DSC HU/Control Module REMOVAL/INSTALLATION: Notes

WARNING:
  • If the DSC HU/Control Module configuration is not completed, it could result in an unexpected accident due to the DSC being inoperative. If the DSC HU/Control Module is replaced, always use the automatic configuration function so that the DSC operation conditions are correct.
  • If the DSC related parts sensor initialization procedure is not completed, the DSC will not operate properly and it might cause an unexpected accident. Therefore, after replacing or removing the DSC HU/Control Module, make sure to perform the DSC related parts sensor initialization procedure to insure proper DSC operation.
CAUTION:
  • The internal parts of the DSC HU/Control Module could be damaged if dropped. Be careful not to drop the DSC HU/Control Module. Replace the DSC HU/Control Module if it is subjected to an impact.
  • Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces. Be careful not to spill any on painted surfaces. In addition, if there is any brake fluid on the wiring harness, the wire insulation may corrode causing a malfunction such as a short circuit. If brake fluid gets on a painted surface or wiring harness, wash and flush it off completely with water immediately.
NOTE:
  • When the ignition is switched ON or the engine is started after the DSC HU/Control Module have been replaced, the DSC Control Module reads data from the instrument cluster via CAN communication to perform automatic configuration.
  • The DSC HU/Control Module prior to replacement stores the vehicle specification information.
  • A new DSC HU/Control Module does not store any vehicle specification information.
  • Tighten the brake pipe flare nut using any commercially available flare nut wrench.
