BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM 5A-25
“ABS” Warning Lamp
W hen ABS and problems occur that actuate the “ABS”
warning lamp, the code corresponding to the problem is
stored in the EHCU. Only ordinary braking is available
when the ABS is deactivated. Even when the “ABS”
warning lamp is actuated, if the starter switch is set ON
after setting it OFF once, the EHCU checks up on the
entire system. If there is no abnormality, the EHCU
judges ABS to work correctly and the warning lamp is lit
normally, even though the problem code is stored.
NOTE: Illumination of the “ABS” warning lamp indicates
that anti-lock braking is no longer available. Power
assisted braking without anti-lock control is still
available.

Normal Operation
“ABS ” Warning Lamp
W hen the ignition is first moved from “OFF” to “RUN”,
the amber “ABS” warning lamp will turn “ON”. The
“ABS” warning lamp will turn “ON” during engine
starting and will usually stay “ON” for approximately
three seconds after the ignition switch is returned to the
“ON” position. The warning lamp should remain “OFF”
at all other times.

Brake (EBD) Warning Lamp


RTW 75ASH000101
Vehicles equipped with the EBD (Electronic Brake-force
Distribution) System have a “Brake” warning lamp on
the instrument panel.
If the ABS warning lamp and Brake warning lamp are
turned "ON", then EBD has failed. ( Parking brake
switch is "OFF")
In the following conditions, the EBD warning lamp is
"ON".
• Starter switch is "ON", engine "OFF". ( Parking brake switch is "OFF")
If engine is started, then EBD warning lamp is "OFF".
( Parking brake switch is "OFF")

2.18 Engine Oil Leak Diagnosis
Introduction
It is important to correctly identify the source of an engine oil leak. For example, a power steering fluid leak or spillage
during servicing can travel across the valley area of the engine and run-out the weep hole, which is located at the back of
the cylinder block. Failure to correctly identify the source of an engine oil leak can lead to unnecessary replacement of
engine components.
Most fluid leaks can be repaired by repairing or replacing the faulty component or resealing the gasket surface. However,
once a leak is identified it is important to determine and repair the cause as well as the leak itself.
Locating and Identifying the Leak
Inspect the leaking fluid and determine whether it is engine oil, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, brake fluid or
some other fluid. If unsure of the source of the leaking lubricant, a quick check of fluid levels should indicate where the
fluid is coming from, as one or more fluid level should be low.
Visual Inspection
Once the type of leaking fluid has been determined, a visual inspection of the affected system should be performed.
W hen performing the visual inspection:
1 Bring the vehicle to the normal operating temperature.
2 Park the vehicle over a large sheet of paper or other clean surface.
3 Leave the vehicle idling for 2-3 minutes, then check for dripping fluid.
4 If required, identify the type of fluid leaking and the approximate location of the leak.
5 Visually inspect the suspected area. A small mirror may assist viewing areas that are difficult to see normally.
6 Check for leaks at all sealing surfaces and fittings.
7 Check for any cracked or damaged components.
8 If the leak cannot be located, completely clean the entire engine and surrounding components, drive the vehicle at normal operating temperature for several kilometres and then repeat Steps 3 to 8.
9 If the leak still cannot be located, proceed with either the Powder Method or Black Light and Dye Method as outlined below.
Powder Method
1 Completely clean the entire engine and surrounding components.
2 Apply an aerosol type powder (e.g. foot powder) to the suspected area.
3 Operate the vehicle at normal operating temperature and at varying speeds for several kilometres.
4 Identify the source of the leak from the discoloration of the powder around the suspect components.
5 If required, use a small mirror to assist in viewing areas that are difficult to see normally.
6 Refer to Possible Causes for Engine Oil Leaks in this Section, and repair or replace components as required.
Black Light and Dye Method
A black light and die kit Tool No. J28428-E or a commercially available equivalent is available to technicians to aid in
engine oil leak diagnosis. W hen using a black light and die kit for the first time, it is recommended the technician read the
manufacturers instructions prior to using the kit.
1 Add the specified amount of dye, as per manufacturers instructions, into the engine or suspected source of the oil leak.
2 Operate the vehicle at normal operating temperature and at varying speeds for several kilometres.

Engine Management – V6 – General Information Page 6C1-1–12

Battery Voltage Correction Mode
The ECM monitors the battery voltage circuit to ensure the voltage available to the engine management system stays
within the specified range. A low system voltage changes the voltage across the fuel injectors, which affects the fuel
injector flow rate. In addition, a low system voltage fault condition may cause other engine management system
components to malfunction.
The ECM switches to battery voltage correction mode when the ECM detects a low battery voltage fault condition. W hile
in battery voltage correction mode, the ECM performs the following functions to compensate for the low system voltage:
• Increases the injector on-time to maintain the correct amount of fuel being delivered, and
• Increases the idle speed to increase the generator output.
Limp Mode
The programming in the ECM software allows the engine to run in a back-up fuel strategy or limp mode when the ECM
fails to receive signal inputs from critical sensors or when a critical engine management fault condition exists.
The ECM switches to limp mode to enable the vehicle to be driven until service operations can be performed.
Engine Protection Mode
Engine protection mode is engaged to protect engine components from friction damage in the event of an engine over-
temperature condition being detected by the ECM.
W hen the ECM is in engine protection mode, fuel injectors are systematically disabled and re-activated. The injectors
that have been shut down allow the air being drawn into the engine to assist with engine cooling.
Clear Flood Mode
If the engine is flooded with fuel during starting and will not start, the clear flood mode can be manually selected by
depressing the accelerator pedal to wide open throttle (W OT). In this mode, the ECM will completely disable the fuel
injectors, and will maintain this state during engine cranking as long as the ECM detects a W OT condition with engine
speed less than 1,000 rpm.
3.3 Ignition Control System
The electronic ignition system provides a spark to ignite the compressed air / fuel mixture at the correct time. The ECM
maintains correct spark timing and dwell for all engine operating conditions. The ECM calculates the optimum spark
parameters from information received from the various sensors and triggers the appropriate ignition module / coil to fire
the spark plug.
3.4 Starter Motor Operation
The engine control module controls the activation of the start relay in response to inputs from:
• Ignition switch,
• Battery,
• Immobiliser system, and
• Automatic transmission gear selector position / clutch pedal position switch for vehicles with manual transmissions.
3.5 Throttle Actuator Control System
Description
The throttle actuator control (TAC) system is used to improve emissions, fuel economy and driveability. The TAC system
eliminates the mechanical link between the accelerator pedal and the throttle plate and eliminates the need for a cruise
control module and idle air control motor. The TAC system comprises of:

The ECM applies control voltage to the control circuit of the ignition coil during the calculated dwell period that allows
current flow to the ignition coil primary winding to generate a magnetic flux field. At the appropriate firing point, the ECM
interrupts the control voltage applied to the ignition coil.
Interruption of voltage applied to the control circuit of the ignition coil primary winding induces the transfer of electrical
energy from the ignition coil primary winding to the ignition coil secondary winding, which triggers the ignition coil to
produce a spark at the spark plug.
An ignition coil control circuit DTC sets if the ECM detects a fault condition in the control circuit of an ignition coil.
Conditions for Running the DTC
