Inspection Procedure

NOTE: When replacing the skid control ECU, perform initialization of linear solenoid valve and calibration (see INITIALIZATION  ).

HINT:

Start the inspection from "CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR" when using the intelligent tester and start from "PERFORM TEST MODE" when not using the intelligent tester.

  1. CHECK WIRE HARNESS (MOMENTARY INTERRUPTION) 
    1. Using the intelligent tester, check for any momentary interruption in the wire harness and connector corresponding to a DTC (see CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS  ).

      Skid control ECU: 

      INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS

      Item (Display) Measurement Item / Range (Display) Normal Condition
      RR SPD OPN RR speed sensor open detection / ERROR or NORMAL ERROR: Momentary interruption
      NORMAL: Normal
      RL SPD OPN RL speed sensor open detection / ERROR or NORMAL ERROR: Momentary interruption
      NORMAL: Normal

      OK: 

      There are no momentary interruptions. 

      HINT:

      Perform the above inspection before removing the sensor and connector.

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (SPEED SENSOR CIRCUIT) 

    OK: GO TO Next Step 

  2. READ VALUE OF INTELLIGENT TESTER (REAR SPEED SENSOR) 
    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the power switch ON (IG).

      Skid control ECU: 

      DATA LIST

      Item (Display) Measurement Item / Range (Display) Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      RL WHEEL SPD Wheel speed sensor (RL) reading / min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), max.: 326 km/h (202 mph) Actual wheel speed Similar speed as indicated on speedometer
      RR WHEEL SPD Wheel speed sensor (RR) reading / min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), max.: 326 km/h (202 mph) Actual wheel speed Similar speed as indicated on speedometer
    4. Check that the speed value output from the speed sensor displayed on the intelligent tester and the speed value displayed on the speedometer are almost the same when driving the vehicle.

      OK: 

      The speed value output from the speed sensor displayed on the intelligent tester is the same as the actual vehicle speed. 

      Skid control ECU: 

      DATA LIST

      Item (Display) Measurement Item / Range (Display) Normal Condition
      RR WHEEL DIR Wheel direction (RR) / FORWARD or BACK FORWARD: Forward
      BACK: Back
      RL WHEEL DIR Wheel direction (RL) / FORWARD or BACK FORWARD: Forward
      BACK: Back

      OK: 

      The wheel direction is displayed. 

    NG:  GO TO step  5

    OK: GO TO Next Step 

  3. PERFORM TEST MODE (SIGNAL CHECK) 
    1. Clear the DTC (see DTC CHECK / CLEAR  ).
    2. Perform sensor signal check in "TEST MODE PROCEDURE ".

      OK: 

      All Test Mode DTCs are erased. 

    NG:  GO TO step  5

    OK: GO TO Next Step 

  4. RECONFIRM DTC 
    1. Clear the DTC (see DTC CHECK / CLEAR  ).
    2. Turn the power switch ON (READY).
    3. Drive the vehicle at the speed of 32 km/h (20 mph) or more for 60 seconds or more.
    4. Check if the same DTCs are recorded (see DTC CHECK / CLEAR  ).
