INTELLIGENT TESTER):
NOTICE:
• While obtaining the zero point, do not vibrate the
vehicle by tilting, moving or shaking it and keep it
in a stationary condition. (Do not turn the ignition
switch to the ON position.)
• Be sure to do this on a level surface (with an
inclination of less than 1 %).
(a) Procedures for test mode.

ahead position and move the shift lever to the P
position and apply the parking brake.
(2) Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(4) Set the intelligent tester to test mode (select
"TEST MODE").
HINT:
Refer to the intelligent tester operator's manual
for further details.
(b) Obtain the zero point of the yaw rate and
deceleration sensor.

once after the system enters the test mode.
• Calibration cannot be performed again until
the stored data is cleared once.
(c) Turn the ignition switch off and disconnect the
intelligent tester.

TEST MODE PROCEDURE
1. WARNING LIGHT AND INDICATOR LIGHT BULB
CHECK
(a) Check the warning lights.
(1) Release parking brake pedal.
(2) When the ignition switch is turned to the ON
position, check that the ABS warning light,
BRAKE warning light, VSC warning light, TRAC
OFF indicator light (2WD) and SLIP indicator
light stay on for approx. 3 seconds.
HINT:
• When the parking brake is applied or the level
of brake fluid is low, the BRAKE warning light
comes on.
• If the ECU has any stored DTCs, the ABS
warning light, VSC warning light and TRAC
OFF indicator light (2WD) comes on.
• If the indicator does not come on, inspect it
the bulb is blown out, and also the wire
harness between the skid control ECU and
the combination meter.
• If the indicator remains on, proceed to
troubleshooting for the light circuit below.
2. SENSOR SIGNAL CHECK BY TEST MODE (SIGNAL
CHECK) (WHEN USING INTELLIGENT TESTER):
(a) When having replaced the skid control ECU and/or
yaw rate and deceleration sensor, perform zero
point calibration of the yaw rate and deceleration
sensor.
HINT:
• If the ignition switch is turned from the ON
position to the ACC or off during test mode
(signal check), DTCs of the signal check function
will be erased.
• During test mode (signal check), the skid control
ECU records all DTCs of the signal check
function. By performing the test mode (signal
check), the codes are erased if normality is
confirmed. The remaining codes are the codes
where an abnormality was found.

(b) Procedures for test mode.
(1) Turn the ignition switch off.
(2) Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
(3) Check that the steering wheel is in the straight
ahead position and move the shift lever to the P
position.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(5) Set the intelligent tester to test mode (select
"SIGNAL CHECK").
HINT:
Refer to the intelligent tester operator's manual
for further details.
(6) Check that the ABS warning light and VSC
warning light blink (test mode).
HINT:
If the ABS warning light and VSC warning light
do not blink, inspect the ABS warning light circuit
and/or VSC warning light circuit.
3. MASTER CYLINDER PRESSURE SENSOR CHECK
(WHEN USING INTELLIGENT TESTER):
(a) Leave the vehicle in a stationary condition and
release the brake pedal for 1 second or more, and
quickly depress the brake pedal with a force of 98 N
(10 kgf, 22 lbf) or more for 1 second or more.
(b) Check the ABS warning light stays on for 3
seconds.
HINT:
• Ensure that the ABS warning light comes on.
• While the ABS warning light stays on, continue to
depress the brake pedal with a force of 98 N (10
kgf, 22 lbf) or more.
• The ABS warning light comes on for 3 seconds
every time brake pedal operation above is
performed.

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.
