Step Check Yes No
1CHECK POOR CONTACT OF CONNECTOR.
Check if there is poor contact between
VDCCM&H/U and ABS wheel speed sensor.
Is there poor contact? Repair the con-
nector.
Go to step 2.
2CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN
VDCCM&H/U AND ABS WHEEL SPEED
SENSOR.
1) Disconnect the connector (B310) from the
VDCCM&H/U.
2) Disconnect the connector from ABS wheel
speed sensor.
3) Measure the resistance between
VDCCM&H/U connector and ABS wheel
speed sensor connector.

Go to step 3.Repair the har-
ness connector
between
VDCCM&H/U and
ABS wheel speed
sensor.
3CHECK GROUND SHORT OF HARNESS.

Go to step 4.Repair the har-
ness connector
between
VDCCM&H/U and
ABS wheel speed
sensor.
4CHECK ABS WHEEL SPEED SENSOR POW-
ER SUPPLY CIRCUIT.
1) Connect the VDCCM&H/U connector.
2) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
3) Measure the voltage between ABS wheel
speed sensor connector and chassis ground.

5CHECK THE VDCCM&H/U POWER SUPPLY
CIRCUIT.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the VDCCM&H/U connector.
3) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
4) Measure the voltage between VDCCM&H/
U connector terminals.
Connector & terminal
(B310) No. 1 (+) — (B310) No. 43 (–):
Is the voltage 10 — 15 V? Go to step 7.Check the genera-
tor, batter y and
VDCCM&H/U
power supply cir-
cuit.
6CHECK ABS WHEEL SPEED SENSOR SIG-
NAL.
1) Install the ABS wheel speed sensor.
2) Prepare an oscilloscope.
3) Check the ABS wheel speed sensor. to VDC-22, ABS WHEEL SPEED SENSOR,
INSPECTION, Front ABS Wheel Speed Sen-
sor.>
Is the pattern the same wave-
for m as shown in the figure?
Go to step 7.Replace the ABS
wheel speed sen-
sor.
7CHECK THE VDCCM&H/U.
1) Connect all the connectors.
2) Erase the memory.
3) Perform the inspection mode. VDC(diag)-23, PROCEDURE, Inspection
Mode.>
4) Read the DTC.
Is the same DTC displayed? Replace the
VDCCM&H/U.
VDC Control Mod-
ule & Hydraulic
Control Unit

Go to step 8.
8CHECK OTHER DTC DETECTION.Is any other DTC displayed? Perform the diag-
nosis according to
DTC.
It results from a
temporary noise
interference.
Step Check Yes No
