Without Scan Tool

In case of not using the hand-held tester:
ABS SENSOR SIGNAL CHECK (TEST MODE)

NOTE: When having replaced the yaw rate sensor, deceleration sensor and/or ECU, perform zero point calibration of the yaw rate and deceleration sensors (See step 7.).

HINT: If the ignition switch is turned from ON to ACC or LOCK during test mode, DTC will be erased.

a. Procedures for test mode:
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Set the shift lever to P position.




3. Using SST, connect terminals Ts and CG of DLC3.

4. Check that the steering wheel is in the straight-ahead position.
5. Turn the ignition switch ON.
6. Check that the ABS warning light blinks.

HINT: If the ABS warning light does not blink, inspect the ABS warning light circuit or Ts terminal circuit.

b. Check the brake pedal load sensing switch.
1. By pumping the brake pedal, replease the booster vacuum.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (do not start the engine) and keep depressing the brake pedal for 1 sec. or more with a force of approx. 59 N (6 kgf, 14 lbf) or more.
3. Check that the brake warning light is lit and the operating sound of the ABS motor is heard.
4. Start the engine and depress the brake pedal with a force of approx. 59 N (6 kgf, 14 lbf) or more.
5. Check that the brake warning light goes out.

HINT: When rechecking, once exit the test mode and then activate the test mode again.

c. Check the deceleration sensor.
Keep the vehicle in a stationary condition on a level place for 1 sec. or more.
d. Check the master cylinder pressure sensor.
1. Leaving the vehicle in a stationary condition and the brake pedal in free condition for 1 sec. or more, continue to depress the brake pedal with a force of 98 N (10 kgf, 22 lbf) or more for 1 sec. or more.
2. While the vehicle is stopped, release the brake pedal.
3. While the vehicle is stopped, quickly depress the brake pedal once or more and check the ABS warning light is lit for 3 sec.

HINT: Repeat the operation until the ABS warning light is lit.

e. Check the speed sensor signal.
Drive the vehicle straightforward.
Drive the vehicle with the speed faster than 45 km/h (28 mph) for several seconds and check that the ABS warning light comes off.

HINT: The sensor check may not be completed if the wheels spin or the steering wheel is steered during this check.

f. Stop the vehicle.




g. Using SST, connect terminals Tc and CG of DLC3.

h. Read the number of blinks of the ABS warning light.

HINT:
- See the list of DTC.
- If every sensor is normal, the normal code is output (A cycle of 0.25 sec. ON and 0.25 sec. OFF is repeated).
- If 2 or more malfunctions are detected at the same time, the lowest numbered will be displayed 1st.

i. After doing the check, disconnect the SST from terminals Ts and CG, Tc and CG of DLC3 and turn the ignition switch OFF.
