TCS OFF light stays on more than 4 seconds with ignition switch on. (Parking brake is released.)

[TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS]

• Warning light circuit open or shorted to ground in ABS/TCS HU/CM

• Warning light circuit open or shorted to ground in ABS/TCS HU/CM

1
INSPECT WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN ABS/TCS HU/CM AND DLC-2 FOR CONTINUITY AND SHORTS
Perform DTC inspection.
Is error message displayed regarding communication between ABS/TCS HU/CM and WDS or equivalent?
Yes
If a communication error message is displayed even after inspecting according to procedures displayed on WDS or equivalent, go to Step 8.
No
Go to next step.
2
INSPECT FOR DTCS IN ABS/TCS HU/CM
Have DTCs been recorded in memory?
Yes
Perform inspection using appropriate DTC.
No
Go to next step.
3
INSPECT PID/DATA IN ABS/TCS HU/CM
Inspect the following items using WDS or equivalent PID/DATA monitor function.

• TRAC_SW (TCS OFF switch)

Is TRAC_SW ON displayed on WDS or equivalent?
Yes
Go to Step 6 (TCS OFF switch system malfunction).
No
Go to next step.

*4

INSPECT FOR SHORT TO GROUND IN ABS/TCS HU/CM
Disconnect ABS/TCS HU/CM connector.
Does TCS OFF light go out with ignition switch on?
Yes
Replace ABS/TCS HU/CM (short to ground in ABS/TCS HU/CM).
No
Go to next step.

*5

INSPECT TCS OFF SWITCH
Disconnect TCS OFF switch connector.
Is TRAC_SW ON displayed on WDS or equivalent?
Yes
Go to next step.
No
Replace TCS OFF switch (TCS will not turn off, even though switch is OFF).

*6

VERIFY WHETHER MALFUNCTION IS IN WIRING HARNESS (BETWEEN ABS/TCS HU/CM AND TCS OFF SWITCH FOR SHORT TO GROUND) OR ABS/TCS HU/CM
Is there continuity between connector terminal P and ground?
Yes
Repair wiring harness between ABS/TCS HU/CM (terminal P) and TCS OFF switch.
No
Go to next step.
*7
INSPECT WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN ABS/TCS HU/CM AND DLC-2 FOR CONTINUITY
Is there continuity between connector terminal O, R and DLC-2?
Yes
Go to next step.
No
Repair wiring harness between ABS/TCS HU/CM and DLC-2.

*8

INSPECT WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN ABS/TCS HU/CM AND DLC-2 FOR SHORT TO B+
Is voltage approx. 12 V at connector terminal O, R?
Yes
Repair wiring harness between ABS/TCS HU/CM (terminal P) and DLC-2.
No
Go to next step.

*9

INSPECT WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN ABS/TCS HU/CM AND DLC-2 FOR SHORT TO GROUND
Is there continuity between connector terminal O, R and ground?
 
Yes
Repair wiring harness between ABS/TCS HU/CM and DLC-2.
No
Replace ABS/TCS HU/CM (communication circuit malfunction in ABS/TCS HU/CM).

• When performing an asterisked (*) troubleshooting inspection, shake the wiring harness and connectors while doing the inspection to discover whether poor contact points are the cause of any intermittent malfunctions. If there is a problem, check to make sure connectors, terminals and wiring harness are connected correctly and undamaged
