TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
How to Perform Trouble Diagnosis for Quick and Accurate RepairINFOID:0000000005612151
INTRODUCTION
The ABS/TCS/VDC system has an el ectronic control unit to control
major functions. The control unit accepts input signals from sensors
and controls actuator operation. It is also important to check for con-
ventional malfunctions such as air leaks in the booster or lines, lack
of brake fluid, or other malfunctions with the brake system.
It is much more difficult to diagnose a malfunction that occurs inter-
mittently rather than continuously. Most intermittent malfunctions are
caused by poor electrical connections or wiring. In this case, careful
checking of suspicious circuits may help prevent the replacement of
good parts.
A visual check only may not find t he cause of the malfunction, so a
road test should be performed.
Before undertaking actual checks, take just a few minutes to talk with
a customer who approaches with an ABS/TCS/VDC complaint. The
customer is a very good source of information, especially for inter-
mittent malfunctions. Through the talks with the customer, find out
what symptoms are present and under what conditions they occur.
Start your diagnosis by looking fo r “conventional” malfunctions first.
This is one of the best ways to troubleshoot brake malfunctions on
an ABS/TCS/VDC equipped vehicle. Also check related Service Bul-
letins for information.

6. The self-diagnostic results are displayed. • When “NO DTC IS DETECTED” is displayed, check the ABS warning lamp, SLIP indicator lamp and
VDC OFF indicator lamp.
7. Conduct the appropriate inspection from the display item list, and repair or replace the malfunctioning
component.
8. Start engine and drive at approximately 30 km /h (19 MPH) for approximately 1 minute.
CAUTION:
• When a wheel sensor “short-circuit” is detected, if the vehicle is not driven at 30 km/h (19 MPH)
for at least 1 minute, the ABS warn ing lamp will not turn off even if the malfunction is repaired.
9. Turn ignition switch OFF to prepare for erasing the memory.
10. Start the engine and touch “ABS”, “SELF-DIAG RESULTS”, “ERASE” in order on the CONSULT-III screen to erase the error memory.
If “ABS” is not indicated, go to GI-36, "
CONSULT-III Data Link Connector (DLC) Circuit".
CAUTION:
If the error memory is not erased, re -conduct the operation from step 5.
11. For the final inspection, drive at approximately 30 km/h (19 MPH) for approximately 1 minute and confirm
that the ABS warning lamp, SLIP indicator lamp, and VDC OFF indicator lamp are off.

ACTIVE TEST
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 AB S warning lamp, VDC indicator lamp, SLIP indicator
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 “MAIN SIGNALS” for each test item.
• For ABS solenoid valve, touch “Up”, “Keep”, and “Dow n” on the display screen. For ABS solenoid valve
(ACT), touch “Up”, “ACT UP ”, “ACT KEEP” and confirm that solenoid valves operate as shown in the table
