TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCL) DIAGNOSIS
TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCL)13C-37
ACTUATOR TEST REFERENCE TABLEM1136003600067
NOTE: If the ABS-8 ECU or the active wheel
speed sensor are disconnected, or if the wiring is
an open/ short circuit, the ABS 8 ECU will shut
off power supply to the respective wheel speed
sensor. All other wheel speed sensors will oper-
ate normally. To restore the power supply, the
ignition switch must be turned to the "OFF" posi-
tion then to the "ON" position again.The diagnostic tool activates the following actuators
for testing. (Refer to P.13C-3).
NOTE: Since the TCL is controlled with the same ABS/TCL-ECU used to control the ABS, the FL, FR, RL or
RR Wheel ABS Drive testing items (No.01 to 04) used only for the ABS also appear. MUT-III

HARNESS-SIDE CONNECTOR TERMINALS
.
Required Special Tools:
MB991219: Inspection Test Harness
MB991223: Harness Set
1. Disconnect the ABS/TCL-ECU connector A-02 and the
related wheel speed sensor connector, then turn the ignition
switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
2. Measure the resistance and continuity between the
ABS/TCL-ECU wiring harness-side connector A-02 and the
Wheel Speed Sensor connectors using the Inspection test
harness MB991219 (by inserting probe) and an ohmmeter
between terminals shown in the table below.
NOTE: The special tool (Inspection test harness) MB991219
for connector pin contact pressure should be used. The test
probe should never be forcibly inserted, as it may cause a
defective contact.
3. The terminal layout is shown in the table below.

VOLTAGE AND SIGNAL CHECK AT ABS-ECU
(A-02) USING OSCILLOSCOPE
NOTE: If the ABS-8 ECU or the active wheel speed
sensor are disconnected, or if the wiring is an open/
short circuit, the ABS 8 ECU will shut off power sup-
ply to the respective wheel speed sensor. All other
wheel speed sensors will operate normally. To
restore the power supply, the ignition switch must be
turned to the "OFF" position then to the "ON" position
again..
WHEEL SPEED SENSOR AIR GAP:
Sensor air gap: (0.2mm - 0.85mm).
.
Measure supply voltage for wheel speed sensor using an
oscilloscope.
(1) ABS-ECU must remain connected.
(2) Wheel speed sensors must emain connected
(3) Remove ABS connector protection cap to access terminal
location from the rear of connector for back-probing.
(4) Using probe (MB991222) , backprobe the wheel speed
sensor voltage supply circuit terminals (16, 9, 6 and 8) at
the ABS-ECU connector (A-02) individually.
(5) Connect oscilloscope (as per figure 1) shows, to the
appropriate terminal positions and check supply voltage
individually with scope.

(7) The recommended Supply Voltage at terminals 16, 9, 6,
and 8 are:
Set value: 10.0Volts - 14.5Volts
Q: Is the supply voltage within the set value?
YES : Check wheel speed sensor signal at ABS-ECU using
an oscillopscope
NO :
Refer to Power supply systemP.35B-63
Refer to Motor supply systemP.35B-48
Refer to Valve relay systemP.35B-56
Measure wheel speed sensor signals using an
oscilloscope.
NOTE: To check connections of the wheel speed sensors,
remove the rear seat to access the rear wheel speed sen-
sor connectors, and remove inner front guard (splash
shield) to access the front wheel speed sensors.
(1) Wheel speed sensor must remain connected to measure
active sensor.
(2) ABS-ECU must remain connected.
(3) Remove ABS connector protection cap to access terminal
location from the rear of connector for back-probing.
(4) Using probe (MB991222), backprobe the wheel speed
sensor signal circuit terminals (5, 10, 17, 19), and check
individually at the ABS-ECU connector A-02
(5) The wheel to be tested must be free to turn by hand or be
driven by brake dynamometer
(6) Connect oscilloscope (as per figure 2) shows, to the
appropriate terminal positions and check sensor operation
individually with scope.

Connect oscilloscope to FL sensor signal terminal (5) at
ABS-ECU (A-02)
Connect oscilloscope to FR sensor signal terminal (10)
at ABS-ECU (A-02)
Connect oscilloscope to RL sensor signal terminal (17)
at ABS-ECU (A-02)
Connect oscilloscope to RR sensor signal terminal (19)
at ABS-ECU (A-02)
(7) Recommended Oscilloscope setting:
Y-axis: 2Volts
X-axis: 100ms
(8) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(9) Turn wheel by hand at approximately 1 revolution per
second (r/sec) or drive on brake dynamometer at 5km/h.
The measurement reading of the active wheel speed sen-
sors on the oscilloscope should correspond to figure 3
below.
NOTE: If the oscilloscope signal shape is correct and wheel
sensor air gap is within specification, but the voltage values are
either higher or lower as shown in the table below, the wheel
speed sensor must be changed.

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCL)13C-48
To prevent damage to diagnostic tool MB991958, always
turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position
before connecting or disconnecting diagnostic tool
MB991958.
1. Connect diagnostic tool MB991958 to the data link
connector. (Refer to P.13C-3).
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
The engine speed increases after the actuator test
because the actuator test continues for only three sec-
onds. Therefore, release the accelerator pedal immedi-
ately.
3. Use diagnostic tool MB991958 to check the actuator test.
(Refer to P.13C-3).
Item 09: Engine TCL Drive.
When the accelerator pedal is depressed at the same
time that the button for actuator test item 09 displayed
on diagnostic tool MB991958 is pressed, the system
prevents the engine speed from rising for three sec-
onds.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
5. Disconnect diagnostic tool MB991958.
6. If defective, repair it. (Refer to P.13C-34, TCL diagnosis

Symptom Procedures
Inspection Procedure 6).
TCL SWITCH CHECKM1136001700024
1. Remove the TCL switch. (Refer to P.13C-49).
2. Measure the resistance between terminal 1 and terminal 2
when the TCL switch is pressed or released. If the values
measured at the time correspond to those in the table below,
the resistance values are correct.
