DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
1. DIAGNOSIS
If the skid control ECU detects a malfunction, the ABS,
VSC and brake warning lights and the slip, downhill
assist control and AUTO LSD indicator lights come on in
accordance with the trouble area to warn the driver.
The table below indicates which lights come on when
there are malfunctions in particular functions.
: Light ON
: Light ON (Blinking)
-: Light OFF

• *4: w/ 16-inch disc
• The DTCs can be read by connecting SST (09843-
18040) between the TC and CG terminals of the
DLC3 and observing the blinking pattern of the ABS
and VSC warning lights, or by using an intelligent
tester (see page BC-47).
• This system has a sensor signal check function (see
page BC-28).
2. CHECK WARNING LIGHT AND INDICATOR LIGHT
(a) Release the parking brake lever.
NOTICE:
Before releasing the parking brake lever, set
chocks to hold the vehicle for safety.
HINT:
When the parking brake is applied or the brake fluid
level is low, the brake warning light comes on.
(b) When the ignition switch is turned ON, check that
the ABS, VSC and brake warning lights and the slip,
downhill assist control and AUTO LSD indicator
lights come on and go off in about 3 seconds.
HINT:
If the warning lights do not illuminate, confirm
whether the bulbs have burned out, and also check
for CAN communication system DTCs, since the
skid control ECU and combination meter are
connected by the CAN communication line.
If the warning light remains on, perform relevant
troubleshooting procedures. The relevant
troubleshooting procedures are in the sections listed
in the table below.

DTC CHECK / CLEAR
1. CHECK DTC (When Using Intelligent Tester)
(a) Connect the intelligent tester (with CAN VIM) to the
DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(c) Turn the tester on.
(d) Read the DTCs by following the prompts on the
tester screen.
HINT:
Refer to the intelligent tester operator's manual for
further details.
2. CLEAR DTC (When Using Intelligent Tester)
(a) Connect the intelligent tester (with CAN VIM) to the
DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(c) Turn the tester on.
(d) Operate the intelligent tester to clear the codes.
HINT:
Refer to the intelligent tester operator's manual for
further details.
3. CHECK DTC (When not Using Intelligent Tester)
(a) Using SST, connect terminals 13 (TC) and 4 (CG) of
the DLC3.
SST 09843-18040
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(c) Read DTCs from the ABS warning light on the
combination meter.
HINT:
• If the ABS warning light does not blink, perform
relevant troubleshooting procedures. The
relevant troubleshooting procedures are in the
sections listed in the table below.

• As an example, the blinking patterns of the
normal system code and DTCs 11 and 21 are
shown below.
• DTCs are explained in the "DIAGNOSTIC
TROUBLE CODE CHART" (see page BC-57).
(d) After completing the check, disconnect SST from
terminals 13 (TC) and 4 (CG) of the DLC3, and turn
the ignition switch OFF.
HINT:
• If 2 or more malfunctions are detected at the
same time, the lowest numbered DTC is
displayed first.
4. CLEAR DTC (When not Using Intelligent Tester)
(a) Using SST, connect terminals 13 (TC) and 4 (CG) of
the DLC3.
SST 09843-18040
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON.

(c) Clear the DTCs stored in the skid control ECU by
depressing the brake pedal 8 times or more within 5
seconds.
(d) Check that the ABS and VSC warning lights come
on.
(e) Remove SST from the terminals of the DLC3.
(f) Turn the ignition switch OFF.
HINT:
Clearing the DTCs cannot be performed by
removing the cable from the negative (-) battery
terminal or the ECU-IG1 fuse.
5. END OF DTC CHECK/CLEAR
(a) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(b) Check that the ABS and VSC warning lights go off
within approximately 3 seconds.
(c) Turn the ignition switch OFF.

FAIL-SAFE CHART
1. FAIL SAFE OPERATION
• If there is a problem with any sensor signals or
actuator systems, the skid control ECU prohibits the
power supply to the ABS and TRACTION actuator
and informs the ECM of VSC system failure.
The ABS and TRACTION actuator turns off the
solenoids and the ECM s huts off VSC control (traction
control signal) from the skid control ECU accordingly,
the result being that it is as if the ABS, TRC and VSC
systems were not installed.
• ABS control is prohibited, but EBD control continues
as far as possible. If EBD control is impossible, the
BRAKE warning light comes on to warn the driver
(see page BC-44).
• If system components have any malfunctions before
starting control, the operation stops immediately. If
system components have any malfunctions during
control, the control stops gradually so as not to trigger
a sudden change in vehicle conditions.
If it is impossible to control the systems, the warning
light comes on to inform the driver of malfunctions in
the systems (see page BC-44).
HINT:
• If the ABS system malfunctions, the brake system
operates normally without the ABS system.
• If the brake actuator malfunctions, a gradual loss of
brake performance is expected, and ABS system
control is prohibited.

DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST
1. READ DATA LIST
HINT:
Using the intelligent tester's DATA LIST allows switch,
sensor, actuator and other item values to be read without
out removing any parts. Reading the DATA LIST early in
troubleshooting is one way to save time.
(a) Connect the intelligent tester (with CAN VIM) to the
DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(c) Turn the intelligent tester on.
(d) Read the DATA LIST according to the display on the
tester.
