(f) Check that the ABS warning light is blinking in the
Test Mode.
HINT:
If the ABS warning light does not blink, inspect the
TS and CG terminal circuit and the ABS warning
light circuit.
(g) Start the engine.
(h) Using the intelligent tester, perform the speed
sensor signal check in Test Mode.
(i) Drive the vehicle straight forward.
(j) Accelerate the vehicle to a speed of 28 mph (45 km/
h) or higher for several seconds and check that the
ABS warning light goes off.

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.

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.

(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:

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.
