Diagnosis Procedure with Self-Diagnosis Function (Without CONSULT- I I )NGS000EL
DESCRIPTION
If a malfunction is detected in the system, the RAS warning lamp turns on and indicates the malfunction. At
that time, fail-safe activates, and then stops the function.
SELF-DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
1. Start engine.
2. Turn steering wheel left and right at 20
or more and 5 times or more within 10 seconds. And then depress
the service brake 5 times or more.
3. RAS warning lamp blinks (displays normal/malfunction).
SELF-DIAGNOSIS DISPLAY
RAS warning lamp blinks and displays the self-diagnostic results.
Only DTCs are displayed as the pattern shown in the figure, and
then repeat the display.
If all items are normal, RAS warning lamp blinks at 4 Hz cycle.
SELF-DIAGNOSIS DISPLAY ITEMS
HOW TO ERASE SELF-DIAGNOSIS
If there is the history data for when the fail-safe has activated in the past, erase the memory with CONSULT-II.
Refer to STC-29, "
How to Erase Self-Diagnostic Results" .
CAN CommunicationNGS000EM
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only. Refer to LAN-34, "
CAN
Communication Unit" .

Check battery terminals for looseness on both positive and negative ones and ground connection. Also make
sure that battery voltage does not drop.
BASIC INSPECTION 2: RAS WARNING LAMP INSPECTION
1. Make sure RAS warning lamp turns on when ignition switch is turned ON.
If it does not turn on, refer to STC-33, "Trouble Diagnosis Chart" .
2. Make sure that RAS warning lamp turns off when the engine is started after ignition switch is turned ON. If
it does not turn off, perform self-diagnosis. Refer to STC-28, "
SELF-DIAG RESULT MODE" .
3. Always erase DTC memory after completing self-diagnosis. Refer to STC-29, "
How to Erase Self-Diag-
nostic Results" .
BASIC INSPECTION 3: RAS CONTROL UNIT POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT AND GROUND CIR-
CUIT INSPECTION
1. CHECK RAS CONTROL UNIT CONNECTOR
Turn ignition switch OFF, disconnect RAS control unit harness connector, and check terminal for deformation,
disconnection, looseness, etc.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> Poor connection of connector terminal. Repair or replace the terminal.
2. CHECK RAS CONTROL UNIT GROUND CIRCUIT
1. Disconnect RAS control unit harness connector B127, and then
check continuity between RAS control unit harness connector
B127 and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> Ground circuit open or shorted. Repair or replace any
inoperative parts. Terminal 34 – Ground : Continuity
