 Stopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles without ABS when vehicle drives on rough, gravel, or
snow-covered (fresh, deep snow) roads.
EBD
 The Electronic Brake Distribution is a function that detects subtle slippages between front and rear wheels
during braking, and it improves handling stability by elec tronically controlling the brake fluid pressure which
results in reduced rear wheel slippage.
 In case of electrical system malfunction, the fail- safe function is activated, EBD and ABS becomes inopera-
tive, and ABS warning lamp and brake warning lamp are turned on.
 Electrical system diagnosis by CONSULT-III is available.
 During EBD operation, brake pedal lightly vibrates and a mechanical noise may be heard. This is normal.
 When starting engine, or just after starting vehicle, brake pedal may vibrate or motor operating noises may
be heard from engine compartment. This is a normal status of operation check.
 Stopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles without EBD when vehicle drives on rough, gravel, or
snow-covered (fresh, deep snow) roads.
Fail-Safe FunctionINFOID:0000000001327662
VDC / TCS SYSTEM
In case of malfunction in the VDC/TCS system, VDC O FF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp are turned
on, and the condition of vehicle is the same as the c ondition of vehicles without VDC/TCS system. In case of
malfunction in the VDC/TCS system, the ABS control c ontinues to operate normally without VDC/TCS control.
CAUTION:
If the fail-safe function is acti vated, then perform the self-diagnos is for VDC/TCS/ABS control system.
ABS, EBD SYSTEM
In case of electrical malfunctions with the ABS, ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indica-
tor lamp will turn on. In case of electrical malfunc tions with the EBD, brake warning lamp, ABS warning lamp,
VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp wil l turn on. Simultaneously, the VDC/TCS/ABS become one
of the following conditions of the fail-safe function.
 For malfunction of ABS, only the EBD is activated and t he condition of vehicle is the same condition of vehi-
cles without TCS/ABS system.
NOTE:
ABS self-diagnosis sound may be heard. That is a no rmal condition because a self-diagnosis for “Ignition
switch ON” and “The first starting” are being performed.
 For malfunction of EBD, EBD and ABS become inoperative, and the condition of vehicle is the same as the
condition of vehicles wit hout TCS/ABS, EBD system.

How to Proceed with DiagnosisINFOID:0000000001327666
BASIC CONCEPT
 Most important point to perform diagnosis is to unders tand systems (control and mechanism) in vehicle thor-
oughly.
 It is also important to clarify customer complaints before inspec- tion.
First of all, reproduce symptom, and understand it fully.
Ask customer about his/her complaints carefully. In some cases, it
will be necessary to check symptom by driving vehicle with cus-
tomer.
NOTE:
Customers are not professionals. Do not assume “maybe cus-
tomer means...” or “maybe customer mentioned this symptom”.
 It is essential to check symptoms right from beginning in order to repair a malfunction completely.
For an intermittent malfunction, it is important to reproduce symp-
tom based on interview with customer and past examples. Do not
perform inspection on ad hoc basis. Most intermittent malfunctions
are caused by poor contacts. In this case, it will be effective to
shake suspected harness or connector by hand. When repairs are
performed without any symptom check, no one can judge if mal-
function has actually been eliminated.
 After diagnosis, make sure to perform “erase memory”. Refer to BRC-26, "
Self-Diagnosis".
 For an intermittent malfunction, move harness or harness connec- tor by hand to check poor contact or false open circuit.
 Always read “GI General Information” to confirm general precautions. Refer to GI-3, "
General Precaution".

PRECAUTIONS FOR DIAGNOSIS
 Before performing diagnosis, always read precautions. Refer to BRC-13, "How to Proceed with Diagnosis".
 If ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit), steer ing angle sensor, steering system parts or suspension
system parts have been replaced, or if alignment has been adjusted, be sure to adjust neutral position of
steering angle sensor before driving. Refer to BRC-8, "
Adjustment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral Posi-
tion".
 After diagnosis is finished, be sure to erase memory. Refer to BRC-26, "
Self-Diagnosis".
 When checking continuity and voltage between units, be sure to check for disconnection, looseness, bend,
or collapse of connector terminals. If any malfuncti on is found, repair or replace connector terminals.
 For intermittent symptoms, possible cause is malfunc tion in harness, harness connector, or terminals. Move
harness, harness connector, and terminals to check for poor connections.
 If a circuit tester is used for the check, be ca reful not to forcibly extend any connector terminal.
 To use CONSULT-III to perform self-diagnosis of ABS act uator and electric unit (control unit), active tests, or
work support, first stop work, then connect CONSULT-III and select “ABS”.
 While self-diagnostic results of CONSULT-III shows malf unction, if CONSULT-III active test is performed, an
engine system error may be indicated. In this case, start engine to resume the normal screen.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Basic Inspection
INFOID:0000000001327676
BRAKE FLUID AMOUNT, LEAKS, AND BRAKE PADS INSPECTION
1. Check fluid level in the brake reservoir tank. If fluid level is low, refill brake fluid.
2. Check brake piping and around ABS actuator and electric uni t (control unit) for leaks. If there is leaking or
oozing fluid, check the following items.
 If ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connec tion is loose, tighten piping to the specified torque
and re-perform the leak inspection to make sure there are no leaks.
 If there is damage to the connection flare nut or AB S actuator and electric unit (control unit) screw,
replace the damaged part and re-perform the leak inspection to make sure there are no leaks.
 When there is fluid leaking or oozing from a part other than ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit)
connection, if fluid is just oozing out, use a clean cl oth to wipe off the oozing fluid and re-check for leaks.
If fluid is still oozing out, replace the damaged part.
 When there is fluid leaking or oozing at ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit), if fluid is just oozing
out, use a clean cloth to wipe off oozing fluid and re-che ck for leaks. If fluid is still oozing out, replace
ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) body.
CAUTION:
ABS actuator and electric unit (contr ol unit) body can not be disassembled.
3. Check brake pad degree of wear. Refer to BR-18, "
On-Vehicle Inspection" in “Front Disc Brake” and BR-
24, "On-Vehicle Inspection" in “Rear Disc Brake”
POWER SYSTEM TERMINAL LOOSENESS AND BATTERY INSPECTION
Make sure battery positive cable, negative cabl e and ground connection are not loose. If looseness is
detected, tighten the cables. In additi on, check the battery voltage to make sure it has not dropped and alter-
nator is normal.
ABS WARNING LAMP, VDC OFF INDICATOR LAMP, SLIP INDICATOR LAMP AND BRAKE WARN-
ING LAMP INSPECTION
Symptom Symptom description Result
Motor operation noise This is noise of motor in
side ABS actuator and electr ic unit (control unit).
Slight noise may occur during VDC, TCS, and ABS operation.
Normal
When the vehicle speed goes over 20 km/h (12.5 MPH), motor and valves
operating noise may be heard. It happens only once after ignition switch is
ON. This is a normal status of the system operation check.
System operation check noise When engine starts, slight “click” noise may be heard from engine room.
This is normal and is part of system operation check. Normal
VDC/TCS operation
(SLIP indicator lamp blinking) TCS may activate momentarily if wheel speed changes when driving over
location where friction coefficient varies, when up/downshifting, or when ful-
ly depressing accelerator pedal.
Normal
Cancel the VDC/TCS
function for the inspec-
tion on a chassis dyna-
mometer.
For inspection of speedometer or other instruments, press VDC OFF switch
to turn VDC/TCS function off.
When accelerator pedal is depressed on a chassis dynamometer (fixed
front-wheel type), vehicle speed will not increase. This is not normal. It is re-
sult of TCS being activated by stationary front wheels. Warning lamp may
also illuminate to indicate “sensor system error”. This is also normal, and is
the result of the stationary front wheels being detected. To be certain, restart
engine, and drive vehicle at 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more. Make sure warning
lamp does not illuminate.
ABS operation
(Longer stopping distance) On roads with low friction coefficients, such as snowy roads or gravel roads,
vehicles with ABS may require a longer stopping distance. Therefore, when
driving on such roads, avoid overconfidence and keep speed sufficiently
low.
Normal
Insufficient feeling of accelera-
tion Depending on road conditions, driver may feel that feeling of acceleration is
insufficient. This is because traction control, which controls engine and
brakes to achieve optimal traction, has the highest priority (for safety). As a
result, there may be times when acceleration is slightly less than usual for
the same accelerator pedal operation.
