   7. Start the engine.

3. ABS Signal Check

   Tech Tips

   Check that the ABS warning light is blinking in the test mode blinking pattern (0.125 seconds on and 0.125 seconds off) before performing the ABS signal check.

4. Master Cylinder Pressure Sensor and Acceleration Sensor Check

   
   

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

   2. With the vehicle stationary, release the brake pedal for 1 second or more, and then quickly depress the brake pedal with a force of 98 N (10 kgf, 22 lbf) or more for 1 second.

   3. Check that the ABS warning light comes on for 3 seconds.

      Tech Tips

      During test mode, the ABS warning light turns on for 3 seconds every time the above operation is performed.

5. Center Differential Lock Detection Switch Check

   
   

   1. Press the center differential lock switch to lock the center differential.

      Tech Tips

      Move the vehicle either forward or backward a little to engage the center differential lock.

   2. Press the center differential lock switch to unlock the center differential.

6. Speed Sensor Check

   Note

   
   

   • Before performing the speed sensor signal check, complete the master cylinder pressure sensor check.

   • The signal check may not be completed if the wheels of the vehicle spin or the steering wheel is turned during this check.

   
   

   1. Drive the vehicle straight forward at a speed of 45 km/h (28 mph) or more for several seconds (forward signal check).

   2. Check that the ABS warning light goes off.

   3. Drive the vehicle in reverse for more than 1 second at 3 km/h (2 mph) or more (reverse signal check).

   4. Check that the ABS warning light goes off.

      Tech Tips

      Drive the vehicle in reverse and check the speed sensor signal. Note that the signal check cannot be completed if the vehicle speed is 45 km/h (28 mph) or more.

      Note

      
      

      • The sensor check may not be completed if wheelspin occurs.

      • The ABS warning light blinks when the sensor check is 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.

   5. Stop the vehicle.

      Note

      
      

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

      • If the signal check is not completed, the ABS warning light blinks while driving and the ABS does not operate.

      Tech Tips

      When the signal check is completed, the ABS warning light goes off while driving and blinks in the test mode pattern while stationary.

7. VSC Signal Check

   Tech Tips

   Check that the slip indicator light is blinking in the test mode blinking pattern (0.125 seconds on and 0.125 seconds off) before performing the VSC signal check.

8. Stop light Switch Check (w/ Dynamic Radar Cruise Control System)

   
   

   1. Check that the shift lever is in P.

   2. Release the brake pedal for 1 second or more with the vehicle stopped, and then depress the brake pedal with a force of 50 N (5 kgf, 11 lbf) or more.

   3. Check that a buzzer sounds for 3 seconds.

9. Turn Assist Function Switch Check

    4. Turn the speed selector switch to medium.

    5. Turn the speed selector switch to medium-high.

    6. Turn the speed selector switch to high.

    7. Turn the speed selector switch to low.

11. VSC OFF Switch Check

    
    

    1. Press the VSC OFF switch.

    2. Check that the VSC OFF indicator light comes on.

    3. Press the VSC OFF switch again to turn the VSC OFF indicator light off.

12. End of Signal Check

    
    

    1. If the signal check is completed, the ABS warning light and slip indicator light blink (0.125 seconds on and 0.125 seconds off) when the vehicle is stopped and goes off while driving the vehicle.

       Note

       If the signal check is not completed, the ABS warning light blinks while driving and the ABS does not operate.

13. Read test mode (signal check) DTCs (when using the GTS).

    
    

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

       Note

       
       

       • If only DTCs other than test mode signal check DTCs are output, repair the malfunctions and clear the DTCs.

       • If test mode signal check DTCs and other DTCs are output or if only test mode sensor check DTCs are output, repair the malfunctions, clear the DTCs, and perform the test mode inspection again.

       Tech Tips

       Refer to Signal Check DTCs.

    2. Turn the engine switch off and disconnect the GTS.

14. Read test mode (signal check) DTCs (when using SST check wire).

    2. Read the number of blinks of the ABS warning light and slip indicator light.

       Tech Tips

       
       

       • If every sensor is normal, the normal code is output (a cycle of 0.25 seconds on and 0.25 seconds off is repeated).

       • If 2 or more malfunctions are detected at the same time, the lowest numbered DTC is output first.

    3. Disconnect SST from terminals 13 (TC), 12 (TS) and 4 (CG) of the DLC3.
