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.
[TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS]
•  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
•  There is a malfunction in the engine control system (TCS malfunction)

Diagnostic procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION

1
INSPECT DTCS IN DSC HU/CM
•  Inspect the DTC for the DSC ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
•  Have DTCs been stored in memory?
Yes
Perform the applicable DTC inspection.
No
Go to the next step.
2
INSPECT TIRE SIZE AND AIR PRESSURE
•  Are size and air pressure as specified?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace with specified tires and adjust tire air pressure.
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.
•  Select the following PIDs using the M-MDS:
―  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
Find that malfunctioning part according to “INTERMITTENT CONCERN TROUBLESHOOTING”.
No
•  ABS wheel-speed sensor installation inspection:
Inspect the sensor for looseness and verify that it is securely installed.
•  Sensor rotor installation inspection:
Inspect the 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.)
