ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM


  1. DESCRIPTION

    When troubleshooting a vehicle with the diagnosis system, the only difference from the usual troubleshooting procedure is connecting the intelligent tester to the vehicle and reading various data output from the vehicle's skid control ECU.

    The skid control ECU stores DTCs when it detects a malfunction in itself or in its circuits.

    To check the DTCs, connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3 of the vehicle. The intelligent tester enables you to clear the DTCs, activate various actuators, and check the Freeze Frame Data and Data List.


    1. Check the battery voltage.

      If the voltage is below 11 V, recharge the battery before proceeding to the next step.

    2. Check the DLC3 Click here.

    3. DIAGNOSIS


      1. If the skid control ECU detects a malfunction, the ABS warning and brake warning lights will come on in order to warn the driver.

      2. The DTCs are simultaneously stored in memory. The DTCs can be read by connecting SST to terminals TC and CG of the DLC3 and observing the blinking pattern of the ABS warning lights, or by connecting the intelligent tester Click here.

      3. This system has a Test Mode (signal check) function. The DTCs can be read by connecting SST to terminals TS and CG of the DLC3 and observing the blinking pattern of the ABS warning lights, or by connecting the intelligent tester Click here.

    4. WARNING LIGHT AND INDICATOR LIGHT INITIAL CHECK


      1. Release the parking brake.

        Note

        When releasing the parking brake, move the shift lever to P (for Automatic Transaxle) or set chocks (for Manual Transaxle) to prevent the vehicle from rolling.

        Tech Tips

        When the parking brake is applied or the level of the brake fluid is low, the brake warning light comes on.

      2. When the ignition switch is turned to ON, check that the ABS warning, brake warning lights in the combination meter come on for approximately 3 seconds.

        Tech Tips

        If the warning light and indicator light check result is not normal, proceed to Troubleshooting for the ABS warning, brake warning light circuits.

        If an indicator remains on or does not come on, proceed to troubleshooting for the light circuits listed below.
