2. PERFORM ZERO POINT CALIBRATION OF YAW
RATE AND DECELERATION SENSOR (WHEN USING
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").

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

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.

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.
