ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM TEST MODE PROCEDURE

WARNING LIGHT AND INDICATOR LIGHT INITIAL CHECK

1. Release the parking brake.

   Note

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

   Tech Tips

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

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

   Tech Tips

   
   

   • If the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) stores any DTCs, the ABS warning light will come on.

   • If any of the indicators remain on or do not come on, proceed to troubleshooting for the light circuits listed below.

DECELERATION SENSOR CHECK (When Using GTS) (for 4WD/AWD)

1. Keep the vehicle stationary on a level surface for 1 second or more.

SPEED SENSOR CHECK (When Using GTS)

1. 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.

2. Stop the vehicle.

   Note

   
   

   • The speed sensor check may not be completed if the sensor check is started with the steering wheel turned or one or more wheels spinning.

   • 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 during driving and the ABS system does not operate.

   Tech Tips

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

END OF SENSOR CHECK (When Using GTS)

1. 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 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.

READ DTC OF SIGNAL CHECK FUNCTION (When Using GTS)

1. Read the DTC(s) by following the GTS screen.

   Note

   
   

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

   • If Test Mode sensor check DTCs and other DTCs are displayed or if only Test Mode sensor check DTCs are displayed, repair the malfunctions, clear the DTCs, and perform the Test Mode inspection again.

2. Count the number of blinks of the ABS warning light.

   Note

   
   

   • If only DTCs other than Test Mode sensor check DTCs are displayed, repair the malfunctions and clear the DTCs.

   • If Test Mode sensor check DTCs and other DTCs are displayed or if only Test Mode sensor check DTCs are displayed, repair the malfunctions, clear the DTCs, and perform the Test Mode inspection again.

   Tech Tips

   
   

   • When the system is operating correctly, each light will blink continuously in a pattern of 0.25 seconds on, and then 0.25 seconds off.

   • When one DTC is output, each light will output the same code at 4 second intervals (for example, code 21 would be output as 2 flashes, a 1.5 second pause, and then 1 flash).

   • When 2 or more DTCs are output, each light will output a different code at 2.5 second intervals, and when all codes have been output, there will be a 4 second pause and the sequence will repeat.

   • When multiple codes are stored, they are output in order starting with the lowest DTC number.

3. After performing the check, disconnect SST from terminals TS and CG, and TC and CG of the DLC3 and turn the ignition switch off.

4. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

   Tech Tips

   
   

   • If the ignition switch is not turned to ON after SST is removed from the DLC3, the previous Test Mode will continue.

   • If the ignition switch is turned to ON with terminals TS and CG connected, the previous Test Mode will continue.
