DESCRIPTION
The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) is connected to the combination meter assembly via CAN communication.
The slip indicator light blinks during VSC and/or TRC operation.
If a malfunction is detected, the slip indicator light comes on to warn the driver.
w/ Rear Differential Lock:
When the rear differential cannot be unlocked for 2 consecutive trips, the slip indicator light illuminates.
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
When replacing the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly), perform zero point calibration and store system information.
w/o Stop and Start System:
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.
w/ Rear Differential Lock:
As there may be malfunctions in the differential system related to when the system operates with the rear differential locked, check the differential system first.
