Inspection Procedure

NOTE: When replacing the skid control ECU, perform initialization of linear solenoid valve and calibration (see INITIALIZATION  ).
  1. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST BY TECHSTREAM (SKID CONTROL BUZZER) 
    1. Select the ACTIVE TEST, generate a control command, and then check that the skid control buzzer operates.

      ABS / VSC / TRAC:

      Item Test Details Diagnostic Note
      VSC/BR WARN BUZ Turns VSC / BRAKE warning buzzer ON / OFF Buzzer can be heard

      OK: 

      The skid control buzzer can be heard. 

    OK: REPLACE SKID CONTROL ECU 

    NG: Go to next step 

  2. INSPECT SKID CONTROL BUZZER ASSEMBLY 
    1. Disconnect the skid control buzzer connector.
    2. Apply a battery negative voltage to terminal 1 and positive voltage to terminal 2 of the skid control buzzer connector, and check that the buzzer sounds.

      OK: 

      The skid control buzzer sound should be heard. 

    NG: REPLACE SKID CONTROL BUZZER ASSEMBLY

  3. CHECK WIRE HARNESS (SKID CONTROL ECU - SKID CONTROL BUZZER) 
    1. Disconnect the S8 ECU connector.
    2. Disconnect the S6 buzzer connectors.
    3. Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      S8-33 (VBZ) - S6-2 (VBZ) Below 1 Ω
      S8-12 (BZ) - S6-1 (BZ) Below 1 Ω
      S8-33 (VBZ) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
      S8-12 (BZ) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR
