TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCL) DIAGNOSIS
TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCL)13C-28
STEP 4. Retest the system
Q: Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position. Do the
"TCL OFF" indicator light and the TCL work indicator
light illuminate for three seconds, and then go out after
the engine starts?
YES : The procedure is complete.
NO : . Return to Step 1.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 5: When the TCL Switch is Pushed On, TCL does not Cancel.
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.
.
CIRCUIT OPERATION
ABS/TCL-ECU terminal 21 is grounded every time
the TCL switch is pressed. ABS/TCL-ECU monitors
this operation state and turns the TCL ON or OFF.
.
COMMENT
The cause is probably an open-circuit in the TCL
switch circuit.
.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
Malfunction of the TCL switch.
Damaged harness or connector.
Malfunction of the ABS/TCL-ECU.

1. Disconnect the ABS/TCL-ECU connector A-02.
2. Measure the resistance and terminal voltage at the
ABS/TCL-ECU wiring harness-side connector A-02 using
the Inspection test harness MB991219 (by inserting probe)
between terminals shown in the table below and body
ground.
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.
