Test Mode Procedure
BRAKE CONTROL / DYNAMIC CONTROL SYSTEMS: VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM: TEST MODE PROCEDURE
1. TEST MODE PROCEDURE (SIGNAL CHECK)
NOTICE:
After replacement of the brake actuator assembly and/or yaw rate and acceleration sensor, perform zero point calibration of the yaw rate and acceleration sensor.
HINT
* If the ignition switch is turned from ON to ACC or off during Test Mode (signal check), DTCs recorded during the sensor check will be cleared.
* During Test Mode (signal check), the skid control ECU records all DTCs detected in the sensor check. By performing Test Mode (signal check), the codes are cleared if a normal condition is confirmed. The remaining codes are the codes indicating where an abnormality was found.
(a) Procedure to enter Test Mode (When using Techstream).
(1) Turn the ignition switch off.
(2) Check that the steering wheel is in the straight-ahead position.
(3) Check that the shift lever is in P and apply the parking brake.
(4) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(5) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(6) Turn the Techstream on.
(7) Switch the skid control ECU to Test Mode using the Techstream. Enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRAC / Signal Check.
(8) Check that the ABS warning and slip indicator lights come on for several seconds and then blink in the Test Mode.
(b) Procedure to enter Test Mode (When using SST Check Wire).
(1) Turn the ignition switch off.
(2) Check that the steering wheel is in the straight-ahead position.
(3) Check that the shift lever is in P and apply the parking brake.
(4) Using SST, connect terminals 12 (TS) and 4 (CG) of the DLC3.

(5) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(6) Check that the ABS warning and slip indicator lights come on for several seconds and then blink in the Test Mode.
HINT
* The TRAC OFF indicator light remains on during Test Mode because traction control is prohibited.
* If the ABS warning and slip indicator lights do not blink, inspect the TS and CG terminal circuit and ABS warning and slip indicator light circuits.
2. ABS SIGNAL CHECK
(a) Acceleration Sensor Check
(1) Keep the vehicle stationary on a level surface for 1 second or more.
HINT
The acceleration sensor check can be performed with the master cylinder pressure sensor check below.
(b) Master Cylinder Pressure Sensor Check
(1) Leave the vehicle in a stationary condition and release the brake pedal for 1 second or more, and quickly and continuously depress the brake pedal with a force of 98 N (10 kgf, 22 lbf) or more for 1 second.
(2) Check that the ABS warning light stays on for 3 seconds.
HINT
* Ensure that the ABS warning light comes on.
* While the ABS warning light stays on, continue to depress the brake pedal with a force of 98 N (10 kgf, 22 lbf) or more.
* The ABS warning light comes on for 3 seconds every time the brake pedal operation above is performed.
* If the master cylinder pressure sensor check is not completed, depressing the brake pedal causes further decreases in vacuum in the brake booster, making the sensor check difficult to complete.
* If the vacuum is insufficient, the master cylinder pressure sensor check may not be completed. In this case, run the engine at idle to obtain sufficient vacuum.
* If the brake pedal is strongly depressed when the vacuum is insufficient, the brake warning light may come on in accordance with booster pressure control. In this case, run the engine at idle to obtain sufficient vacuum.
(c) Speed Sensor Check
(1) Check the speed sensor signal.
NOTICE:
Before performing the speed sensor signal check, complete the acceleration sensor and master cylinder pressure sensor checks.
Drive the vehicle straight-ahead.
Accelerate the vehicle to a speed of 45 km/h (28 mph) or more for several seconds and check that the ABS warning light turns off.
* The sensor check may not be completed if wheelspin occurs.
* The ABS warning light blinks when the sensor check has been 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.
(2) Stop the vehicle.
NOTICE:
* The speed sensor check may not be completed if the sensor check is started with the steering wheel turned or one or more wheels spinning.
* After the ABS warning light turns off and if the vehicle speed exceeds 80 km/h (50 mph), a sensor check code will be stored again. Decelerate or stop the vehicle before the speed reaches 80 km/h (50 mph).
* If the sensor check has not been completed, the ABS warning light blinks during driving and the ABS system does not operate.
HINT
When the sensor check has been completed, the ABS warning light remains off during driving and blinks in the Test Mode pattern while the vehicle is stationary.
3. VSC SIGNAL CHECK
(a) Check the output of the yaw rate sensor.
(1) Keep the vehicle stationary on a level surface for 1 second or more.
(2) Move the shift lever from P to D and drive the vehicle at a speed of approximately 5 km/h (3 mph), and turn the steering wheel either to the left or right 90° or more until the vehicle makes a 180° turn.
(3) Stop the vehicle and move the shift lever to P. Check that the skid control buzzer sounds for 3 seconds.
HINT
* If the skid control buzzer sounds, the sensor check has completed normally.
* If the skid control buzzer does not sound, check the skid control buzzer circuit, then perform the sensor check again.
* If the skid control buzzer still does not sound, the yaw rate sensor may be malfunctioning. Check for DTCs.
* Make a 180° turn. At the end of the turn, the direction of the vehicle should be within 180° +/-5° of its start position.
* Do not spin the wheels.
* Do not turn the ignition switch off while turning.
* Do not move the shift lever to P while turning, but changing the vehicle speed, stopping, or driving in reverse is acceptable.
* Complete the turn within 20 seconds.
(b) VSC OFF Switch Check
(1) Briefly press the VSC OFF switch.
(2) Check that the TRAC OFF indicator light turns off.
(3) Press the TRAC OFF switch again to turn the VSC OFF indicator light on.
4. END OF SENSOR CHECK
(a) If the sensor check is completed, the ABS warning light blinks (Test Mode) when the vehicle stops and the ABS warning light is off while the vehicle is being driven.
If all checks are completed successfully, the buzzer sounds for 3 seconds. If any checks are not completed successfully, the buzzer does not sound. If the buzzer does not sound, read the sensor check DTCs.
NOTICE:
* When the acceleration sensor, speed sensor, and master cylinder pressure sensor checks are completed, the sensor check is completed.
* If the sensor check is not completed, the ABS warning light blinks even while the vehicle is being driven and the ABS does not operate.
5. READ DTC OF SIGNAL CHECK FUNCTION
(a) When using Techstream
(1) Read the DTC(s) by following the tester screen.
NOTICE:
* If only the DTCs are displayed, repair the malfunction area and clear the DTCs.
* If Test Mode sensor check DTCs and other DTCs are displayed or if only Test Mode sensor check DTCs are displayed, repair the malfunctions, clear the DTCs, and perform the Test Mode inspection again.
HINT
Refer to Signal Check DTCs.
(2) Turn the ignition switch off and disconnect the Techstream.
(b) When using SST Check Wire
(1) Using SST, connect terminals 12 (TS), 13 (TC) and 4 (CG) of the DLC3.

(2) Count the number of blinks of the ABS warning and slip indicator lights.
HINT
* When the system is operating correctly, each light will blink continuously in a pattern of 0.25 seconds on, then 0.25 seconds off.
* When one DTC is output, each light will output the same code at 4 second intervals. (For example, Code 21 would be output as 2 flashes, a 1.5 second pause, and then 1 flash)
* When 2 or more DTCs are output, each light will output a different code at 2.5 second intervals, and when all codes have been output, there will be a 4 second pause and the sequence will repeat.
* When multiple codes are set, they are output in order starting with the lowest DTC number.
* See the list of DTCs (See procedure "A").
NOTICE:
* If only DTCs other than Test Mode sensor check DTCs are displayed, repair the malfunctions and clear the DTCs.
* If Test Mode sensor check DTCs and other DTCs are displayed or if only Test Mode sensor check DTCs are displayed, repair the malfunctions, clear the DTCs, and perform the Test Mode inspection again.
(3) After performing the check, disconnect SST from terminals TS and CG, and TC and CG of the DLC3 and turn the ignition switch off.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
HINT
* If the ignition switch is not turned to ON after SST is removed from the DLC3, the previous Test Mode will continue.
* If the ignition switch is turned to ON with terminals TS and CG shorted, the previous Test Mode will continue.
