BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM 5A-21

Computer System Service Precautions
The Anti-lock Brake System and Electronic Brake-force
Distribution interfaces directly with the Electronic
Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU) which is a control
computer that is similar in some regards to the Engine
Control Module. These modules are designed to
withstand normal current draws associated with vehicle
operation. However, care must be taken to avoid
overloading any of the EHCU circuits. In testing for
opens or shorts, do not ground or apply voltage to any
of the circuits unless instructed to do so by the
appropriate diagnostic procedure. These circuits should
only be tested with a high impedance multimeter
5-8840-0366-0 or special tools as described in this
section. Power should never be removed or applied to
any control module with the ignition in the “ON”
position.
Before removing or connecting battery cables, fuses or
connectors, always turn the ignition switch to the “OFF”
position.

General Service Precautions
The following are general precautions which should be
observed when servicing and diagnosing the Anti-lock
Brake System and/or other vehicle systems. Failure to
observe these precautions may result in Anti-lock Brake
System and Electronic Brake-force Distribution
damage.
 If welding work is to be performed on the vehicle
using an electric arc welder, the EHCU and valve
block connectors should be disconnected before
the welding operation begins.
 The EHCU and valve block connectors should
never be connected or disconnected with the
ignition “ON”.
Note:
 If only rear wheels are rotated using jacks or drum
tester, the system will diagnose a speed sensor
malfunction and the “ABS and Brake” warning lamp
will illuminate. But actually no trouble exists. When
the DTC is not detected and the ABS and BRAKE
warning lamp is on, “How to erase code” is
performed and a ABS and BRAKE warning lamp
are off.
If the battery has been discharged
The engine may stall if the battery has been completely
discharged and the engine is started via jumper cables.
This is because the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) and
Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) System
requires a large quantity of electricity. In this case, wait
until the battery is recharged, or set the ABS and EBD
to a non-operative state by removing the fuse for the
ABS. After the battery has been recharged, stop the
engine and install the ABS fuse. Start the engine again,
and confirm that the ABS warning Lamp does not light.
Note on Intermittents
As with virtually any electronic system, it is difficult to
identify an intermittent failure. In such a case
duplicating the system malfunction during a test drive or
a good description of vehicle behavior from the
customer may be helpful in locating a “most likely”
failed component or circuit. The symptom diagnosis
chart may also be useful in isolating the failure. Most
intermittent problems are caused by faulty electrical
connections or wiring. When an intermittent failure is
encountered, check suspect circuits for:
 Suspected harness damage.
 Poor mating of connector halves or terminals not
fully seated in the connector body (backed out).
 Improperly formed or damaged terminals.

Test Driving ABS Complaint Vehicles
In case that there has been an abnormality in the
lighting pattern of “ABS” warning lamp, the fault can be
located in accordance with the “DIAGNOSIS BY “ABS”
WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATION PATTERN”. In case
of such trouble as can be detected by the driver as a
vehicle symptom, however, it is necessary to give a test
drive following the test procedure mentioned below,
thereby reproducing the symptom for trouble diagnosis
on a symptom basis:
1.
Start the engine and make sure that the “ABS” W/L
goes OFF. If the W/L remains ON, it means that
the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is stored.
Therefore, read the code and locate the fault.
Note: The DTC cannot be cleared if the vehicle speed
does not exceed about 6km/h (4mph) at DTC, even
though the repair operation is completed.
2. Start the vehicle and accelerate to about 30 km/h
(19 mph) or more.
3. Slowly brake and stop the vehicle completely.
4. Then restart the vehicle and accelerate to about 40
km/h (25 mph) or more.
5. Brake at a time so as to actuate the ABS and stop
the vehicle.
6. Be cautious of abnormality during the test. If the
W/L is actuated while driving, read the DTC and
locate the fault.
7. If the abnormality is not reproduced by the test,
make best efforts to reproduce the situation
reported by the customer.
8. If the abnormality has been detected, repair in
accordance with the “SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS” .
Note:

Be sure to give a test drive on a wide, even road
with a small traffic.
 If an abnormality is detected, be sure to suspend
the test and start trouble diagnosis at once.

5A-22 BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM

“ABS” Warning Lamp
When ABS and trouble occurs to actuate “ABS”
warning lamp, the trouble code corresponding to the
trouble is stored in the EHCU. Only ordinary brake is
available with ABS being unactuated. Even when
“ABS” warning lamp is actuated, if the starter switch is
set ON after setting it OFF once, the EHCU checks up
on the entire system and, if there is no abnormality,
judges ABS to work currently and the warning lamp is lit
normally even though the trouble code is stored.
NOTE: Illumination of the “ABS” warning lamp indicates
that anti-lock braking is no longer available. Power
assisted braking without anti-lock control is still
available.

Normal Operation
“ABS ” Warning Lamp
When the ignition is first moved from “OFF” to “RUN”,
the amber “ABS” warning lamp will turn “ON”. The
“ABS” warning lamp will turn “ON” during engine
starting and will usually stay “ON” for approximately
three seconds after the ignition switch is returned to the
“ON” position. The warning lamp should remain “OFF”
at all other times.

Brake (EBD) Warning Lamp

825L300001
Vehicles equipped with the EBD (Electronic Brake-force
Distribution) System have an have “Brake” warning
lamp in the instrument panel.
If ABS warning lamp and Brake warning lamp are turn
"ON", then EBD is failed. ( Parking brake switch is
"OFF")
In the following conditions, EBD warning lamp is "ON".
 Starter switch is "ON", engine "OFF".
( Parking brake switch is "OFF")
If engine is started, then EBD warning lamp is "OFF".
( Parking brake switch is "OFF")

Actuator Test (Tech 2)
There are 5 different menus available for this test. The
state of each circuit can be tested by using these
menus. Especially when DTC cannot be detected, a
faulty circuit can be diagnosed by testing each circuit by
means of these menus.
Even when DTC has been detected, the circuit tests
using these menus could help discriminate between a
mechanical trouble and an electrical trouble.
In all cases test condition; Engine stops with the key
turned to the “ON” position. To be more specific, the
test is conducted with the brake pedal stepped on after
stepping once and releasing.
 Engine: Stop
 Ignition SW: ON

Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)
When the warning lamp in the meter remains ON, the
EHCU stores the fault identification and disables the
ABS.

BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM 5A-33

How to display and erase DTCs:
Note:
 DTCs can be displayed also by TECH 2 use
“Diagnostic Trouble Codes“ mode.
1. How to start DTC display:
 Confirm that the vehicle has come to a
complete stop (with the wheels standing still)
and that the brake pedal is not depressed.
(Unless these two condition are satisfied, DTC
display cannot be started.)
 With IGN OFF, connect #12 terminal with #4
terminal or # 5 terminal (GND) . Then turn IGN
ON.

The DLC is located behind the driver side kick panel

















This illustration is based on RHD model
350L300005

 Keep #12 terminal connected with #4 terminal
or # 5 terminal (GND) during DTC display. (If
#12 terminal is separated from #4 terminal or #
5 terminal (GND) during display, display will
stop.)
2. DTC display:
 DTC is displayed by blinking warning lamp.
 Double-digit display.
 First, normal DTC 12 is displayed three times
and then any other DTCs are displayed three
times. (If no other DTCs have been stored, the
display of DTC 12 will be repeated.)
3. How to erase code:
 Conduct brake switch ON/OFF operation 6 or
more times within 3 seconds of self-diagnosis
startup.
 The code cannot be erased if more than 3
seconds have passed since self-diagnosis
startup, or if self-diagnosis has started with
brake switched on (brake pedaled).
