LONG STOPPING DISTANCES ON LOOSE ROAD SURFACESWhen braking on loose surfaces like snow-covered or gravel roads, the stopping
distance can be longer for an ABS-equipped vehicle than the stopping distance for a
vehicle with a conventional brake system. SHOCK AT STARTING CHECK Shock may be felt when the brake pedal is lightly pressed while driving at a low
speed. This is a normal characteristic because the ABS system operation check is
carried out when vehicle speed is 8 km/h (5 mph) or less. ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) DIAGNOSIS INTRODUCTION TO ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS The anti-lock braking system (ABS) operates differently from conventional brake
systems. These differences include sounds, sensations, and vehicle performance that
owners and service technicians who are not familiar with ABS may not be used to.
Some operational characteristics may seem to be malfunctions, but they are simply
signs of normal ABS operation. When diagnosing the ABS system, keep these
operational characteristics in mind. Inform the owner of the kind of performance
characteristics to expect from an ABS-equipped vehicle. ABS DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DETECTION CONDITIONS ABS diagnostic trouble codes (ABS DTCs) are set under different conditions,
depending on the malfunction detected. Most ABS DTCs will only be set during
vehicle operation. Some ABS DTCs will also be set during the ABS self-check
immediately after the engine is started.
When you check if an ABS DTC will be displayed again after the DTC has been
erased, you should duplicate the ABS DTC set conditions. Depending on the
detection timing and set conditions for the specific ABS DTC, you must either drive
the vehicle or turn the engine off and restart it. To set the proper conditions for that
DTC again, refer to ABS DTC SET CONDITIONS
for each ABS DTC that you
are trying to reset.

IGNITION SWITCH GENERAL DESCRIPTION < UP TO DECEMBER 2003 > IGNITION KEY REMINDER TONE ALARM The ignition key reminder tone alarm will sound under the following condition, and
warn the driver to remove the ignition key.
The driver's door is opened when the ignition switch is at "LOCK" (OFF) or
"ACC" position without removing the ignition key.
However, the light reminder tone alarm will take precedence over this function.
DOOR LOCK PREVENTION FUNCTION If the key is left in the ignition switch while the driver's door opened or the assistant
door opened, all door are automatically unlock to prevent locking the ignition key
in the vehicle after door is locked. IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM The immobilizer system consists of the ignition key, the immobilizer-ECU with key
ring antenna, and the PCM. The ignition key has a built-in transponder. Only the
registered ignition key permits the engine to start, therefore, the engine can never be
started by means of a forged key or by connecting the ignition wiring directly. The
system is significantly safe and reliable against theft. In addition, the driver has only
to turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position to activate the immobilizer system.
If the requirements for starting the engine are not satisfied, the engine will be
immobilized. If a registered ignition key is lost, all your ignition keys need to be
registered again using scan tool MB991958 (MUT-III Sub Assembly) to ensure
security (Refer to ON
-VEHICLE SERVICE
). An additional ignition key can be
registered as follows (only if no ignition keys are lost):
Using scan tool MB991958 (MUT-III Sub Assembly) (Refer to ON
-
VEHICLE SERVICE
).

2. Turn the ignition switch "ON" position.
3. Read the diagnosis code.
Q: Have any MFI system DTCs set?
YES: Refer to DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART
.
NO: Go to Step 4.
STEP 4. Attempt to start the engine.
Q: Does the engine start?
YES: The procedure is complete (If no malfunctions are found in all steps,
an intermittent malfunction is suspected. Refer to HOW TO COPE
WITH INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTIONS
).
NO: Refer to SYMPTOM CHART
. If the malfunction is not resolved,
replace the immobilizer-ECU. Then register the password (secret code)
and encrypted code. (Refer to ON
-VEHICLE SERVICE
.) The engine
should now start.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 4: THE IMMOBILIZER INDICATOR LIGHT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE. < UP TO
