1

CHECK OUTPUT OF G SENSOR USING SE-
LECT MONITOR.
1) Select “Current data display & Save” on the 

select monitor.

2) Read G sensor output on the select monitor 

display.
Is the G sensor output on monitor display 
within the specified range  when the G sen-
sor is in horizontal position?

2.1 - 2.5 V

Go to step 2.

Go to step 6.

2

CHECK POOR CONTACT IN CONNECTORS.
Turn ignition switch to OFF.
Is there poor contact in connector between 
ABSCM&H/U and G sensor?

There is no poor contact.

Go to step 3.

Repair connector.

3

CHECK ABSCM&H/U.
1) Connect all connectors.
2) Erase the memory.
3) Perform inspection mode.
4) Read out the DTC.

Is the same DTC still being output?

Same DTC is not indicated.

Go to step 4.

Replace 
ABSCM&H/U.  
<Ref. to ABS-6, 
ABS Control Mod-
ule and Hydraulic 
Control Unit 
(ABSCM&H/U).> 

4

CHECK ANY OTHER DTC APPEARANCE.
Are other DTC being output?

Other DTC is not indicated.

A temporary poor 
contact.

Proceed with the 
diagnosis corre-
sponding to the 
DTC.

5

CHECK OPEN CIRCUIT IN G SENSOR OUT-
PUT HARNESS AND GROUND HARNESS.
1) Turn ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect connector from ABSCM&H/U.
3) Measure resistance between ABSCM&H/U 

connector terminals.

Connector & terminal

(F49) No. 6 — No. 28:

Is the measured value within the specified 
range?

5.0 - 5.6 k

Ω

Go to step 6.

Repair harness/
connector 
between G sensor 
and ABSCM&H/U.

6

CHECK GROUND SHORT OF HARNESS.
Measure resistance between ABSCM&H/U 
connector and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(F49) No. 28 — Chassis ground:

Does the measured value exceed the specified 
value?

1 M

Ω

Go to step 7.

Repair harness 
between G sensor 
and ABSCM&H/U.
Replace 
ABSCM&H/U.  
<Ref. to ABS-6, 
ABS Control Mod-
ule and Hydraulic 
Control Unit 
(ABSCM&H/U).> 

7

CHECK G SENSOR.
1) Remove console box.
2) Remove G sensor from vehicle.
3) Connect connector to G sensor.
4) Connect connector to ABSCM&H/U.
5) Turn ignition switch to ON.
6) Measure voltage between G sensor con-

nector terminals.

Connector & terminal

(R70) No. 2 (+) — No. 3 (

−−−−

):

Is the voltage within the specified range  
when G sensor is horizontal?

2.1 - 2.5 V

Go to step 8.

Replace G sen-
sor.  <Ref. to ABS-
21, G Sensor.>

8

CHECK G SENSOR.
Measure voltage between G sensor connector 
terminals.

Connector & terminal

(R70) No. 2 (+) — No. 3 (

−−−−

):

Is the voltage within the specified range  when 
G sensor is inclined forwards to 90

°

?

3.7 - 4.1 V

Go to step 9.

Replace G sen-
sor.  <Ref. to ABS-
21, G Sensor.>

9

CHECK G SENSOR.
Measure voltage between G sensor connector 
terminals.

Connector & terminal

(R70) No. 2 (+) — No. 3 (

−−−−

):

Is the voltage within the specified range  when 
G sensor is inclined backwards to 90

°

?

0.5 - 0.9 V

Go to step 10.

Replace G sen-
sor.  <Ref. to ABS-
21, G Sensor.>

10

CHECK ABSCM&H/U.
1) Turn ignition switch to OFF.
2) Connect all connectors.
3) Erase the memory.
4) Perform inspection mode.
5) Read out the DTC.

Is the same DTC still being output?

Same DTC is not indicated.

Go to step 11.

Replace 
ABSCM&H/U.  
<Ref. to ABS-6, 
ABS Control Mod-
ule and Hydraulic 
Control Unit 
(ABSCM&H/U).> 

11

CHECK ANY OTHER DTC APPEARANCE.
Are other DTC being output?

Other DTC is not indicated.

A temporary poor 
contact.
