VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS

CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS

1. Turn the engine switch off.

2. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

3. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

4. Turn the GTS on.

5. Follow the directions on the GTS to display the Data List and select areas where momentary interruption should be monitored.

   Tech Tips

   
   

   • A momentary interruption (open circuit) cannot be detected for 3 seconds after the engine switch is turned on (IG) (initial check).

   • If Error remains displayed for one of the items on the GTS, check for continuity between the ECU and the item for which Error is displayed.

   • If a momentary interruption occurs and Error is displayed on the GTS, Error will remain displayed on the GTS for 1 second after the circuit returns to normal.

6. While observing the screen, gently jiggle the connector or wire harness between the ECU and sensors, or between ECUs.

   Tech Tips

   If the display changes, this indicates that there has been a momentary interruption (open circuit) in the connector and/or wire harness. In this case, repair or replace the connectors and/or wire harnesses as one of them is faulty.
