Basic InspectionEFS003QU
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL, FLUID LEAK, AND BRAKE PAD INSPECTION
1. Check fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir. If fluid level is low, add fluid.
2. Check the brake piping and around the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) for leaks. If there is
leaking or seeping fluid, check the following items.

If ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connection is loose, tighten the piping to the specified
torque and recheck for leaks.

If there is damage to the connection flare nut or ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) threads,
replace the damaged part and recheck for leaks.

When there is fluid leaking or seeping from a fluid connection, use a clean cloth to wipe off the fluid and
recheck for leaks. If fluid is still seeping out, replace the damaged part. If the fluid is leaking at the ABS
actuator and electric unit (control unit), replace the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) assem-
bly.
CAUTION:
The ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) cannot be disassembled and must be replaced
as an assembly.
3. Check the brake pads for excessive wear.
POWER SYSTEM TERMINAL LOOSENESS AND BATTERY INSPECTION
Make sure the battery positive cable, negative cable and ground connection are not loose. In addition, make
sure the battery is sufficiently charged.
ABS WARNING LAMP, SLIP INDICATOR LAMP AND VDC OFF INDICATOR LAMP INSPECTION
1. Make sure ABS warning lamp, SLIP indicator lamp and VDC OFF indicator lamp (when VDC OFF switch
is off), turn on for approximately 2 seconds when the ignition switch is turned ON. If they do not, check the
VDC OFF indicator lamp and the VDC OFF switch. Refer to BRC-56, "
VDC OFF SWITCH" . Check CAN
communications. If there are no errors with the VDC OFF switch or CAN communication system, check
combination meter. Refer to DI-5, "
COMBINATION METERS" .
2. Make sure the lamps turn off approximately 2 seconds after the ignition switch is turned ON. If the lamp
does not turn off, conduct self-diagnosis.
3. With the engine running, make sure the VDC OFF indicator lamp turns on and off when the VDC OFF
switch is turned on and off. If the indicator lamp status does not correspond to switch operation, check the
VDC OFF switch. Refer to BRC-56, "
VDC OFF SWITCH" .
4. Make sure ABS warning lamp, SLIP indicator lamp and VDC OFF indicator lamp turn off approximately 2
seconds after the engine is started. If ABS warning lamp, SLIP indicator lamp or VDC OFF indicator lamp
have not turned off 10 seconds after the engine has been started, conduct self-diagnosis of the ABS actu-
ator and electric unit (control unit).
5. After conducting the self-diagnosis, be sure to erase the error memory. Refer to BRC-28, "
CONSULT-II
Function (ABS)" .

COMBINATION METERSPFP:24814
System DescriptionEKS007DL
UNIFIED METER CONTROL UNIT

Speedometer, odometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, oil pressure gauge, voltage meter, A/T temperature
gauge, and water temperature gauge are controlled by the unified meter control unit, which is built into the
combination meter.

Warning indicators are controlled by signals drawn from the CAN communication system, BCM (body con-
trol module), and components connected directly to the combination meter.

Digital meter is adopted for odometer/trip meters*, as well as the A/T position indicator display.
*The record of the odometer is kept even if the battery cable is disconnected.

Odometer/trip meters and A/T indicator segments can be checked in diagnosis mode.

Meters/gauges can be checked in diagnosis mode.
Illumination control
The unified meter control unit outputs the speedometer, odometer/trip meters, tachometer, oil pressure gauge,
voltage meter, A/T indicator, A/T temperature gauge, fuel and temperature gauge lighting when the ignition
switch is turned on. When the lighting switch is turned on, the illumination control switch can be used to adjust
the brightness of the combination meter illumination and the odometer/trip meters and meter illumination.
When the ignition switch is turned from the OFF to the ON position, the combination meter dial lighting will
remain off for 0.7 seconds. For additional combination meter illumination control information, refer to LT-152,
"System Description" .
