  2. SENSOR CHECK USING TEST MODE (SIGNAL CHECK) (Using the Intelligent Tester)

    Tech Tips

    If the ignition switch is turned from ON to ACC or off during Test Mode (signal check), DTCs stored during the sensor check will be cleared.


    1. Procedure to enter Test Mode.


      1. Turn the ignition switch off.

      2. Check that the steering wheel is in the straight-ahead position.

      3. Check that the shift lever is in P (for A/T, CVT) or the parking brake is applied (for M/T).

      4. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

      5. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

      6. Turn the intelligent tester on.

      7. Switch the skid control ECU to Test Mode using the intelligent tester. Enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRC / Utility / Signal Check.

  3. SENSOR CHECK (Using the Intelligent Tester)


    1. Check speed sensor.

      A0057ZCE02

      1. Drive the vehicle straight ahead and accelerate it to a speed of 45 km/h (28 mph) or more over several seconds.

      2. Check that the ABS warning light goes off.

      3. Stop the vehicle.

        Note


        • The speed sensor check may not be completed if the speed sensor check is started while turning the steering wheel or spinning the wheels.

        • If the sensor check has not been completed, the ABS warning light will blink while driving and the anti-lock brake system will not operate.

        Tech Tips

        When the sensor check has been completed, the ABS warning light goes off while driving and blinks in the Test Mode pattern while stationary.

    2. Check VSC OFF switch.


      1. Briefly press the VSC OFF switch.

      2. Check that the TRC OFF message on the multi-information display changes from displayed to not displayed.

      3. Briefly press the VSC OFF switch again.

      4. Check that the TRC OFF message on the multi-information display changes from not displayed to displayed.

  4. END OF SENSOR CHECK (Using the Intelligent Tester)

      Test Mode Blinking Pattern
      *1 0.125 sec.
      *2 ON
      *3 OFF

      If the sensor check is completed, the ABS warning light blinks (Test Mode) when the vehicle stops and is off while the vehicle is being driven.

      Note

      If the sensor check is not completed, the ABS warning light blinks even while the vehicle is being driven and the ABS does not operate.

  5. READ DTC OF SENSOR CHECK FUNCTION (Using the Intelligent Tester)


    1. Read the DTC(s) by following the intelligent tester screen.

      Note


      • If only DTCs are displayed, repair the malfunctions and clear the DTCs.

      • If DTCs and Test Mode codes (DTCs of the sensor check function) are displayed, repair the malfunctions, clear the DTCs and perform the Test Mode inspection.

      Tech Tips

      Refer to the list of DTCs Click here.

  6. SENSOR CHECK USING TEST MODE (SIGNAL CHECK) (Using SST Check Wire)

    Tech Tips

    If the ignition switch is turned from ON to ACC or off during Test Mode (signal check), DTCs stored during the sensor check will be cleared.


    1. Procedure to enter Test Mode.


      1. Turn the ignition switch off.

      2. Check that the steering wheel is in the straight-ahead position.

      3. Check that the shift lever is in P (for A/T, CVT) or the parking brake is applied (for M/T).
