Test Mode Procedure

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

   HINT:

   • When the power switch is ON (READY), check that the ABS, brake, brake control warning lights and slip, VSC OFF indicator lights 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, VSC OFF indicator light circuits.

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

   HINT:

   • If the power switch is turned from ON (IG) to ON (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. Procedure for Test Mode.
   1. Turn the power switch OFF.
   2. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
   3. Check that the steering wheel is centered and move the shift lever to the P position.
   4. Turn the power switch ON (IG).
   5. Set the Techstream to Test Mode (select "Signal Check").

      HINT:

      Refer to the Techstream operator's manual for further details.

   6. Check that the ABS and brake control warning lights blink and VSC test mode message is indicated on the multi-information display (Test Mode).

      HINT:

      • If the ABS and brake control warning lights do not blink, inspect the TS and CG terminal circuit, ABS warning light circuit and/or brake control warning light (multi-information display) circuit.
      • Illustrations may differ from the actual screen displayed depending on the specifications of the vehicle and customized settings.

2. Check that 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 in reverse and check the speed sensor signal. The signal check cannot be completed if the vehicle speed is 45 km/h (28 mph) or higher.

2. Check the forward signal.
   1. Drive the vehicle straight ahead.

      Drive the vehicle at a speed of 45 km/h (28 mph) 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.

3. Stop the vehicle.
   NOTE:

   • Before performing the speed sensor signal check, complete the acceleration 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 80 km/h (50 mph), a signal check code will be stored again. Accelerate or stop the vehicle before the speed reaches 80 km/h (50 mph).
   • 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 the vehicle is stationary.

   1. Check the VSC sensor.
      • Perform the check after checking that the brake control warning light blinks and that VSC test mode message is indicated on the multi-information display.
      • Illustrations may differ from the actual screen displayed depending on the specifications of the vehicle and customized settings.
