Step Check Yes No
1CHECK TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
CONTROL MODULE.
1) Connect an oscilloscope to the terminal No.
4 of the tire pressure monitoring control mod-
ule connector (R211)
2) Drive the vehicle at 40 km/h (25 MPH) for
20 seconds and check the vehicle speed signal
at that time.
Is the vehicle speed being
input?
Replace the tire
pressure monitor-
ing control module.
REMOVAL, Tire

ing System.>
Go to step 2.
2CHECK HARNESS.
1) Disconnect the combination meter connec-
tor (i10).
2) Connect the tire pressure monitoring con-
trol module connector (R211) and combination
meter connector (i10) and measure the resis-
tance.
Is the resistance less than 0.5
Ω?
Check the combi-
nation meter.
REMOVAL, Com-
bination Meter.>
Repair or replace

A: CAUTION
1. SRS AIRBAG SYSTEM
Airbag system wiring harness is routed near the
ABS wheel speed sensor and VDCCM&H/U.
CAUTION:
•All airbag system wiring harness and con-
nectors are colored yellow. Do not use the elec-
trical test equipment on these circuits.
•Be careful not to damage the airbag system
wiring harness when servicing the ABS wheel
speed sensor and VDCCM&H/U.

Before performing diagnosis, check the following
items which might affect VDC problems.
1. BATTERY
Measure the battery voltage and check electrolyte.
Standard voltage: 12 V or more
Specific gravity: 1.260 or more

Check the tightening torque of ground (GB-7) bolt
of VDC.
Tightening torque:
13 N·m (1.3 kgf-m, 9.6 ft-lb)
3. BRAKE FLUID
1) Check the brake fluid level.
2) Check the brake fluid for leaks.
4. HYDRAULIC UNIT
Check the hydraulic unit.
