CONSULT-III Function (ABS)INFOID:0000000001686255
FUNCTION
CONSULT-III can display each diagnostic item us ing the diagnostic test modes shown following.
SELF-DIAG RESULTS MODE
Operation Procedure
1. Before performing the self-diagnosis, start engine and drive vehicle at 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more for
approximately 1 minute.
How to Erase Self-d iagnosis Results
1. After erasing DTC memory, start engine and drive vehicle at 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more for approximately
1 minute as the final inspection, and make sure that the ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp,
SLIP indicator lamp and brake warning lamp turn OFF.
CAUTION:
If memory cannot be erased, pe rform applicable diagnosis.
NOTE:
• When the wheel sensor malfunctions, after inspecting the wheel sensor system, the ABS warning lamp,
VDC OFF indicator lamp, SLIP indicator lamp and brake warning lamp will not turn OFF even when the
system is normal unless the vehicle is driving at approximately 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more for approxi-
mately 1 minute.
• Brake warning lamp will turn ON in case of parking brake operation (when switch is ON) or of brake fluid level switch operation (when brake fluid is insufficient).
• VDC OFF switch should not stay “ON” position.
Display Item List
Refer to BRC-100, "DTC No. Index".
DATA MONITOR MODE
Display Item List
Diagnostic test mode Function
Work support This mode enables a technician to adjust some devices faster and more accurately by following
the indications on CONSULT-III.
Self-diagnostic results Self-diagnostic results can be read and erased quickly.
Data monitor Input/Output data in the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) can be read.
Active test Diagnostic test mode is which CONSULT-III drives some actuators apart from the ABS actuator
and electric unit (control unit) and also shifts some parameters in a specified range.
ECU part number ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) part number can be read.
CAN diagnostic support monitor The results of transmit/receive diagnosis of CAN communication can be read.

ACTIVE TEST MODE
CAUTION:
• Do not perform active test while driving vehicle.
• Make sure to completely bleed air from brake system.
• The active test cannot be performed with the ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, SLIP indi-
cator lamp or brake warning lamp on.
• ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, SLIP indicator lamp and brake warning lamp are on
during active test.
NOTE:
• When active test is performed while depressing the pedal, the pedal depression amount will change. This is
normal. (Only solenoid valve and ABS motor.)
• “TEST IS STOPPED” is displayed 10 seconds after operation start.
• After “TEST IS STOPPED” is displayed, to perform test again, touch BACK.
Test Item
SOLENOID VALVE• When performing an active test of the ABS function, select the “MAIN SIGNALS” for each test item. In addi-
tion, when performing an active test of the VDC/TCS f unction, select the item menu for each test item.
• For ABS solenoid valve, touch “UP”, “KEEP”, and “D OWN” on the display screen. For ABS solenoid valve
(ACT), touch “UP”, “ACT UP”, “ACT KEEP” and confirm that solenoid valv es operate as shown in the table
below.
RELEASE SW NO –– ×Release switch signal (ON/OFF)
status is displayed. “ON” indicates
that the brake pedal is depressed.
“OFF”“ is that the brake pedal is re-
leased.

status is displayed. “OFF” indicates
that the brake pedal is depressed
on. “ON” is that the brake pedal is
released.
