TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCL) DIAGNOSIS
TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCL)13C-35
STEP 2. Using diagnostic tool MB991958, check TCL
actuator test item09: Engine TCL Drive.
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 seconds.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
(5) Disconnect diagnostic tool MB991958.
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). (Refer to GROUP 35B
Hydraulic
Unit P.35B-93). Then go to Step 4.
STEP 3. Retest the system
Q: Does the TCL work normally?
YES : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent.
(Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points
How to
Cope with Intermittent Malfunction P.00-14).
NO : Replace the hydraulic unit (integrated with
ABS/TCL-ECU). (Refer to GROUP 35B
Hydraulic
Unit P.35B-93). Then go to Step 4.
STEP 4. Retest the system
Q: Does the TCL work normally?
YES : The procedure is complete.
NO : Return to Step 1.

DATA LIST REFERENCE TABLEM1136003500071
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 following items can be read by the diagnostic
tool from the ABS/TCL-ECU input data. (Refer to
P.13C-3).
NOTE: Since the TCL is controlled with the same ABS/TCL-ECU used to control the ABS, the stoplight switch

INTRODUCTIONM1171002000254
If there is a malfunction in the engine control system,
the accelerator pedal or throttle body may be faulty.
TROUBLESHOOTING STRATEGYM1171002100284
Use these steps to plan your diagnostic strategy.
If you follow them carefully, you will be sure that you
have exhausted most of the possible ways to find an
engine control system fault.
1. Gather information from the customer.2. Verify that the condition described by the
customer exists.
3. Find the malfunction by following the Symptom
Chart.
4. Verify that the malfunction is eliminated.
