ACTIVE TEST

HINT:
Performing the ACTIVE TEST using the hand-held tester allows the relay, VSV, actuator and so on to oper-
ate without parts removal. Performing the ACTIVE TEST as a first step of troubleshooting is one of the meth-
od to shorten the labor time.
It is possible to display the DATA LIST during the ACTIVE TEST.
(a)

Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.

(b)

Turn the ignition switch ON.

(c)

According to the display on tester, perform the ”ACTIVE TEST”.

HINT:

IG must be turned ON to proceed Active Test using a hand-held tester.

FREEZE FRAME DATA

(a)

The vehicle (sensor) status memorized during ABS and/or VSC operation or at the time of error code
detection can be displayed by the hand-held tester.

(b)

Only one record of freeze frame data is stored and the freeze frame data generated during ABS and/or
VSC operation are constantly updated. Also, the number of the ignition switch’s ”ON” after the freeze
frame data is stored can be memorized up to 31 and it can be displayed.

HINT:
If the ignition switch ”ON” operation exceeds 31 times, ”31” appears on the display.
(c)

If the diagnosis code abnormality occurs, the freeze frame data at the occurrence of the abnormality
is stored but the ABS actuation data is deleted.

SENSOR SIGNAL CHECK (TEST MODE)

HINT:

If the ignition switch is turned from ON to ACC or LOCK
during test mode, DTC of sensor check function will be
erased.

During test mode, ECU records all DTC of sensor check
function. By preforming sensor signal check, the codes
are erased if normality is confirmed. The codes left over
are the codes where abnormality was found.

(a)

In case of not using hand-held tester:
Check the ABS sensor signal.
(1)

Turn the ignition switch OFF.

(2)

Using SST, connect terminals Ts and CG of DLC3.

SST

(3)

Start the engine.

(4)

Check that the ABS warning light blinks.

HINT:
If the ABS warning light does not blink, inspect the ABS warning
light circuit and Ts terminal circuit (See page 

05-368

, 

05-369

and 

05-380

).

(5)

Keep the vehicle in the stationary condition on a flat
place for 1 sec. or more.

(6)

Keeping the vehicle in the stationary condition and
the brake pedal in free condition for 1 sec. or more,
continue to depress the brake pedal with 147 N (15
kgf, 33 lbf) or more for 1 sec. or more.

(7)

Keeping the vehicle in the stationary condition, de-
press the brake pedal with 98 N (10 kgf, 22 lbf) or
more quickly.

HINT:
Under the above mentioned condition, the ABS warning light
turns ON for 3 seconds.

(8)

Drive vehicle straight forward.
When driving the vehicle at the speed faster than 45
km/h (28 mph) for several seconds, check that the
ABS warning light comes off.

HINT:
There is a case that the sensor check is not completed if the ve-
hicle has its wheels spun or its steering wheel steered during
this check.

(9)

Stop the vehicle.

(10) Using SST, connect terminals Tc and CG of DLC3.
