“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

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

ABS Check Light Test
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.
 The circuit is normal if the warning light (lamp) in
the meter panel comes on and goes out in
accordance with Tech2’s instruction.

Return Pump Test
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.
Make sure of the working sound of the return pump
relay and return pump.
The circuit is normal if the working sound of the return
pump relay and return pump are made in accordance
with Tech2’s instruction.

Purpose: The purpose of this test is to detect brake
pipe and valve line harness wire for wrong connections
and valve trouble.
This test will help you confirm the result of your repair
service including the removal/reinstallation of brake
pipe, valve line harness and valve.
Test conditions: The ignition key is in the “ON” position
with the four wheels lifted up. The brake pedal is
stepped on, released and stepped on again with the
parking brake released.
Test procedure:
1. Connect Tech 2 with the vehicle, and select
Actuaor Test from the menus.
2. Select a Solenoid Valve Test Menu from the
Actuaor Test Menus.

enough to allow the lifted tire to rotate.
3. Maintain the lift up.
4. Wipe the floor surface to remove water and oil
so that the surface may become unslippery.
5. Do not load the vehicle.





When lifting up the vehicle, be sure to
observe the lifting up points. Refer to
vehicle lifting points in 0A section.
