Brakes and Traction Control: Testing and Inspection

Inspection and Verification

WARNING: Before carrying out a road test, make sure the vehicle is safe to do so. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.

CAUTION: Diagnosis by substitution from a donor vehicle is NOT acceptable. Substitution of control modules does not guarantee confirmation of a fault and may also cause additional faults in the vehicle being checked and/or the donor vehicle.

NOTE:
Check and rectify basic faults before beginning diagnostic routines involving pinpoint tests.
1 Verify the customer concern.
- If a road test is necessary make sure the vehicle is safe to do so.
2 Visually inspect for obvious mechanical faults.





3 If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step.
4 Use the approved diagnostic system or a scan tool to retrieve any diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) before moving onto the symptom chart.
- Make sure that all DTCs are cleared following rectification
