ABS AND TCS OPERATE FREQUENTLY/INSUFFICIENT TCS OPERATION [ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED BRAKE SYSTEM]


id040309070700


Outline

Description

ABS and TCS*1 operate frequently

Insufficient TCS*1 operation

*1: The DSC system also includes the TCS function, and the TCS/DSC operation indicator light flashes during TCS operation.

Possible cause
•  The tire size or tire pressure of each tire differs
•  ABS wheel-speed sensor outputs error signal
•  EV system malfunction (TCS malfunctioning)

Diagnostic Procedure

Step

Inspection

Results

Action

1
INSPECT RELATED MODULE FOR MALFUNCTION
•  Verify the PCM and electronically controlled brake unit DTCs
•  Is a DTC displayed?
Yes
Repair the malfunctioning location according to the applicable DTC troubleshooting.
No
Go to the next step.
2
VERIFY TIRE CONDITION
•  Verify the tire pressure and specifications of the tire.
•  Are the tire pressure and specifications of the tire normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Adjust the tire pressure or replace with a specified tire and perform the repair completion verification.
*3
INSPECT ABS WHEEL-SPEED SENSOR FOR MALFUNCTION
•  Inspect the applicable parts for the following.
―  ABS wheel-speed sensor installation condition
―  ABS sensor rotor installation condition (if installed at an angle, it may cause output of abnormal wave pattern at high speeds)
•  Is the applicable part normal?
Yes
Refer to [ACTION FOR NON-REPEATABLE MALFUNCTIONS] to find the malfunctioning location.
No
Repair or replace the malfunctioning location and perform the repair completion verification.
Repair completion verification
VERIFY IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE IS CORRECTED
•  Install/connect the part removed/disconnected during the troubleshooting procedure.
•  Has the malfunction symptom been eliminated?
Yes
Complete the symptom troubleshooting.
Explain repair contents to customer.
No
Refer to the CAN (controller area network) malfunction diagnosis flow to inspect for a CAN communication error.
If the CAN communication is normal, perform the diagnosis from Step 1.

•  When performing an asterisked (*) troubleshooting inspection, first verify the damage and connection status of the connectors and terminals, then perform the inspection while shaking the wiring harness (cause of malfunction may be due to poor connection of connectors, terminals, or wiring harness). If there is a malfunction in the connectors or terminals, securely connect, repair, or perform replacement.
