SYSTEM DIAGRAM
• By preventing rear wheel slip increase through rear wheel
brake force (brake fluid pressure) control that is
electronically controlled when slight skip on front and r ear wheels are detected during braking, stability dur-
ing braking is improved.
• EBD function is expanded and developed from conventi onal ABS function and corrects rear wheel brake
force to appropriate level by electronic control according to load weight (number of passengers).
Component Signal description
Combination meter Receives the following signals from ABS actuator
and electric unit (control unit) via CAN com-
munication.
• VDC warning lamp signal
• ABS warning lamp signal

• During braking, control unit portion compares slight slip on front and rear wheels by wheel sensor signal, transmits drive signal to
actuator portion when rear wheel sl ip exceeds front wheel slip for
the specified value or more, and controls rear wheel brake force
(brake fluid pressure) so that increase of rear wheel slip is pre-
vented and slips on front wheel and rear wheel are nearly equal-
ized. ABS control is applied when slip on each wheel increases
and wheel speed is the threshold value of ABS control or less.
• CONSULT can be used to diagnose the system.
• Fail-safe function is adopted. When a malfunction occurs in EBD function, the control is suspended for VDC function, TCS function,
ABS function and EBD function. Refer to BRC-29, "VDC/TCS/ABS
: Fail-safe".
INPUT SIGNAL AND OUTPUT SIGNAL
Major signal transmission between each unit via communication lines is shown in the following table.
VDC/TCS/ABS : Fail-safeINFOID:0000000009463757
VDC AND TCS FUNCTIONS
VDC warning lamp in combination meter turns ON when a malfunction occurs in system [ABS actuator and
electric unit (control unit)]. The control is su spended for VDC and TCS functions. However, ABS and EBD
functions operate normally.
ABS FUNCTION
ABS warning lamp and SLIP indicator lamp in combination meter turn ON when a malfunction occurs in sys-
tem [ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit)]. The control is suspended for VDC, TCS and ABS functions.
However, EBD functions operate normally.
EBD FUNCTION
ABS warning lamp, brake warning lamp and SLIP indicator lamp in combination meter turn ON when a mal-
function occurs in system [ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit)]. The control is suspended for VDC,
TCS, ABS and EBD functions.

DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM [ABS ACTUATOR AND ELECTRIC UNIT (CONTROL

CONSULT Function (ABS)INFOID:0000000009463758
CAUTION:
After disconnecting the CONSULT vehicle interface (VI) from the data link connector, the ignition must
be cycled OFF → ON (for at least 5 seconds) → OFF. If this step is not performed, the BCM may not go
to ”sleep mode”, potentiall y causing a discharged battery and a no-start condition.
FUNCTION
CONSULT can display each diagnostic item us ing the following direct diagnostic modes.
ECU IDENTIFICATION
ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) part number is displayed.
SELF DIAGNOSTIC RESULT
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 Diagnostic Result
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 t hat the ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp,
SLIP indicator lamp and brake warning lamp turn OFF.
CAUTION:
If memory cannot be erased, perform applicable diagnosis.
NOTE:
• When the wheel sensor malfunctions, after inspecting the wheel sensor system, the ABS warning lamp,
SLIP indicator lamp and brake warning lamp will not turn OFF even when the system is normal, unless
the vehicle is driven at approximately 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more for approximately 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 in ON position.
Display Item List
Refer to BRC-45, "DTC Index".
