BASIC INSPECTION 3: ABS WARNING LAMP, VDC OFF INDICATOR LAMP, SLIP INDICATOR
LAMP AND BRAKE WARNING LAMP INSPECTION
1. Make sure ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp (when VDC OFF switch is OFF), and SLIP indica-
tor lamp turn on approximately 2 second, and brake warning lamp turns on when ignition switch is turned
ON. If they do not, check VDC OFF indicator lamp and then VDC OFF switch. Refer to BRC-53, "
VDC
OFF SWITCH" . Check CAN communications. Refer to “CAN Communication Inspection”. If there are no
errors with VDC OFF switch and CAN communication system, check combination meter. Refer to DI-5,
"COMBINATION METERS" .
2. Make sure ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, SLIP indicator lamp turn off approximately 2 sec- ond after turn ignition switch ON, and brake warning lamp turns off after engine starts. If lamps do not turn
off, perform self-diagnosis.
3. With engine running, make sure VDC OFF indicator lamp turns on and off when VDC OFF switch is turned ON and OFF. If indicator lamp status does not correspond to switch operation, check the VDC OFF
switch system. Refer to BRC-53, "
VDC OFF SWITCH" .
4. Make sure ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp turn off 2 seconds after engine is started. If ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp have not turned
off 10 seconds after engine has been started, perform self-diagnosis of ABS actuator and electric unit
(control unit).
5. After performing the self-diagnosis, be sure to erase the error memory. Refer to BRC-27, "
SELF-DIAGNO-
SIS" .
CAUTION:
Brake warning lamp turns on when parking brake is operated (switch on) and brake fluid level
switch is activated (leak of brake fluid).
Inspection 1: Wheel Sensor CircuitAFS001ST
DTC C1101-C1108
After using the CONSULT-II SELF-DIAG RESULTS to determine the location of the malfunctioning wheel sen-
sor, check all areas to determine the component to be replaced.
CAUTION:

Do not measure the resistance value and also voltage between sensor terminal with tester etc.,
because sensor is an active sensor.

Do not expand terminal of connector with a tester terminal stick, when it does the inspection with
tester.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1. CHECK TIRE
Check air pressure, wear and size.
Are air pressure, wear, and size within the standard values?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Adjust air pressure, or replace tire.
2. CHECK SENSOR AND SENSOR ROTOR

Check the condition of the sensor mount (for looseness, etc.).

Check the surface of front sensor rotor rubber for damage.

Check rear sensor rotor for damage.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> Repair sensor mount or replace sensor rotor.
