Q: Are the check results for actuator test item 09 satisfactory?
YES: Go to Step 3.
NO: Replace the hydraulic unit (integrated with ABS/TCL-ECU < FWD > or
TCL/ASC-ECU < AWD >). (Refer to HYDRAULIC UNIT
). Then go to Step
4 .
STEP 3. Retest the system
Q: Does the TCL system work normally?
YES: It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent. (Refer to HOW
TO COPE WITH INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTIONS
