Test Mode Procedure

BRAKE CONTROL: VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM: TEST MODE PROCEDURE

TEST MODE PROCEDURE

1. WARNING LIGHT AND INDICATOR LIGHT INITIAL CHECK

(a) Release the parking brake.
NOTICE: Before releasing the parking brake, move the shift lever to the P position for safety (for automatic transaxle model) or set chocks to hold the vehicle for safety (for manual transaxle model).
HINT: When the parking brake is applied or the level of the brake fluid is low, the brake warning light comes on.

(b) When the ignition switch is turned to ON, check that the ABS warning, brake warning, VSC OFF indicator and SLIP indicator lights come on for approximately 3 seconds.
HINT:
- If the skid control ECU stores any DTCs, the ABS warning, SLIP indicator and VSC OFF indicator lights will come on.
- If the indicator remains on or does not come on, proceed to troubleshooting for the light circuits listed below.

2. TEST MODE PROCEDURE (SIGNAL CHECK) (Using Techstream)
NOTICE: After replacement of the brake actuator assembly and/or yaw rate and acceleration sensor, perform zero point calibration of the yaw rate and acceleration sensor.
HINT:
- If the ignition switch is turned from ON to ACC or OFF during Test Mode (signal check), DTCs recorded during the signal check function will be erased.
- During Test Mode (signal check), the skid control ECU records all DTCs of the signal check function. By performing the Test Mode (signal check), the codes are erased if a normal condition is confirmed. The remaining codes are the codes where an abnormality was found.

(a) Procedure to enter Test Mode.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
(2) Check that the steering wheel is in the straight-ahead position.
(3) Check that the shift lever is in the P position (for automatic transaxle model) or the parking brake is applied (for manual transaxle model).
(4) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(5) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(6) Turn the Techstream on.
(7) Enter the following menu items: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRAC / Signal Check.

(8) Check that the ABS warning and VSC OFF indicator lights come on for several seconds and then blink in Test Mode.
HINT:
- The SLIP indicator light remains on during Test Mode because traction control is prohibited (The SLIP indicator light goes off when the VSC OFF switch is ON).
- If the ABS warning and VSC OFF indicator lights do not blink, inspect the TS and CG terminal circuit and ABS warning and VSC OFF indicator light circuits.

3. ACCELERATION SENSOR CHECK (Using Techstream)
(a) Keep the vehicle stationary on a level surface for 1 second or more.
HINT: Acceleration sensor check can be performed with the master cylinder pressure sensor check below.

4. MASTER CYLINDER PRESSURE SENSOR CHECK (Using Techstream)
(a) Leave the vehicle in a stationary condition and release the brake pedal for 1 second or more, and quickly and continuously depress the brake pedal with a force of 98 N (10 kgf, 22 lbf) or more for 1 second.
(b) Check that the ABS warning light stays on for 3 seconds.
HINT:
- Ensure that the ABS warning light comes on.
- While the ABS warning light stays on, continue to depress the brake pedal with a force of 98 N (10 kgf, 22 lbf) or more.
- The ABS warning light comes on for 3 seconds every time the brake pedal operation above is performed.
- If the check of the master cylinder pressure sensor is not completed, depressing the brake pedal causes further decrease in the negative pressure, making the sensor check difficult to complete.
- If the negative pressure is insufficient, the master cylinder pressure sensor check may not be completed. In this case, run the engine at idle to obtain sufficient negative pressure.
- If the brake pedal is strongly depressed when the negative pressure is insufficient, the brake warning light may come on in accordance with the booster pressure control. In this case, run the engine at idle to obtain sufficient negative pressure.

5. SPEED SENSOR CHECK (Using Techstream)
(a) Check the speed sensor signal.
(1) Drive the vehicle straight-ahead.
Accelerate the vehicle to a speed of 45 km/h (28 mph) or more for several seconds and check that the ABS warning light goes off.

- The sensor check may not be completed if wheelspin occurs.
- The ABS warning light blinks when the sensor check has been completed and the brake pedal is depressed.
- The ABS warning light comes on immediately after a malfunction has been detected during the speed sensor check.

(b) Stop the vehicle.

NOTICE:
- Before performing the speed sensor check, complete the acceleration sensor and master cylinder pressure sensor checks.
- The speed sensor check may not be completed if the speed sensor check is started while turning the steering wheel or spinning the wheels.
- After the ABS warning light goes off and if the vehicle speed exceeds 80 km/h (50 mph), a sensor check code will be stored again. Decelerate or stop the vehicle before the speed reaches 80 km/h (50 mph).
- If the sensor check has not been completed, the ABS warning light blinks while driving and the ABS system does not operate.
HINT: When the sensor check has been completed, the ABS warning light goes off while driving and blinks in the Test Mode pattern while stationary.

6. YAW RATE SENSOR CHECK (Using Techstream)

(a) Check the output of the yaw rate sensor.
(1) Keep the vehicle in a stationary condition on a level surface for 1 second or more.
(2) Move the shift lever from the P to D position (for automatic transaxle model) or release the parking brake (for manual transaxle model) and drive the vehicle at a speed of approximately 5 km/h (3 mph), and turn the steering wheel either to the left or right 90° or more until the vehicle makes a 180° turn.
(3) Stop the vehicle and move the shift lever to the P position (for automatic transaxle model) or apply the parking brake (for manual transaxle model). Check that the skid control buzzer sounds for 3 seconds.
HINT:
- If the skid control buzzer sounds, the sensor check is completed normally.
- If the skid control buzzer does not sound, check the skid control buzzer circuit Skid Control Buzzer Circuit, then perform the sensor check again.
- If the skid control buzzer still does not sound, there is a malfunction in the yaw rate sensor, so check the DTC.
- Make a 180° turn. At the end of the turn, the direction of the vehicle should be 180° +/- 5° of its start position.
- Do not spin the wheels.
- Do not turn the ignition switch to OFF while turning.
- Do not move the shift lever to the P position (for automatic transaxle model) or do not apply the parking brake (for manual transaxle model) while turning. Changing the vehicle speed, stopping, or driving in reverse is possible.
- Complete the turn within 20 seconds.

7. END OF SENSOR CHECK (Using Techstream)

(a) If the sensor check is completed, the ABS warning light blinks (Test Mode) when the vehicle stops and the ABS warning light is off while the vehicle is driving.
NOTICE:
- When the yaw rate sensor, acceleration sensor, speed sensor, and master cylinder pressure sensor checks are completed, the sensor check is completed.
- If the sensor check is not completed, the ABS warning light blinks even while the vehicle is driving and the ABS does not operate.

8. READ DTC OF SIGNAL CHECK FUNCTION (Using Techstream)
(a) Read the DTC(s) by following the tester screen.
NOTICE:
- If only the DTCs are displayed, repair the malfunction area and clear the DTCs.
- If the DTCs or Test Mode codes (DTC of signal check function) are displayed, repair the malfunction area, clear the DTCs and perform Test Mode inspection.
HINT: See the list of DTCs (See procedure "A").

9. TEST MODE PROCEDURE (SIGNAL CHECK) (Using SST Check Wire)
NOTICE: After replacement of the brake actuator assembly and/or yaw rate and acceleration sensor, perform zero point calibration of the yaw rate and acceleration sensor.
HINT:
