CONSULT- II Functions (ABS)NFS00023
CONSULT-III MAIN FUNCTION
CONSULT-III can display each diagnostic item using the diagnostic test modes shown following.
Self-DiagnosisNFS000HD
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Before performing the self-diagnosis, start engine and drive vehicle at 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more for
approximately 1 minute.
HOW TO ERASE SELF-DIAGNOSIS RESULTS
1. After erasing DTC memory, start engine and drive vehicle at 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more for approximately
1 minute as the final inspection, and make sure that the ABS warning lamp and brake warning lamp turn
OFF.
CAUTION:
If memory cannot be erased, perform applicably diagnosis.

When the wheel sensor malfunctions, after inspecting the wheel sensor system, the ABS warning lamp
and brake warning lamp will not turn OFF even when the system is normal unless the vehicle is driving
at approximately 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more for approximately 1 minute.

Brake warning lamp will turn ON in case of parking brake operation (when switch is ON) or of brake
fluid level switch operation (when brake fluid is insufficient).

ABS warning lamp turns off while driving the vehicle at approximately 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more for approximately 1 minute according
to self-diagnosis procedure. In addition, if wheel sensor 2 is displayed for the wheels, check the wheel sensor circuit and also check the
control unit power voltage.

CAUTION:

Do not perform active test while driving.

Make sure to completely bleed air from the brake system.

The ABS and brake warning lamps turn on during the active test.
NOTE:

When the active test is conducted while depressing the pedal, the pedal depression amount will change,
but this is normal.

Approximately 10 seconds after the operation is begun, “TEST STOP” will be displayed.

Correct and Quick DiagnosisNFS00024
DIAGNOSIS PRECAUTIONS

Before performing the trouble diagnosis, always read the general information (GI) to confirm the general
precautions. Refer to GI-3, "
General Precautions" .

After completing service, always erase the self-diagnosis results. Refer to BRC-19, "HOW TO ERASE
SELF-DIAGNOSIS RESULTS" .

When inspection of the continuity or voltage between units is performed, check connector terminals for
disconnection, looseness, bend, or collapse. If any non-standard condition is detected, repair or replace
applicable part.

Intermittent errors may be caused by a poor connection in the harness, connector, or terminal. Move har-
nesses, harness connectors, or terminals by hand to make sure all connections are solid and undamaged.

If a circuit tester is used for the check, be careful not to forcibly extend any connector terminal.

ABS is a system that uses electronic control to perform brake control and engine power control. There-
fore, phenomena like those shown in the following table may occur, but this is because the system is
working normally.
ABS WARNING LAMP ON/OFF TIMING
×: ON –: OFF
Basic InspectionNFS00025
BRAKE FLUID AMOUNT, LEAKS, AND BRAKE PADS INSPECTION
1. Check fluid level in the brake reservoir tank. If fluid level is low, refill the brake fluid.
2. Check brake tubes or hoses and around ABS actuator for leaks. If there is leaking or oozing fluid, check
following items.

If ABS actuator connection is loose, tighten the piping to the specified torque and re-conduct the leak
inspection to make sure there are no leaks.

If there is damage to the connection flare nut or ABS actuator screw, replace the damaged part and re-
conduct the leak inspection to make sure there are no leaks.

When there is fluid leaking or oozing from a part other than ABS actuator connection, if the fluid is just
oozing out, use a clean cloth to wipe off the oozing fluid and re-check for leaks. If fluid is still oozing out,
replace the damaged part.

When there is fluid leaking or oozing at ABS actuator, if the fluid is just oozing out, use a clean cloth to
wipe off the oozing fluid and re-check for leaks. If fluid is still oozing out, replace ABS actuator body.
CAUTION:
ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) cannot be disassembled.
3. Check brake pad degree of wear. Refer to BR-26, "
PAD WEAR INSPECTION" in “Front Disc Brake” and
BR-39, "
PAD WEAR INSPECTION" in “Rear Disc Brake”.
Symptom Symptom description Result
Motor operation noiseThis is the sound of the motor operating inside ABS actuator, and there
may be some low sounds while the ABS is operating.
Normal
Just after the engine starts, the motor operating noise may be heard. This
is a normal status of the system operation check.
System operation check noiseWhen the engine is started, you may barely be able to hear a slight thud-
ding sound from the engine room, but this sound is made by the system
operation check and is normal.Normal

drives on rough or snow-covered roads. Use lower speeds when driving on
these kinds of roads.Normal

POWER SYSTEM TERMINAL LOOSENESS AND BATTERY INSPECTION
Make sure the battery positive cable, negative cable and ground connection are not loose. In addition, check
the battery voltage to make sure it has not dropped.
ABS WARNING LAMP INSPECTION
1. Make sure ABS warning lamp turned on approximately 1 second when the ignition switch is turned ON.
Check CAN communications. Refer to BRC-31, "
CAN Communication System" .
2. Make sure lamp turns off approximately 1 second after the ignition switch is turned on. If the lamp does
not turn off, conduct self-diagnosis.
3. Make sure ABS warning lamp turn off 2 seconds after the engine is started. If ABS warning lamp has not
turned off 10 seconds after the engine has been started, conduct self-diagnosis of the ABS actuator and
electric unit.
4. After conducting the self-diagnosis, be sure to erase the error memory. Refer to BRC-19, "
