Operation That Is Not "System Error"
ABS^ When starting engine or just after starting vehicle, brake pedal may vibrate or the motor operating sound may be heard from engine room. This is a normal states of the operation check.
^ During ABS operation, brake pedal lightly vibrates and a mechanical sound may be heard. This is normal.
^ Stopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles without ABS when vehicle drives on rough, gravel, or snow-covered (fresh, deep snow) roads.
TCS
^ Depending on road circumstances, driver may have a sluggish feel. This is normal, because optimum traction has highest priority under TCS operation.
^ When vehicle is passing through a road where surface friction varies, downshifting or depressing accelerator pedal fully may activate TCS temporarily.
VDC
^ During VDC operation, body and brake pedal lightly vibrate and mechanical sounds may be heard. This is normal.
^ If vehicle is rotated on turn table, or rolled and rocked on ship, ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp may turn on. In this case, start engine on normal road again. If ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp turn off after restart, it is normal.
^ When starting TCS or VDC under rapid acceleration or hard turn, operating sound by brake pedal is generated. However, this is not malfunction. This is because TCS and VDC are functioning normally.
^ VDC may not operate normally or ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp may turn on when driving special roads with extremely steep slant (banks on circuit road and so on.) However, it is not malfunction when returning to a normal state after restarting the engine. In that case, be sure to erase the memory of self-diagnosis. Refer to, "CONSULT-III Function (ABS)". Consult-III Function (ABS)
^ Yaw rate/side G sensor malfunction may occur under hard turn like spin turn, rapid acceleration turn, drift run, etc., when VDC function is OFF (VDC OFF switch is turned on). It is not malfunction if it is possible to return to a normal position after restarting engine. Then erase the memory of self-diagnosis. Refer to, "CONSULT-III Function (ABS)". Consult-III Function (ABS)
^ VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp may simultaneously turn on when low tire pressure warning lamp turns on. This is not a VDC system error but results from characteristic change of tires.
