Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points.
NOTES WITH REGARD TO DIAGNOSIS
1. The phenomena listed in the following table are not abnormal.
PhenomenonExplanation of phenomenon
System check soundWhen starting the engine, a thudding sound can sometimes be heard coming from inside
the engine compartment, but this is because the system operation check is being
performed, and is not an abnormality.
ABS operation sound1. Sound of the motor inside the ABS hydraulic unit operation. (whine)
2. Sound is the generated along with vibration of the brake pedal. (scraping)
3. When ABS operates, sound is generated from the vehicle chassis due to repeated
brake application and release.
(Thump: suspension; squeak: tyres)
System check soundWhen depressing the brake pedal during driving, a shock is sometime felt.
2. For road surfaces such as snow-covered roads and gravel roads, the braking distance for vehicles
with ABS can sometimes be longer than that for other vehicles. Accordingly, advise the customer
to drive safely on such roads by lowering the vehicle speed and not being too overconfident.
3. Diagnosis detection condition can vary depending on the diagnosis code.
Make sure that checking requirements listed in the “Comment” are satisfied when checking the trouble
symptom again.

ABS <4WD> -Troubleshooting35B-5
ABS WARNING LAMP INSPECTION
Check that the ABS warning lamp illuminates as follows.
1. When the ignition key is turned to “ON”, the ABS warning
lamp illuminates for approximately 3 seconds and then
switches off.
2. When the ignition key is turned to “START”, the ABS
warning lamp remains illuminated.
3. When the ignition key is turned from “START” back to
“ON”, the ABS warning lamp illuminates for approximately
3 seconds and then switches off.
NOTE
The ABS warning lamp may remain on until the vehicle
reaches a speed of several km/h. This is limited to cases
where diagnosis code Nos.21 to 24, 41 to 44, 53 or 55
have been recorded because of a previous problem
occurring. In this case, the ABS-ECU keeps the warning
lamp illuminated until the problem corresponding to that
diagnosis code can be detected.
4. If the illumination is other than the above, check the
diagnosis codes.
DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
READING DIAGNOSIS CODES
Read a diagnosis code by the MUT-IIor ABS warning lamp.
(Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection
Service Points.)
NOTE
Connect the MUT-IIto the diagnosis connector (16-pin).
ERASING DIAGNOSIS CODES
When using the MUT-II
Connect the MUT-IIto the diagnosis connector (16-pin) and
erase the diagnosis code.
Caution
Turn the ignition key to the “LOCK” (OFF) position before
connecting or disconnecting the MUT-II.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE FOR DIAGNOSIS CODES

(open circuit or short circuit)Probable cause
Code Nos.21, 22, 23 and 24 Wheel speed sensor
Code Nos. 11, 12, 13 and 14 are output if the ABS-ECU detects an open circuit
or short-circuit in the (+) wire or ( - ) wire in any one of the four wheel speed sensors.DMalfunction of wheel speed sensor
DMalfunction of wiring harness or connector
DMalfunction of hydraulic unit and ABS-ECU
Code Nos. 21, 22, 23 and 24 are output in the following cases.
DWhen there is no input from any one of the four wheel speed sensors when travelling
at several km/h or more, even though open circuit can not be verified.
DWhen a chipped or blocked-up ABS rotor is detected and if the anti-lock system
operates continuously because a malfunctioning sensor or a warped ABS rotor
is causing sensor output to drop.DMalfunction of wheel speed sensor

Faulty ABS operation735B-21
Caution
1. If steering movements are made when driving at high speed, or when driving on road surfaces
with low frictional resistance, or when passing over bumps, the ABS may operate even though
sudden braking is not being applied. Because of this, when getting information from the customer,
check if the problem occurred while driving under such conditions as these.
2. During ABS operation, the brake pedal may vibrate or may not be able to be depressed. Such
phenomena are due to intermittent changes in hydraulic pressure inside the brake line to prevent
the wheels from locking and is not an abnormality.

Inspection Procedure 5
In the inspection by MUT-II service data, the parking brake
switch is not turned ON or turn OFF.
Probable cause
ABS-ECU optimizes the ABS control when pulling the parking brake lever, parking
brake switch signal is used as support. If there is a fault in the parking brake switch
system, ABS control is not optimized.DMalfunction of parking brake switch
