4

ABS or TCS*1 operates frequently/

TCS does not work correctly

*1: DSC system function contains traction control function, DSC indicator light goes on and off while DSC is operating

POSSIBLE CAUSE
•  DSC HU/CM DTC is stored
―  There is a malfunction in the engine control system (TCS malfunction)
•  Tire size or tire pressure malfunction
―  There is a difference in size or air pressure between the front and rear tires
•  Incorrect ABS wheel-speed signal is input to DSC HU/CM

Diagnostic procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION

1
INSPECT DSC HU/CM DTC
•  Perform the Reading DTCs Procedure.
•  Are any DTC present?
Yes
Go to the appropriate DTC inspection.
No
Go to the next step.
2
INSPECT TIRE SIZE AND TIRE PRESSURE
•  Inspect the tire size and the tire pressure.
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Replace with specified tires and adjust tire pressure.
No
Go to the next step.
3
INSPECT PID FOR ABNORMAL OUTPUT FROM ABS WHEEL-SPEED SENSOR USING M-MDS
•  Turn the ignition switch off.
•  Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.
•  Perform the PID/Data Monitor and Record Procedure and access the following PIDs:
―  LF_WSPD (LF ABS wheel-speed sensor)
―  LR_WSPD (LR ABS wheel-speed sensor)
―  RF_WSPD (RF ABS wheel-speed sensor)
―  RR_WSPD (RR ABS wheel-speed sensor)
•  Start the engine and drive the vehicle.
•  Verify that the PIDs of the four ABS wheel-speed sensors correspond approximately.
•  Do the vehicle speeds correspond?
Yes
Perform the “Intermittent Concern Troubleshooting”.
No
ABS wheel-speed sensor installation inspection:
•  Inspect the ABS wheel-speed sensor for looseness and verify that it is securely installed.
Sensor rotor installation inspection:
•  Inspect the ABS wheel-speed sensor rotor for poor installation and chipping of sensor rotor teeth. (If sensor rotor is installed poorly, it may cause output of abnormal wave form at high speed.)
Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results.
