DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

ACTIVE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM (ASC)

35C-243

Inspection Procedure 11: Abnormality in brake operation

CAUTION

• If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incor-

rect diagnostic trouble code may be set. Prior to this 
diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines (Refer to 
GROUP 54C 

− CAN Bus Line Diagnostic Flow 

P.54C-10

).

• Whenever ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN bus 

lines are normal.

• When the hydraulic unit (integrated with ASC-ECU) is 

replaced, always carry out the calibration of the steer-
ing wheel sensor, the G and yaw rate sensor and brake 
fluid pressure sensor (Refer to 

P.35C-282

, 

P.35C-283

 

and 

P.35C-284

).

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)

Although the cause of the trouble cannot be clearly resolved 
since it depends on the running status and road surface condi-
tion, the malfunction of the hydraulic circuit may occur if any 
diagnostic trouble code is not detected.

.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Hydraulic unit (Integrated with ASC-ECU) malfunction

• Malfunction of hydraulic circuit

• Malfunction of brake assembly

• Malfunction of brake booster

• Malfunction of master cylinder assembly

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: Vehicle Communication Interface (V.C.I.)

• MB991827: M.U.T.-III USB Cable

• MB991910: M.U.T.-III Main Harness A

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, check the diagnostic 
trouble code
Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO :  Troubleshoot for the relevant diagnostic trouble code 

(Refer to 

P.35C-18

).

STEP 2. Hydraulic unit (Integrated with ASC-ECU) check
Check that the brake tube is installed to the hydraulic unit (inte-
grated with ASC-ECU) correctly (Refer to 

P.35C-277

).

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  Connect the brake tubes correctly, repair the external 

brake lines, or replace the hydraulic unit (integrated 
with ASC-ECU) (Refer to 

P.35C-287

).

STEP 3. Brake operation check
Perform the following checks.

• Brake pedal check (Refer to GROUP 35A − On-vehicle Ser-

vice/Brake Pedal Check and Adjustment 

P.35A-15

).

• Brake booster check (Refer to GROUP 35A − On-vehicle 

Service/Brake Booster Operation Check 

P.35A-17

).

• Check valve check (Refer to GROUP 35A − On-vehicle Ser-

vice/Check Valve Operation Check 

P.35A-19

).

Q: Can any fault be found with the brake operation?

YES : Check the brake-related parts, and repair if 

necessary. Then, go to Step 4.

NO :  Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Hydraulic unit check
Perform the following actuator tests (Refer to 

P.35C-273

).

• Item No.01: FL wheel ABS drive

• Item No.02: FR wheel ABS drive

• Item No.03: RL wheel ABS drive

• Item No.04: RR wheel ABS drive

• Item No.05: FL wheel TCL drive

• Item No.06: FR wheel TCL drive

• Item No.07: RL wheel TCL drive

• Item No.08: RR wheel TCL drive

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : The procedure is complete.
NO :  Replace the hydraulic unit (integrated with ASC-ECU) 

(Refer to 

P.35C-287

).

Inspection Procedure 12: ASC system does not operate or faulty ASC operate.

CAUTION

• If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incor-

rect diagnostic trouble code may be set. Prior to this 
diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines (Refer to 
GROUP 54C 

− CAN Bus Line Diagnostic Flow 

P.54C-10

).

• Whenever ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN bus 

lines are normal.

• When the hydraulic unit (integrated with ASC-ECU) is 

replaced, always carry out the calibration of the steer-
ing wheel sensor, the G and yaw rate sensor and brake 
fluid pressure sensor (Refer to 

P.42C-10

, 

P.35C-283

 and 

P.35C-284

).

.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM

In case of this trouble symptom, ASC system operation may be 
disabled. Diagnostic trouble code may be set by the TCL/ASC 
system using scan tool.
