove any foreign mate-
rial and clean the mount.

When installing front sensor, be sure to press rubber grommets in until they lock at the three locations
shown in the figure (2 at strut and 1 at body panel). When installed, harness must not be twisted.

3. During TCS operation, it informs a driver of system operation by flashing SLIP indicator lamp.
CAUTION:

During TCS operation, body and brake pedal lightly vibrate and the mechanical noise may be
heard. This is a normal condition.

Depending on road circumstances, a driver may have a sluggish feel. This is not abnormal,
because the optimum traction has the highest priority by TCS operation.

When 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.
ABS FunctionEFS0019U
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 wheel speed and controlling brake fluid pressure.
2. EBD is integrated in ESP/TCS/ABS system.
CAUTION:

During ABS operation, brake pedal lightly vibrates and its mechanical noise may be heard. This is
a normal condition.

When starting engine, or just after starting vehicle, brake pedal may vibrate or the motor operating
noise may be heard from engine compartment. This is a normal status of the operation check.

The stopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles without ABS when vehicle drives on
rough, gravel, or snowy (fresh deep snow) road.
EBD FunctionEFS004HO

Electronic Brake Distributor is a function that detects subtle slippages between front and rear wheels dur-
ing braking, and it improves handling stability by electronically controlling the brake fluid pressure which
results in reduced rear wheel slippage.

In case of electrical system break down, the fail-safe function is activated, EBD and ABS becomes inoper-
ative, and ABS warning lamp and brake warning lamp are turned on.

Electrical System Diagnosis by CONSULT-II is available.
Fail-Safe FunctionEFS004HP
ESP/ TCS SYSTEM
In case of throttle control system trouble, ESP OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp are turned on, and
the condition of vehicle is the same as the condition of vehicles without ESP/TCS equipment. In case of trou-
ble to the throttle control system, the ABS control continues to operate normally without ESP/TCS control.
CAUTION:
If the fail-safe function is activated, then perform the self- diagnosis for ESP/TCS/ABS control system.
ABS, EBD SYSTEM
In case of electrical malfunctions with the ABS, ABS warning lamp, ESP OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indica-
tor lamp will turn on. In case of electrical malfunctions with the EBD, brake warning lamp, ABS warning lamp,
ESP OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp will turn on. Simultaneously, the ESP/ TCS/ABS become one
of the following conditions of the fail-safe function.
1. For ABS trouble, only the EBD is activated and the condition of vehicle is the same condition of vehicles
without ESP/TCS/ABS equipment.
2. For EBD trouble, the EBD and ABS become inoperative, and the condition of vehicle is the same as the
condition of vehicles without ESP/TCS/ABS, EBD equipment.
NOTE:
In condition 1 described above, an ABS self-diagnosis sound may be heard. That is a normal condition
because a self-diagnosis for “Ignition switch ON” and “The first starting” are being performed.

Check connectors for ESP/TCS/ABS control unit and meter vehicle-side harness.
Is inspection result OK?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Repair or replace the disconnected connector.
2. SLIP INDICATOR LAMP POWER CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Disconnect the meter connector. Check that the voltage between the
vehicle-side harness terminal and body ground is battery voltage
(Approx. 12V).
Is inspection result OK?
YES >> GO TO Refer to BRC-107, "Inspection 15 CAN Commu-
nication Circuit, ESP/TCS/ABS Control Unit and Steer-
ing Angle Sensor" .
NO >>

Fuse inspection

Inspection for harness and connectors between fuse
block and meter

Check the power supply circuit (battery and ignition
switch circuit).
