Inspection Procedure

NOTE: When replacing the ABS & TRACTION actuator assembly, perform zero point calibration (See CALIBRATION  ).
  1. INSPECT DLC3 TERMINAL VOLTAGE (TC TERMINAL VOLTAGE) 
    1. Turn the ignition switch on (IG).
    2. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Voltage

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (TC TERMINAL CIRCUIT) 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM 
    1. Check if the CAN communication system DTC is output (See DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM ).

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      DTC is not output A
      DTC is output B

      HINT:

      If troubleshooting has been carried out according to the PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE, refer back to the table and proceed to the next step before replacing the part (See PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE  ).

    B : REPAIR CIRCUIT INDICATED BY OUTPUT CODE 

    A : REPLACE ABS & TRACTION ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY 

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ECM TO DLC3) 
    1. Disconnect the ECM connector.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

    OK: Go to next step 

  6. CHECK ECM (DLC3 (TC) INPUT) 
    1. Using SST, connect the terminals TC and CG of the DLC3.

      SST 09843-18040 

    2. Check that the engine warning light is blinking.

      Result 

      RESULT CHART

      Result Proceed to
      Engine warning light is blinking A
      Engine warning light is not blinking B

    B : REPLACE ECM
