Inspection steps

CAUTION: When the skid control computer (brake actuator assembly) has been replaced, make sure to perform [VDC sensor midpoint setting mode]. (Refer to WORK SUPPORT  )
  1. Check the Current Data Display (Wheel speed)
    1. Using SSM3, check [Current Data Display] of [Wheel speed] while driving straight at a speed of 10 km/h or more. (Refer to CURRENT DATA DISPLAY & SAVE  )

      SSM3 screen: [ABS/VDC System]→[Current Data Display & Save]

      ITEM DESCRIPTION

      Item name Description/display range Normal value Remarks
      [Wheel Speed FR] Indicates the front right wheel speed.
      Display range: 0 to 326.4km/h
      When stopping: 0km/h
      While driving at a stable speed: There is no big change.
      -
      [Wheel Speed FL] Indicates the front left wheel speed.
      Display range: 0 to 326.4km/h
      When stopping: 0km/h
      While driving at a stable speed: There is no big change.
      -

      Criteria: There is no big difference from the speed meter.

      NG: Go to Step  3.

      OK: Go to next step

  2. Diagnostic code list recheck
    1. Using SSM3, clear the diagnostic code. (Refer to CHECKING/CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC CODES  )
    2. Perform a driving test.
    3. Using SSM3 again, check the diagnostic code output. (Refer to CHECKING/CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC CODES  )

      Result

      Result Go to
      Normal A
      Error code B

      B: Go to Step 3.

      A: Malfunction reproduction test (Refer to PROCEDURES FOR MALFUNCTION PHENOMENON SIMULATION )

  3. Speed sensor installation condition check
    1. Check installation condition of the speed sensor.

      Criteria: Properly installed.

      NG: Properly install the speed sensor or replace it.

      OK: Go to next step

  4. Speed sensor check (foreign matter adhesion)
    1. Remove the speed sensor from the relevant wheel and check it for foreign matter adhesion or damage at the tip. (Refer to REMOVAL  )

      Criteria: There is no foreign particles or damage.

      CAUTION: If there is no damage in the speed sensor through this check, do not replace the speed sensor.

      NG: Clean or replace the speed sensor.

      OK: Go to next step

  5. Check wiring harness and connector (front speed sensor - brake actuator assembly)
    1. Check the connector of the skid control computer (brake actuator assembly) for a trouble such as poor engagement or disconnection.

      Criteria: No trouble

    2. Turn IG OFF and disconnect the connector A5 from the skid control computer (brake actuator assembly).
    3. Disconnect the connector, A12 or A42 of the front speed sensor.
    4. Check the case and terminal of the connector for deformation and/or corrosion.

      Criteria: No deformation or corrosion.

    5. Measure the resistance between the terminals.

      NG: Repair or replacement of wiring harness or connector

      OK: Go to next step

  6. Skid control computer check (speed sensor power supply)
    CAUTION: Check voltage with front speed sensor connector connected and IG OFF→ON.
    1. Measure the voltage between the terminal and chassis ground.
