(3) Using SST, connect terminals TS and CG of the
DLC3.
SST 09843-18040
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(5) 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 TS and CG terminal
circuit, ABS warning light circuit and/or VSC
warning light circuit.
8. MASTER CYLINDER PRESSURE SENSOR CHECK
(WHEN USING SST CHECK WIRE):
(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:
• At this time, the ABS warning light stays on for 3
seconds.
• While the ABS warning light stays on, continue to
depress the brake pedal with a force of 98N (10
kgf) or more.
• The ABS warning light comes on for 3 seconds
every time the brake pedal operation above is
performed.
• If master cylinder pressure sensor check can not
be completed, do not depress the brake pedal
frequently. It may further reduce negative
pressure and make the sensor check difficult to
complete.
• If the negative pressure is insufficient, master
cylinder pressure sensor check may not be
completed. In this case, idle the engine to get
enough negative pressure.
• If the brake pedal is depressed during engine
stop, negative pressure may become insufficient
and the BRL may come on. (It runs the motor
and performs incorrect control.)

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.

BRAKE CONTROL – VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEMBC–79
BC
• 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.

FREEZE FRAME DATA
1. FREEZE FRAME DATA
(a) The vehicle (sensor) status, stored during ABS and/
or VSC operation or at the time of an error code
detection, can be displayed by the intelligent tester.
(b) Only one record of freeze frame data is stored and
the freeze frame data generated during ABS and/or
VSC operation are updated whenever the vehicle
status is changed. Also, the number of the ignition
switch is ON after the freeze frame data is stored
can be stored up to 31 and it can be displayed. After
storing the DTC, the freeze frame data is not up-
dated.
HINT:
If the ignition switch "ON" operation exceeds 31
times, "31"appears on the display.
(c) If a malfunction occurs, the freeze frame data is
stored but the ABS actuation data is deleted.
