INSPECTION PROCEDURE

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK DTC
(a) Is DTC output for ABS?
Result:





B -- REPAIR CIRCUIT INDICATED BY OUTPUT CODE
A -- Continue to next step.
2. INSPECT SKID CONTROL ECU CONNECTOR
(a) Check the ECU connector's connecting condition.
OK:
The connector should be securely connected.
NG -- CONNECT CONNECTOR TO ECU
OK -- Continue to next step.
3. CHECK SKID CONTROL ECU (IG1 VOLTAGE)
(a) WHEN USING TECHSTREAM:
(1) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(2) Start the engine.
(3) Enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRAC / Data List.
(4) Read the ECU IG Power Voltage status.

ABS/VSC/TRAC:





OK:
The Techstream displays Normal (ECU IG Power Voltage of the skid control ECU is 9.8 to 14 V).




(b) WHEN NOT USING TECHSTREAM:
(1) Disconnect the S1 skid control ECU connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(3) Measure the voltage of the wire harness side connector.
Standard voltage:





NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.
4. CHECK WIRE HARNESS (SKID CONTROL ECU - COMBINATION METER)




(a) Disconnect the S1 skid control ECU connector.
(b) Disconnect the C6 combination meter connector.
(c) Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.
Standard resistance:





NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.
5. CHECK WIRE HARNESS (SKID CONTROL ECU - BODY GROUND)




(a) Disconnect the S1 skid control ECU connector.
(b) Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connector.
Standard resistance:





NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.
6. INSPECT COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY
(a) Check combination meter assembly Problem Symptoms Table.
NG -- CHECK COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY
OK -- REPLACE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY
