Test Mode Procedure

1. Release the parking brake.
   NOTE: Before releasing the parking brake, set chocks to hold the vehicle for safety.

   HINT:

   • When the ignition switch is on, check that the ABS, BRAKE, brake control warning lights and SLIP indicator light come on for approximately 3 seconds.
   • If the warning light and indicator light check result is not normal, proceed to troubleshooting for the ABS, BRAKE, brake control warning light circuits, and SLIP indicator light circuit.

     If the indicator remains on, proceed to troubleshooting for the light circuit below.

1. When having replaced the skid control ECU and/or yaw rate and deceleration sensor, perform zero point calibration of the yaw rate and deceleration sensor.

   HINT:

   • If the ignition switch is turned from the ON position to the ACC or off during test mode (signal check), DTCs of the signal check function will be erased.
   • During test mode (signal check), the skid control ECU records all DTCs of the signal check function. By performing the test mode (signal check), the codes are erased if normality is confirmed. The remaining codes are the codes where an abnormality was found.
2. Procedures for test mode.
   1. Turn the ignition switch off.
   2. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

2. Check the ABS warning light stays on for 3 seconds.

   HINT:

   • Ensure that the ABS warning light comes on.
   • While the ABS warning light stays on, continue to depress the brake pedal with a force of 98 N (10 kgf, 22 lbf) or more.

      Drive the vehicle at a speed of 28 mph (45 km/h) or higher for several seconds and check that the ABS warning light goes off.

      HINT:

      The signal check may not be completed if the vehicle has its wheels spun or the steering wheel turned during this check.

3. Stop the vehicle.
   NOTE:

   • Before performing the speed sensor signal check, complete the deceleration sensor and master cylinder pressure sensor checks.
   • The speed sensor signal check may not be completed if the speed sensor signal check is started while turning the steering wheel or spinning the wheels.
   • After the ABS warning light goes off and if the vehicle speed exceeds 50 mph (80 km/h), a signal check code will be stored again. Decelerate or stop the vehicle before the speed reaches 50 mph (80 km/h).
   • If the signal check has not been completed, the ABS warning light blinks while driving and the ABS system does not operate.

   HINT:

   When the signal check has been completed, the ABS warning light goes off while driving and blinks in the test mode pattern while stationary.
