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

      NORMAL: Normal      		 -
      RL Speed Open Rear 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 USING TECHSTREAM (REAR 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.
