SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONPFP:00000
System DiagramNFS000N3
FunctionsNFS000N4
VDC

In addition to the TCS/ABS function, the driver steering amount and brake operation amount are detected
from steering angle sensor and pressure sensor, and the vehicle's driving status (amount of under steer-
ing / over steering) is determined from information from G sensor, wheel sensor, etc., and this information
is used to improve vehicle stability by controlling the braking and engine power to all four wheels.

SLIP indicator lamp flashes to inform the driver of VDC operation.

During VDC operation, body and brake pedal lightly vibrate and mechanical noises may be heard. This is
normal.

ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp might turn on when vehicle is sub-
ject to strong shaking or large vibration, such as when vehicle is on a turn table, a ship or a steep slope
such as bank while engine is running. In this case, restart engine on a normal road, and if ABS warning
lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp turn off, there is no malfunction.
TCS

The wheel spin of the drive wheels is detected by ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) from the
wheel speed signals from four wheels, so if wheel spin occurs, drive wheel right and left brake fluid pres-
sure control and engine fuel cut are performed while throttle value is restricted to reduce the engine
torque and decrease the amount of wheel spin. In addition, the degree throttle is opened is controlled to
achieve the optimum engine torque.

Depending on road circumstances, the driver may have a sluggish feel. This is normal, because the opti-
mum traction has the highest priority under TCS operation.

TCS may be activated any time vehicle suddenly accelerates, suddenly down/upshifts, or is driven on a
road with a varying surface friction coefficient.

During TCS operation, it informs a driver of system operation by flashing SLIP indicator lamp.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR SYMPTOMS
Revision: 2006 July 2007 FX35/FX45
The Braking Distance is LongNFS000O0
CAUTION:
On slippery road surfaces, the stopping distance might be longer with the ABS operating than when
the ABS is not operating.
1. CHECK FUNCTION
Disconnect ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector E56 to deactivate ABS. In this condition,
check stopping distance. After inspection, connect connector.
OK or NG
OK >>
Bleed air from brake piping.

Check brake system.
NG >> GO TO 2. CHECK WHEEL SENSOR. Refer to BRC-53, "
Excessive ABS Function Operation Fre-
quency" .
The ABS Function Does Not OperateNFS000O1
CAUTION:
The ABS does not operate when the speed is 10 km/h (6 MPH) or less.
1. CHECK ABS WARNING LAMP DISPLAY
Make sure warning lamp turns off approximately 2 seconds after the ignition switch is turned ON or when driv-
ing.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2. CHECK WHEEL SENSOR. Refer to BRC-53, "Excessive ABS Function Operation Fre-
quency" .
NG >> Perform self-diagnosis. Refer to BRC-25, "
Self-Diagnosis" .
Pedal Vibration or ABS Operation Sound OccursNFS000O2
CAUTION:
Under the following conditions, when brake pedal is lightly depressed (just place a foot on it), ABS is
activated and vibration is felt. However, this is normal.

When shifting gears

When driving on slippery road

During cornering at high speed

When passing over bumps or grooves

When pulling away just after starting engine [at approximately 10 km/h (6 MPH) or higher]
1. SYMPTOM CHECK 1
Check if pedal vibration or operation sound occurs when engine is started.
OK or NG
OK >> Perform self-diagnosis. Refer to BRC-25, "Self-Diagnosis" .
NG >> GO TO 2.
2. SYMPTOM CHECK 2
Check symptom when electrical component (headlamps, etc.) switches are operated.
Does the symptom occur when the electrical component (head lamp, etc.) switches are operated?
YES >> Check if there is a radio, antenna, antenna lead wire, or wiring close to ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) (or its wiring), and if there is, move it farther away.
NO >> GO TO 2. CHECK WHEEL SENSOR. Refer to BRC-53, "
Excessive ABS Function Operation Fre-
quency" .

DTC P0327, P0328 KSPFP:22060
Component DescriptionNBS003Q1
The knock sensor (KS) is attached to the cylinder block. It senses
engine knocking using a piezoelectric element. A knocking vibration
from the cylinder block is sensed as vibrational pressure. This pres-
sure is converted into a voltage signal and sent to the ECM.
On Board Diagnosis LogicNBS003Q2
The MIL will not light up for these self-diagnoses.
DTC Confirmation ProcedureNBS003Q3
NOTE:
If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always turn ignition switch OFF and wait at
least 10 seconds before conducting the next test.
TESTING CONDITION:
Before performing the following procedure, confirm that battery voltage is more than 10V at idle.
WITH CONSULT-II
1. Turn ignition switch ON and select “DATA MONITOR” mode with CONSULT-II.
2. Start engine and run it for at least 5 seconds at idle speed.
3. If 1st trip DTC is detected, go to EC-357, "
Diagnostic Procedure"
.
WITH GST
Follow the procedure “WITH CONSULT-II” above.
