NOTE: The preferred method is to use the HDS to
retrieve the DTCs.
When the PCM senses an abnormality in the input or
output system, the D indicator (A) in the gauge control
module (tach) (B) will usually blink.
When the D indicator has been reported on, connect the
HDS to the DLC (A) located under the driver’s side of the
dashboard. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), select
SCS mode, then the D indicator will indicate (flash) the
DTC. If the D indicator and the MIL come on at the same time,
or if a driveability problem is suspected, follow this
procedure:
1. Connect the HDS to the DLC. (See the HDS user’s manual for specific instructions.)
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II). Make sure the HDS communicates with the PCM. If it does not, go
to the DLC circuit troubleshooting (see page
11-204).
3. Select SCS mode, then observe the D indicator in the gauge control module (tach). Codes 1 through 9
are indicated by individual short blinks. Codes 10
and above are indicated by a series of long and
short blinks. One long blink equals 10 short blinks.
Add the long and short blinks together to determine
the code.
4. Record all fuel and emissions DTCs and A/T DTCs.
5. If there is a fuel and emissions DTC, first check the fuel and emissions system as indicated by the DTC.
6. Clear the DTC and the data.
7. Drive the vehicle for several minutes under the
same conditions as those indicated by the freeze
data, and then recheck for DTCs. If the A/T DTC
returns, go to the indicated DTC’s troubleshooting.
If the DTC does not return, there was an
intermittent problem within the circuit. Make sure
all pins and terminals in the circuit are tight.

NOTE:
 If the MIL is on, troubleshoot the fuel and emissions systems first.
 Even though the system is operating normally, the EPS indicator will come on caused by the detecting
condition of DTC 21-01 or DTC 21-02 when you raise
the engine speed with the vehicle stopped.
 Clear the DTC related to the ABS/VSA.
1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
2. Raise the vehicle, and support it with safety stands in the proper locations (see page 1-11), and allow
all wheels to rotate freely.
3. Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC).
4. Turn off VSA by using the VSA OFF switch.
5. Start the engine, run the vehicle in the 4th (M/T), or D position (A/T).
6. Check the VEHICLE SPEED in the EPS DATA LIST with the HDS.
The system is OK at this time.
Go to step 7. 7. Check for DTCs in the fuel and emissions system
(M/T) or A/T system (A/T) with the HDS.
Troubleshoot the indicated DTC(s).
Go to step 8.
8. Start the engine, and check the tachometer.
Go to step 9.
Troubleshoot the gauge control module (tach)
(see page 22-241).

Wheel Alignment
The suspension can be adjusted for front camber, front
toe, and rear toe. However, each of these adjustments
are related to each other. For example, when you adjust
camber, the toe will change. Therefore, you must adjust
the front wheel alignment whenever you adjust camber
or toe.
For proper inspection and adjustment of the wheel
alignment, do these checks: 1. Release the parking brake to avoid an incorrect measurement.
2. Make sure the suspension is not modified.
3. Make sure the fuel tank is full, and that the spare tire, the jack, and the tools are in place on the
vehicle.
4. Check the tire size and tire pressure.
5. Check the runout of the wheels and tires (see page 18-9). 6. Check the suspension ball joints (Hold a tire with
your hands, and move it up and down and right and
left to check for movement).
7. Before doing alignment inspections, be sure to remove all extra weight from the vehicle, and no
one should be inside the vehicle (driver or
passengers).
8. Bounce the vehicle up and down several times to stabilize the suspension.
9. Check that the steering column is set at the center tilt and telescopic position.
Use commercially available computerized four wheel
alignment equipment to measure wheel alignment
(caster, camber, toe, and turning angle). Follow the
equipment manufacturer’s instructions. 1. Check the caster angle.
 If the measurement is within specifications,measure the camber angle.
 If the measurement is not within specifications, check for bent or damaged suspension
components.

latest software (see page 11-227), or substitute a
known-good ECM/PCM (see page 11-7), then go to
step 1 and recheck. If the ECM/PCM was updated
and DTCs are not indicated, troubleshooting is
complete. If the ECM/PCM was substituted and
DTCs are not indicated, replace the original ECM/
PCM (see page 11-228).
5. Check the VEHICLE SPEED in the TPMS DATA LIST with the HDS.
The system is OK at this time.
Substitute a known-good TPMS control unit
(see page 18-75), and recheck. NOTE: Check for fuel and emission systems DTCs with
the HDS, and troubleshoot the ECM/PCM and F-CAN
communication errors first (see page 11-3).
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), then turn the ignition switch to ON (II) again.
4. Wait about 5 seconds.

Intermittent Failures

ABS Components
General Troubleshooting Information (cont’d)
 The memory holds all DTCs. However, when the
same DTC is detected more than once, the more
recent DTC is written over the earlier one. Therefore,
when the same problem is detected repeatedly, it is
memorized as a single DTC.
 The DTCs are indicated in the order they occur.
 The DTCs are memorized in the EEPROM. Therefore, the memorized DTCs cannot be erased by
disconnecting the battery. Do the specified
procedures to clear the DTCs.
 Self-diagnosis can be classified into two categories: – Initial diagnosis: Done right after the ignition switch is turned to ON (II) and until the ABS indicator goes
off.
– Regular diagnosis: Done right after the initial diagnosis until the ignition switch is turned to
LOCK (0).
 When the system detects a problem, the ABS modulator-control unit shifts to fail-safe mode.
The pump motor operates when the ABS modulator-
control unit is functioning, and the fluid in the reservoir
is forced out to the master cylinder, causing kickback at
the brake pedal.  The pump motor operates when the ABS modulator- control unit is functioning.
 The ABS modulator-control unit checks the pump motor operation one time after completing initial
diagnosis during regular diagnosis when the vehicle
is driven over 15 km/h (10 mph).
Brake fluid replacement and air bleeding procedures
are identical to the procedures used on vehicles without
ABS (see page 19-9). The troubleshooting procedures assume that the cause
of the problem is still present, and the ABS indicator is
still on. Following a troubleshooting procedure for a
code that has been cleared but does not reset can result
in incorrect diagnosis.
1. Question the client about the conditions when the problem occurred, and try to reproduce the same
conditions for troubleshooting. Find out when the
ABS indicator came on, such as during activation,
after activation, when the vehicle was traveling at a
certainspeed,etc.Ifnecessary,havetheclient
demonstrate the concern.
2. When the ABS indicator does not come on during the test-drive, check for loose connectors, poor
contact of the terminals, etc. in the circuit indicated
by the DTC before you start troubleshooting.
3. After troubleshooting, or the repairs are done, clear the DTCs, and test-drive the vehicle under the same
conditions that originally set the DTCs. Make sure
the ABS indicator does not come on.
4. Check for DTCs from other systems which are connected via F-CAN. If there are DTCs that are
related to F-CAN, one possible cause was that the
ignition switch was turned to ON (II) with the ABS
modulator-control unit connector disconnected.
Clear the DTCs. Check for fuel and emissions DTC’s
first.
NOTE: Always troubleshoot fuel and emissions
DTC’s first.
The term ‘‘intermittent failure’’ means a system may
have had a failure, but it checks OK now. If you cannot
reproduce the condition, check for loose connectors or
terminal pins related to the circuit that you are
troubleshooting.
