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 Techstream and start from "PERFORM TEST MODE" when not using the Techstream.

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

      ABS/VSC/TRAC

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition
      FR Speed Open Front speed sensor RH open detection / ERROR or NORMAL ERROR: Momentary interruption
      NORMAL: Normal
      FL Speed Open Front speed sensor LH 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 TECHSTREAM (FRONT SPEED SENSOR) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    3. Select the Data List mode on the Techstream.

      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 Techstream 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 Techstream is the same as the actual vehicle speed.

    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.

  4. RECONFIRM DTC 
    1. Clear the DTC (see DTC CHECK / CLEAR  ).
    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    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  ).
