ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED BRAKE SYSTEM TEST MODE PROCEDURE


  1. WARNING LIGHT AND INDICATOR LIGHT INITIAL CHECK


    1. When the power switch is turned on (IG), check that the ABS warning, brake warning / red (malfunction), brake warning / yellow (minor malfunction) and slip indicator lights come on until the power switch is turned on (READY).

      Tech Tips


      • When the power switch is turned on (IG), the VSC OFF indicator light comes on for approximately 3 seconds.

      • When the brake fluid level is low, the brake warning light / red (malfunction) comes on.

      • If the skid control ECU assembly stores any DTCs, the ABS warning, brake warning / red (malfunction), brake warning / yellow (minor malfunction) and slip indicator lights will come on.

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

  2. SENSOR CHECK USING TEST MODE (SIGNAL CHECK) (When Using the GTS)

    Note

    Before performing the master cylinder pressure sensor check, perform linear valve offset learning.

    Tech Tips


    • If the power switch is turned from on (IG) to on (ACC) or off during Test Mode (signal check), DTCs recorded during the sensor check will be cleared.

    • During Test Mode (signal check), the skid control ECU assembly records all DTCs detected in the sensor check. By performing Test Mode (signal check), the codes are cleared as the normal condition for each item is confirmed. The remaining codes are the codes where an abnormality was found.

    • When entering Test Mode, the skid control ECU assembly communicates with the driving support ECU assembly to judge whether the vehicle is equipped with the pre-collision system. Therefore, do not exit Test Mode within 5 seconds of entering Test Mode (w/ Pre-collision System).


    1. Procedure to Enter Test Mode


      1. Turn the power switch off.

      2. Check that the steering wheel is centered.

      3. Check that the shift lever is in P.

      4. Check that the parking brake is applied.

      5. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

      6. Turn the power switch on (IG).

      7. Turn the GTS on.

      8. Switch the skid control ECU assembly to Test Mode using the GTS. Enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRC / Utility / Signal Check.


        Chassis > ABS/VSC/TRC > Utility
        Tester Display
        Signal Check

        Tech Tips

        Do not exit Test Mode within 5 seconds of entering Test Mode. If Test Mode is exited within 5 seconds of entering Test Mode, DTC U1104 may be stored. If DTC U1104 is output after exiting Test Mode, enter Test Mode again, wait at least 5 seconds, then recheck for DTCs (w/ Pre-collision System).

      9. Check that the ABS warning, brake warning / yellow (minor malfunction) and slip indicator lights come on for several seconds and then blink in the Test Mode pattern.

        Tech Tips

        If the ABS warning, brake warning / yellow (minor malfunction) and slip indicator lights do not blink, inspect the ABS warning, brake warning / yellow (minor malfunction) and slip indicator light circuits.

      10. Check the ABS sensors.

        Tech Tips

        Check that the ABS warning light is blinking in the Test Mode pattern before performing the following ABS sensor checks.

    2. Acceleration Sensor Check


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

        Tech Tips

        The acceleration sensor check can be performed by following the master cylinder pressure sensor check procedure below.

    3. Master Cylinder Pressure Sensor Check

      Note

      Before performing the master cylinder pressure sensor check, perform linear valve offset learning.


      1. 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 greater than 98 N (10 kgf, 22.0 lbf) for 1 second.

      2. Check that the ABS warning light remains on for 3 seconds.

        Tech Tips


        • Confirm that the ABS warning light comes on.

        • While the ABS warning light remains on, continue to depress the brake pedal with a force of 98 N (10 kgf, 22.0 lbf) or more.

        • The ABS warning light comes on for 3 seconds every time the preceding brake pedal operation is performed.

    4. Speed Sensor Check

      Note

      Before performing the speed sensor check, complete the acceleration sensor and master cylinder pressure sensor checks.


      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.

        Tech Tips


        • The sensor check may not complete if wheelspin occurs.

        • The ABS warning light comes on immediately if a malfunction is detected during the speed sensor check.

      2. Stop the vehicle.

        Note


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

        • After the ABS warning light goes off, if 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 completed, the ABS warning light will blink while the vehicle is being driven and the ABS will not operate.

    5. VSC Sensor Check


      1. Check that the brake warning / yellow (minor malfunction) and slip indicator lights are blinking in the Test Mode pattern before performing the following VSC sensor check.

    6. VSC OFF Switch (Combination Switch Assembly) Check


      1. Press the VSC OFF switch (combination switch assembly).

      2. Check that the TRC OFF message is displayed on the multi-information display.

      3. Press the VSC OFF switch (combination switch assembly) again.

      4. Check that the TRC OFF message is not displayed on the multi-information display.

    7. End of Sensor Check


      1. When the sensor checks have completed, the ABS warning light goes off while the vehicle is being driven, and blinks in the Test Mode pattern while the vehicle is stopped.

        Note

        When the acceleration sensor, speed sensor and master cylinder pressure sensor checks complete, the sensor check is complete.

        If the sensor checks have not completed, the ABS warning light will keep blinking while the vehicle is being driven, and the ABS will not operate.

    8. Reading Sensor Check DTCs


      1. Read the DTCs by following the GTS screen.

        Note


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

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

        Tech Tips

        See Sensor Check DTCs.

        Using SST, connect terminals TC and CG of the DLC3.

        SST
        09843-18040
      2. Count the number of blinks of the ABS warning, brake warning / yellow (minor malfunction) and slip indicator lights.

        Tech Tips


        • How to read DTCs:

          Diagnostic trouble codes are represented by the number of blinks of a warning light. For example, code 21 would be shown by 2 blinks, a pause of 1.5 seconds, and then 1 blink.

        • If one code is detected:

          The light repeats the same code after a pause of 4 seconds.

        • If multiple codes are detected:

          The light outputs one code after another with a 2.5-second pause between each code. When all codes have been output, there is a 4-second pause and then the light begins to output the codes again.

        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


        • If more than 1 malfunction is detected at the same time, the lowest numbered code will be displayed first.

        • See Sensor Check DTCs.

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

        Tech Tips


        • If the power switch is not turned off and back on (IG) after SST is removed from the DLC3, the previous Test Mode will continue.

        • If the power switch is turned back on (IG) with terminals TS and CG connected, the previous Test Mode will continue.
