In case of not using hand-held tester

SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL AND DECELERATION SENSOR (4WD) CHECK




a. Check the speed sensor signal.
1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2. Using SST, it connects terminal Ts and CG of DLC3.
SST 09843-18040

3. Start the engine.




4. Check that the ABS warning light blinks.

HINT: If no code appears, inspect the diagnostic circuit or ABS warning light circuit.

5. Drive vehicle straight forward.

HINT: Drive vehicle faster than 45 km/h (28 mph) for several seconds.

6. Stop the vehicle.
7. Using SST, it connects terminal Tc and CG of DLC3.
SST 09843-18040
8. Read the number of blinks of the ABS warning light.






HINT: Codes are explained in the code table.
- If every sensor is normal, a normal code is output (A cycle of 0.25 sec. ON and 0.25 sec. OFF is repeating).
- If 2 or more malfunction are indicated at the same time, the lowest numbered code will be displayed 1st.

9. After performing the check, disconnect terminal Ts and CG, Tc and CG of DLC3, and turn to OFF the ignition switch.




b. 4WD:
Check the deceleration sensor detection point.

1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2. Using SST, it connects terminal Ts and CG of DLC3.
SST 09843-18040

3. Start the engine.




4. Check that the ABS warning light blinks.

HINT: If no code appears, inspect the diagnostic circuit or ABS warning light circuit.




5. Jack up the rear side of the vehicle slowly, as shown in the illustration.

HINT: When measuring the height, measure at the center of the lower body of the vehicle.

6. Check that the ABS warning light blinks.

If the ABS warning light remains on, inspect the deceleration sensor installation. If the sensor installation is OK, replace the deceleration sensor.

7. Jack down the vehicle slowly.




8. Jack up the front side of the vehicle slowly, as shown in the illustration.

HINT: When measuring the height, measure at the center of the lower body of the vehicle.

9. Check that the ABS warning light blinks.

If the ABS warning light remains on, inspect the deceleration sensor installation. If the sensor installation is OK, replace the deceleration sensor.

10. Jack down the vehicle slowly.

11. Using SST, it connects terminal Tc and CG of DLC3.
SST 09843-18040

12. Read the number of blinks of the ABS warning light.

HINT:
- Codes are explained in the code table on page.
- If every sensor is normal, a normal code is output (A cycle of 0.25 sec. ON and 0.25 sec. OFF is repeating).

13. After performing the check, disconnect terminal Ts and CG, Tc and CG of DLC3, and turn to OFF the ignition switch.
SST 09843-18040

In case of using hand-held tester

SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL AND DECELERATION SENSOR (4WD) CHECK




Check the speed sensor signal.

1. Hook up the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
2. Select the ACTIVE TEST mode on the hand-held tester.
3. Do step 5.-(a)-(3) to (6).
4. 4WD:
Do step 5.-(b)-(3) to (10).

5. Read the DTC by following the prompts on the tester screen.

HINT:
- Please refer to the hand-held tester operator's manual for further details.
- Codes are explained in the code table.
