Without Scan Tool




a. Check the warning lights.
1. Release the parking brake pedal.
2. When the ignition switch is turned ON, check that the ABS warning light, VSC warning light, TRAC OFF indicator light, BRAKE warning light and SLIP indicator light go on for approx. 3 seconds.

HINT:
- When the parking brake is applied or the level of the brake fluid is low, the BRAKE warning light is lit.
- If the indicator check result is not normal, proceed to troubleshooting for the ABS warning light circuit, VSC warning light circuit, TRAC OFF indicator light circuit, BRAKE warning light circuit or SLIP indicator light circuit.

Trouble Area
ABS warning light circuit
VSC warning light circuit
TRAC OFF indicator light circuit
BRAKE warning light circuit
SLIP indicator light circuit

b. In case of not using hand-held tester:
Check the DTC of skid control ECU.




1. Using SST, connect terminals Tc and E1 of the DLC1 or Tc and CG of the DLC3.
SST 09843-18020 or 09843-18040

2. Turn the ignition switch ON.
3. Read the DTC from the ABS warning light and VSC warning light on the combination meter.

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

Trouble Area
Tc terminal circuit
ABS warning light circuit
VSC warning light circuit




- As an example, the blinking patterns for normal code and codes 11 and 21 are shown on the left.

4. Codes are explained in the code table.
5. After completing the check, disconnect terminals Tc and E1 of the DLC1 or Tc and CG of the DLC3, and turn off the display.

If 2 or more malfunction codes are identified at the same time, the lowest numbered DTC will be displayed 1st.

c. In case of not using hand-held tester:
Check the DTC of translate ECU.




1. Release the parking brake pedal.
2. Check the brake fluid level.
3. Using SST, connect terminals Tc and E1 of the DLC1 or Tc and CG of the DLC3.
SST 09843-18020 or 09843-18040

4. Turn the ignition switch ON.
5. Read the DTC from the BRAKE warning light.






HINT:
- If no code appears, inspect the diagnostic circuit, and BRAKE warning light circuit.

Trouble Area
Tc terminal circuit
BRAKE warning light circuit

- When the parking brake is applied or the level of the brake fluid is low, the BRAKE warning light is lit.
- If every sensor is normal, a normal code is output. (A cycle of 0.25 sec. ON and 0.25 sec. OFF is repeated.)
- If 2 or more malfunction codes are identified at the same time, the lowest numbered code will be displayed 1st.
