4. SPEED SENSOR CHECK (WHEN USING
INTELLIGENT TESTER):
(a) Check the backward signal.
(1) Drive the vehicle in reverse for more than 1
second at 3 km/h (2 mph) or higher.
HINT:
Drive the vehicle in reverse and check the speed
sensor signal. Note that the signal check cannot
be completed if the vehicle speed is 45 km/h (28
mph) or more.
(b) Check the forward signal.
(1) Drive the vehicle straight forward. Drive the
vehicle at a speed of 45 km/h (28 mph) or higher
for several seconds and check that the ABS
warning light goes off.
HINT:
The signal check may not be completed if the
vehicle has its wheels spun or the steering
wheel turned during this check.
(c) Stop the vehicle.
5. YAW RATE SENSOR CHECK (WHEN USING
INTELLIGENT TESTER):
(a) Check the output of the yaw rate sensor.
(1) Move the shift lever to the D position, drive the
vehicle at a speed of approximately 5 km/h (3
mph), and turn the steering wheel either to the
left or right 90
or more until the vehicle makes a
180
turn.
(2) Stop the vehicle and move the shift lever to the P
position. Check that the skid control buzzer
sounds for 3 seconds.
HINT:
• If the skid control buzzer sounds, the signal
check is completed normally.
• If the skid control buzzer does not sound,
check the skid control buzzer circuit, then
perform the signal check again.
• If the skid control buzzer does not sound yet,
there is a malfunction in the VSC sensor, so
check the DTC.
• Make 180
turn. At the end of the turn, the
direction of the vehicle should be within 180
+- 5
of its start position.
• Do not spin the wheels.

9. SPEED SENSOR CHECK (WHEN USING SST CHECK
WIRE):
(a) Check the speed sensor signal.
(1) Drive the vehicle straight forward. Drive the
vehicle at a speed of 45 km/h (28 mph) or higher
for several seconds and check that the ABS
warning light goes off.
HINT:
The signal check may not be completed if the
vehicle has its wheels spun or the steering
wheel turned during this check.
(b) Stop the vehicle.
NOTICE:
• Before performing the speed sensor signal
check, complete the deceleration sensor and
master cylinder pressure sensor checks.
• The speed sensor signal check may not be
completed if the speed sensor signal check is
started while turning the steering wheel or
spinning the wheels.
• After the ABS warning light goes off, if
vehicle speed exceeds 80 km/h (50 mph), a
signal check code will be stored again.
Decelerate or stop the vehicle before the
speed reaches 80 km/h (50 mph).
• If the signal check has not been completed,
the ABS warning light blinks while driving
and the ABS system does not operate.
HINT:
When the signal check has been completed, the
ABS warning light goes off while driving and blinks
in the test mode pattern while stationary.
10. YAW RATE SENSOR CHECK (WHEN USING SST
CHECK WIRE):
(a) Check the zero point voltage of the yaw rate sensor.
(1) Keep the vehicle in a stationary condition on a
level surface for 1 second or more.
(b) Check the output of the yaw rate sensor.
(1) Move the shift lever to the D position, drive the
vehicle at a speed of approximately 3 mph (5
km/h), and turn the steering wheel either to the
left or right 90
or more until the vehicle makes
180
turn.
(2) Stop the vehicle and move the shift lever to the
position. Check that the skid control buzzer
sounds for 3 seconds.
HINT:
• If the skid control buzzer sounds, the signal
check is completed normally.
• If the skid control buzzer does not sound,
check the skid control buzzer circuit, then
perform the signal check again.

• If the skid control buzzer does not sound yet,
there is a malfunction in the yaw rate sensor,
so check the DTC.
• Make a 180
turn. At the end of the turn, the
direction of the vehicle should be within 180
+- 5
of its start position.
• Do not spin the wheels.
