VDC/TCS/ABS
Symptom TableINFOID:0000000005148085
If ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp turn ON, perform self-diagnosis.
NOTE:
• 1: The ABS does not operate when the speed is 10 km/h (6 MPH) or less.
• 2: Under the following conditions, ABS is activated and vibration is felt when brake pedal is lightly depressed. However, this
is normal.
- When shifting gears
- When driving on slippery road
- During cornering at high speed
- When passing over bumps or grooves [at approximately 50 mm (1.97 in) or more]
- When pulling away just after starting engine [at approximately 10 km/h (6 MPH) or higher] Symptom

Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000005148086
1.CHECK START
Check front and rear brake force di stribution using a brake tester.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 2
NO >> Check brake system.
2.CHECK FRONT AND REAR AXLE
Make sure that there is no excessive play in the front and rear axles. Refer to front: FAX-6, "
On-Vehicle
Inspection and Service", Rear: RAX-6, "On-Vehicle Inspection and Service".
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 3
NO >> Repair or replace malfunctioning components.
3.CHECK WHEEL SENSOR AND SENSOR ROTOR
Check the following.
• Wheel sensor installation for damage.
• Sensor rotor installation for damage.
• Wheel sensor connector connection.
• Wheel sensor harness inspection.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 4
NO >> • Replace wheel sensor or sensor rotor. Refer to BRC-114, "
Removal and Installation".
• Repair harness.
4.CHECK ABS WARNING LAMP DISPLAY
Make sure that the ABS warning lamp is turned off af ter the ignition switch is turned ON or when driving.
Is the ABS warning lamp illuminated?
YES >> Perform self-diagnosis. Refer to BRC-23, "CONSULT-III Function (ABS)".
NO >> Normal

NORMAL OPERATING CONDITION
DescriptionINFOID:0000000005148092
Symptom Result
Slight vibrations are felt on the brake pedal and the operation noises occur, when VDC, TCS or ABS is acti-
vated. This is a normal condi-
tion due to the VDC,
TCS or ABS activation.
Stopping distance is longer than that of vehicles without ABS when the vehicle drives on rough, gravel, or
snow-covered (fresh, deep snow) roads.
The brake pedal moves and generates noises, when TCS or VDC is activated due to rapid acceleration or
sharp turn.
The brake pedal vibrates and motor operation noises occur from the engine room, after the engine starts and
just after the vehicle starts. This is normal, and it is
caused by the ABS op-
eration check.
Depending on the road conditions, the driver may experience a sluggish feel. This is normal, because
TCS places the highest
priority on the optimum
traction (stability).
TCS may activate momentarily if wheel speed changes when driving over location where friction coefficient
varies, when downshifting, or when fully depressing accelerator pedal.
The ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicato
r lamp and SLIP indicator lamp may turn ON when the vehicle is
subject to strong shaking or large vibration, such as when the vehicle is rotating on a turntable or located on
a ship while the engine is running. In this case, restart the
engine on a normal
road. If the normal con-
dition is restored, there
is no malfunction. At
that time, erase the self-
diagnosis memory.
VDC may not operate normally or the ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp
may illuminate, when running on a special road that is extremely slanted (e.g. bank in a circuit course).
A malfunction may occur in the yaw rate/side/decel G sensor system, when the vehicle turns sharply, such
as during a spin turn, axle turn, or drift driving, while the VDC function is off (VDC OFF indicator lamp illumi-
nated).
The vehicle speed will not increase even though the accelerator pedal is depressed, when inspecting the
speedometer on a 2-wheel chassis dynamometer.
Normal (Deactivate the
VDC/TCS function be-
fore performing an in-
spection on a chassis
dynamometer.)
VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp may simultaneously turn on when low tire pressure warn-
ing lamp turns on. This is not a VDC sys-
tem error but results
from characteristic
change of tire.

Removal and InstallationINFOID:0000000005148099
REMOVAL
1. Remove wheel sensor bolt.
• When removing the front wheel sensor, first remove t he disc rotor to gain access to the front wheel sen-
sor bolt. Refer to BR-31, "
Removal and Installation of Brake Caliper and Rotor".
• When removing the rear wheel sensor, first remove the rear hub and bearing assembly to gain access to
the rear wheel sensor bolt. Refer to RAX-8, "
Removal and Installation".
2. Pull out the sensor, being careful to turn it as little as possible. CAUTION:
• Do not pull on the sensor harness.
3. Disconnect wheel sensor harness electrical connec tor, then remove harness from attaching points.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal. Tighten wheel sensor bolt to specification.
CAUTION:
• Inspect wheel sensor O-ring, replace sensor assembly if damaged.
• Before installing wheel sensor, make sure no foreign materials (such as iron fragments) are adhered
to the pick-up part of the sensor, to the inside of the sensor hole or on the rotor mating surface.
• Apply a coat of suitable grease to the wheel sensor O-ring and hole. Refer to MA-13, "
Fluids and
Lubricants".
