Test Mode Procedure

BRAKE CONTROL: VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM: TEST MODE PROCEDURE

1. WARNING LIGHT AND INDICATOR LIGHT INITIAL CHECK

(a) Release the parking brake.

NOTICE:
Before releasing the parking brake, move the shift lever to the P position for safety.

HINT
When the parking brake is applied or the level of the brake fluid is low, the brake warning light comes on.

(b) When the ignition switch is turned on (IG), check that the ABS warning, brake warning, TRAC OFF indicator, VSC OFF indicator, slip indicator and downhill assist control indicator (for 4WD) lights come on for approximately 3 seconds.

HINT
* If the skid control ECU stores any DTCs, the ABS warning, brake warning, slip indicator and downhill assist control indicator (for 4WD) lights will come on.
* For vehicles with the multi-information display, the master caution indicator light will come on and a warning message will be displayed on the multi-information display if any of the EBD system, BA system, or TRAC system is malfunctioning or if the ABS control or VSC cannot be performed.
* If any of the indicators remains on or does not come on, proceed to troubleshooting for the light circuits listed below.

2. SENSOR CHECK USING TEST MODE (SIGNAL CHECK) (When Using Techstream)

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 (IG) to on (ACC) or off during Test Mode (signal check), DTCs recorded during the sensor check will be erased.
* 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 erased if a normal condition is confirmed. The remaining codes are the codes where an abnormality was found.
(a) Procedure to enter Test Mode

(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 the P position.

(4) Connect Techstream to the DLC3.

(5) Turn the ignition switch on (IG).

(6) Turn Techstream on.

(7) Switch the skid control ECU to Test Mode using Techstream. Enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRAC / Utility / Signal Check.

(8) Check that the ABS warning and slip indicator lights come on for several seconds and then blink in Test Mode.

HINT
* The TRAC OFF indicator light remains on during Test Mode because TRAC 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.
(9) Check the ABS sensors.

HINT
Check that the ABS warning light is blinking in the Test Mode blinking pattern before performing the ABS sensor check.

(b) Lost Booster Pressure Judgement Check and Master Cylinder Pressure Sensor Zero Point Calibration

NOTICE:
Preform the check in the lost booster pressure state (negative pressure in the booster is depressurized).

(1) Turn the ignition switch on (IG).

(2) Check that the brake warning light comes on when depressing the brake pedal with a force greater than 59 N (6 kgf, 13.2 lbf) for 1 second or more. (The lost booster pressure state is judged as normal.)

(3) Start the engine depressing the brake pedal with a force greater than 59 N (6 kgf, 13.2 lbf) for 1 second or more.

(4) Check that the brake warning light goes off when quickly releasing the brake pedal. (The lost booster pressure state is judged as normal.)

(5) Leave the vehicle for 1 second or more. (Master cylinder pressure sensor zero point calibration)

NOTICE:
* If you slowly depress the brake pedal or depress it again, master cylinder pressure sensor zero point calibration is not performed normally.
* If the lost booster pressure judgement check results are not normal, then the master cylinder pressure sensor check will not be able to be performed.
* If recheck is performed after the engine has started, end Test Mode, transit to Test Mode again, and release vacuum in the booster by pumping the brake pedal prior to the recheck.
(c) 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.

(d) Master Cylinder Pressure Sensor Check

(2) Check that the ABS warning light stays on for 3 seconds.

HINT
* Confirm 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 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 the booster pressure control. In this case, run the engine at idle to obtain sufficient vacuum.
(e) Speed Sensor Check

(1) 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 goes off.

* 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 if a malfunction is detected during the speed sensor check.
(2) Stop the vehicle.

NOTICE:
* Before performing the speed sensor check, complete the acceleration sensor and master cylinder pressure sensor checks.
* The speed sensor check may not be completed if the speed sensor check is started while turning the steering wheel or spinning the wheels.
* After the ABS warning light goes off, if 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 will blink while driving and the ABS will not operate.

(3) Stop the vehicle and move the shift lever to the P position. 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 Component Tests and General Diagnostics, 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 allow the wheels to spin.
* Do not turn the ignition switch off while turning.
