VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
Use the table below to help determine the cause of the problem symptom. The potential causes of the symptoms are listed in order of probability in the "Suspected Area" column of the table. Check each symptom by checking the suspected areas in the order they are listed. Replace parts as necessary.
Note
When replacing the brake actuator assembly, sensor, etc., turn the engine switch off.
Tech Tips
-
Inspect the fuse and relay before investigating the suspected areas as shown in the table below.
-
Inspect each malfunction circuit in order for the corresponding symptom.
| Symptom | Suspected Area | See page |
|---|---|---|
| ABS, BA and/or EBD does not operate | Check for DTCs again and make sure that the normal system code is output. | |
| IG power source circuit | ||
| Front speed sensor circuit | ||
| Rear speed sensor circuit | ||
| Check the brake actuator assembly with the intelligent tester. (Check brake actuator assembly operation using the Active Test function.) If abnormal, check the hydraulic circuit for leaks. | ||
| If the symptoms still occur even after the above circuits in suspected areas have been inspected and proved to be normal, replace the brake actuator assembly (skid control ECU). | ||
| ABS, BA and/or EBD does not operate efficiently | Check for DTCs again and make sure that the normal system code is output. | |
| Front speed sensor circuit | ||
| Rear speed sensor circuit | ||
| Stop light switch circuit | ||
| Check the brake actuator assembly with the intelligent tester. (Check brake actuator assembly operation using the Active Test function.) If abnormal, check the hydraulic circuit for leaks. | ||
| If the symptoms still occur even after the above circuits in suspected areas have been inspected and proved to be normal, replace the brake actuator assembly (skid control ECU). | ||
| ABS sensor DTC check cannot be done | Check for DTCs again and make sure that the normal system code is output. | |
| TC and CG terminal circuit | ||
| If the symptoms still occur even after the above circuit in suspected areas has been inspected and proved to be normal, replace the brake actuator assembly (skid control ECU). | ||
