CAUTION:

The example shown is for the from right wheel. The procedure for the other wheels is the same as
given below.

●

To perform active test of ABS functions, select major items for
each test item. To perform active test of VDC/TCS functions,
select item menu for each test item.

●

For ABS solenoid valve, touch “UP”, “KEEP”, and “DOWN”. For
ABS solenoid valve (ACT), touch “UP,” “ACT UP,” and “ACT
KEEP”. Use screen monitor to make sure solenoid valve oper-
ates as shown in Solenoid Valve Operation Chart.

*: ON for 1 to 2 seconds after the touch, and then OFF

PRECAUTIONS FOR DIAGNOSIS

●

Before performing diagnosis, always read General Information (GI) to confirm general precautions. Refer
to 

GI-3, "PRECAUTIONS"

 .

●

If VDC/TCS/ABS control unit, steering angle sensor, steering system parts, suspension system parts, or
tires have been replaced, or if wheel alignment has been adjusted, be sure to adjust neutral position of
steering angle sensor before driving. Refer to 

BRC-6, "Adjustment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral Posi-

tion"

 .

●

When replacing VDC/TCS/ABS  control unit, be sure label on control unit are the same color.

●

After diagnosis is finished, be sure to erase memory. Refer to 

BRC-26, "ERASE MEMORY"

 .

●

When checking continuity and voltage between unit, be sure to check for disconnection, looseness, bend,
or collapse of connector terminals. If any malfunction is found, repair or replace connector terminals.

●

For intermittent symptoms, possible cause is malfunction in harness, harness connector, or terminals.
Move harness, harness connector, and terminals to check for poor connections.

●

If a circuit tester is used for the check, be careful not to forcibly extend any connector terminal.

●

To use CONSULT-II to perform self-diagnosis of VDC/TCS/ABS control unit, active tests, or work support,
first stop work, then connect CONSULT-II and select “ABS”.

●

CONSULT-II self-diagnostic results are displayed without regard to occurrence timing. In some cases later
ones (timing value is small) appear on former screen.

●

While self-diagnostic results of CONSULT-II shows malfunction, if CONSULT-II active test is performed,
an engine system error may be indicated. In this case, start engine to resume normal screen.

●

VDC/TCS/ABS system electronically controls brake operation and engine output. The following symptoms
may be caused by normal operations:

Symptom

Symptom description

Result

Motor operation sound

This is sound of motor inside VDC/TCS/ABS actuator. Slight sound may 
occur during VDC, TCS, and ABS operation.

Normal

Just after engine starts, the motor operating sound may be heard. This is a 
normal condition of the system operation check.

System operation check 
sound

When engine starts, slight “click” sound may be heard from engine room. 
This is normal and is part of system operation check.

Normal

TCS operation
(SLIP indicator lamp ON)

TCS may activate momentarily if wheel speed changes when driving over 
location where friction coefficient varies, when downshifting, or when fully 
depressing accelerator pedal.

Normal
Cancel the VDC/TCS 
function for the inspec-
tion on a chassis dyna-
mometer.

When checking speed meter etc. With a 2-wheel-drive chassis dynamome-
ter, vehicle speed is not increased by pressing down on the accelerator.

ABS operation
(Longer stopping distance)

On roads with low friction coefficients, such as snowy roads or gravel 
roads, vehicles with ABS may require a longer stopping distance. There-
fore, when driving on such roads, avoid overconfidence and keep speed 
sufficiently low.

Normal

Insufficient feeling of acceler-
ation

Depending on road conditions, driver may feel that feeling of acceleration 
is insufficient. This is because traction control, which controls engine and 
brakes to achieve optimal traction, has the highest priority (for safety). As a 
result, there may be times when acceleration is slightly less than usual for 
the same accelerator pedal operation.

Normal
