INSPECT YAWRATE SENSOR(INCLUDE DECELERATION SENSOR)

(a)

Remove the consol box.

(b)

Connect 3 dry batteries of 1.5 V in series.

(c)

Connect VYS terminal to the batteries’ positive (+) termi-
nal, and GYAW terminal to the batteries’ negative (-) ter-
minal. Apply about 4.5 V between VYS and GYAW termi-
nals.

NOTICE:
Do not apply voltage of 6 V or more to terminals VYS and
GYAW.
(d)

Check the output voltage of GL1 and GL2 terminals when
the sensor is tilted forward and rearward.
OK:

HINT:

If the sensor is tilted too much it may show the wrong val-
ue.

If dropped, the sensor should be replaced with a new one.

The sensor removed from the vehicle should not be
placed upside down.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:
Start the inspection from step 1 in case of using the hand-held tester and start from step 2 in case of not
using the hand-held tester.

1

READ VALUE OF HAND-HELD TESTER(MASTER CYLINDER PRESSURE
SENSOR OUTPUT VALUE)

(a)

Select the item ”MAS CYL PRESS 1, MAS CYL PRESS 2”in the DATA LIST and read its value dis-
played on the hand-held tester.

(b)

Check that the brake fluid pressure value of the master cylinder pressure sensor displayed on the
hand-held  tester is changing when depressing the brake pedal.
OK: Brake fluid pressure value must be changing.

OK

Go to step 4

2

INSPECT SKID CONTROL ECU TERMINAL VOLTAGE(PMC, PMC2 TERMINAL
VOLTAGE)

(a)

Install LSPV gauge to the front brake caliper bleeder plug
portion, and bleed air from LSPV gauge.

(b)

Start the engine and depress the brake pedal, then check
the relation between the fluid pressure and voltage of
PMC and E2, PMC2 and E3 terminals of the skid control
ECU with connector still connected.
OK:

CHECK SKID CONTROL ECU TERMINAL VOLTAGE(STP TERMINAL)

(a)

Remove the skid control ECU with connectors still con-
nected.

(b)

Measure voltage between terminal STP of skid control
ECU and body ground when brake pedal is depressed.
OK: 8 - 14 V

(c)

Measure voltage between terminal STP of skid control
ECU and body ground when brake pedal is released.
OK: Below 1.5 V
