CONSULT-III Functions (ABS)NFS0004A
CONSULT-III MAIN FUNCTION
CONSULT-III can display each diagnostic item using the diagnostic test modes shown following.
Self-DiagnosisNFS000HK
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, VDC OFF indicator lamp,
SLIP indicator 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,
VDC OFF indicator lamp, SLIP indicator 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 approxi-
mately 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).

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.
TEST ITEM
Solenoid valve
CAUTION:
The example shown is for the front right wheel. The procedure for the other wheels is the same as
given below.

When conducting an active test of the ABS function, select the main item for each test item. In addition,
when conducting an active test of the VDC/TCS function, select the item menu for each test item.

For the ABS solenoid valve, touch “UP”, “KEEP”, “DOWN” on the display screen. For the ABS solenoid
valve (ACT), touch “UP”, “ACT UP”, “ACT KEEP” and confirm that the solenoid valves (IN, OUT, USV,
HSV) operate as shown in the table below.

DIAGNOSIS PRECAUTIONS

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

When replacing steering angle sensor, steering system components or suspension system components,
and when adjusting the alignment, be sure to adjust the steering angle sensor neutral position before driv-
ing. Refer to BRC-79, "
Adjustment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral Position" .

After completing service, always erase the self-diagnosis results. Refer to BRC-96, "HOW TO ERASE
