(4) Check that the brake warning light goes off when
quickly releasing the brake pedal. (The lost
booster pressure state is judged normal.)
(5) Leave the vehicle for 1 second or more. (Master
cylinder pressure sensor zero point calibration.)
NOTICE:
• If you slowly depress the brake pedal or
depress it again, master cylinder pressure
sensor zero point calibration is not
performed normally.
• If the lost booster pressure judgment
check is not completed normally, the
master cylinder pressure sensor check is
not judged.
• If a recheck is performed after the engine
has started, end the Test Mode, enter Test
Mode again, and release the vacuum in
the booster by pumping the brake pedal
prior to the recheck.
(c) Check the deceleration sensor.
(1) Keep the vehicle stationary on a level surface for
1 second or more.
HINT:
The deceleration sensor check can be
performed together with the following master
cylinder pressure sensor check.
(d) Check the master cylinder pressure sensor.
(1) Leave the vehicle in a stationary condition and
release the brake pedal for 1 second or more,
and quickly depress the brake pedal with a force
of 98 N (10 kgf, 22 lbf) or more for 1 second.
Check that the ABS warning light remains
illuminated for 3 seconds.
HINT:
• Ensure that the ABS warning light comes on.
• While the ABS warning light remains
illuminated, continue depressing the brake
pedal with a force of 98 N (10 kgf, 22 lbf) or
more.
• The ABS warning light comes on for 3
seconds every time the brake pedal operation
above is performed.
(e) Check the speed sensor.
(1) Check that the ABS warning light is blinking as
shown in the illustration.
(2) Check the speed sensor signal.
1. Drive the vehicle straight forward at a speed
of 45 km/h (28 mph) or more for several
seconds.

2. Check that the ABS warning light goes off.
NOTICE:
• The speed sensor check may not be
completed if the sensor check is
started with the steering wheel turned
or one or more wheels spinning.
• If the speed sensor check is
commenced while the steering wheel is
turned, the ABS warning light may
come on after the low speed check is
finished.
• The ABS warning light comes on
immediately when an abnormality is
detected.
• When the speed sensor signal is
normal, the ABS warning light goes off
while driving at 45 km/h (28 mph) or
more, and blinks in the test mode
pattern while the vehicle is stationary.
• Do not drive the vehicle at a speed of 80
km/h (50 mph) or more after the ABS
warning light turns off, because test
mode DTCs are set again when the
vehicle speed exceeds 80 km/h (50
mph).
3. Stop the vehicle.

(h) w/ Auto LSD only:
Check the end of the sensor.
(1) When the sensor check is successfully
completed, the ABS warning light blinks in the
test mode pattern when the vehicle is stopped,
and goes off when the vehicle is driven.
NOTICE:
If the sensor check is not completed, the
ABS warning light blinks even while the
vehicle is driving and the ABS does not
operate.
(i) Read the DTCs of the signal check function.
(1) Using SST, connect terminals 13 (TC) and 4
(CG) of the DLC3.
SST 09843-18040
(2) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(3) Count the number of blinks of the ABS and VSC
warning light.
HINT:
As an example, the blinking patters of DTCs 71
and 74 are shown below.
NOTICE:
• If only DTCs are displayed, repair the
malfunctioning area and clear the DTCs.
• If the DTCs or test mode codes (DTC of
signal check function) are displayed,
repair the malfunctioning area, clear the
DTCs and perform the test mode
inspection.)
HINT:
• If more than 1 malfunction is detected at the
same time, the lowest numbered code will be
displayed first.
• See the list of DTCs (refer to "DTC OF TEST
MODE FUNCTION (SIGNAL CHECK)"
below).

• If all sensors are normal, a normal system
code is output (the light comes on for 0.25
seconds at intervals of 0.25 seconds).
(4) After the check, disconnect SST from terminals
13 (TC) and 4 (CG) of the DLC3.
(5) Turn the ignition switch 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.

FREEZE FRAME DATA
1. FREEZE FRAME DATA
HINT:
• Whenever a DTC is detected or the ABS operates,
the skid control ECU stores the current vehicle
(sensor) state as freeze frame data.
• The skid control ECU stores the number of times
(maximum: 31) the ignition switch has been turned
from OFF to ON since the last time the ABS was
activated. However, if the vehicle was stationary or
running at a low speed (7 km/h [4.3 mph] or less), or if
a DTC is detected, the skid control ECU stops
counting.
• Freeze frame data at the time the ABS operates:
The skid control ECU stores and updates the data
whenever the ABS system operates.
When the ECU stores data at the time a DTC is
detected, the data stored when the ABS operated is
erased.
• Freeze frame data at the time a DTC is detected:
When the skid control ECU stores data at the time a
DTC is detected, no updates will be performed until
the data is cleared.
(a) Connect the intelligent tester (with CAN VIM) to the
DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(c) Turn the tester on.
(d) From the display on the tester, select "FREEZE
FRAME DATA".
