Initialization

INITIALIZING

NOTE:
- This system requires initialization after changing tires or wheels, or after rotating the tries.
- Be sure to adjust the tire pressure to the specified value before initialization.







a. Check and adjust the tire pressure to the specified value.
b. With the vehicle stopped, turn the ignition switch ON.
c. Press and hold the tire pressure warning reset switch until the tire pressure warning light blinks 3 times at 1 second intervals.

HINT: If the tire pressure warning light does not blink, preform the initialization again (turn the ignition switch OFF, perform the procedure above starting at step 4-(b)).

d. w/o VSC:
Drive the vehicle at 30 km/h (19 mph) or more, to complete the initialization of the ABS ECU with actuator (it takes more than one hour).

e. w/ VSC:
Drive the vehicle at 30 km/h (19 mph) or more, to complete the initialization of the skid control ECU with actuator (it takes more than one hour).

HINT: If the tire pressure warning light blinks at 0.25 second intervals while the vehicle is being driven, the initialization may have failed. If so, preform the initialization again (turn the ignition switch OFF and retry from step 4-(a)).

f. w/o VSC:
After initialization is completed, the ABS ECU monitors the tire pressure by using the wheel speed sensor.

g. w/ VSC:
After initialization is completed, the skid control ECU monitors the tire pressure by using the wheel speed sensor.

h. To verify that the system has been initialized, check the length of time that the tire pressure warning light is ON after the ignition switch is turned ON.
- Not initialized: 4 seconds
- Initialized: 3 seconds
