Test Mode Procedure

TEST MODE PROCEDURE

1. WARNING LIGHT AND INDICATOR LIGHT BULB CHECK
a. Release the parking brake.

NOTICE: Before releasing the parking brake, set chocks to hold the vehicle for safety.

HINT:
^ When the ignition switch is on, check that the ABS, BRAKE, brake control warning lights and SLIP indicator light come on for approximately 3 seconds.

^ If the warning light and indicator light check result is not normal, proceed to troubleshooting for the ABS, BRAKE, brake control warning light circuits, and SLIP indicator light circuit.

If the indicator remains on, proceed to troubleshooting for the light circuit.

2. SENSOR SIGNAL CHECK BY TEST MODE (SIGNAL CHECK) (WHEN USING INTELLIGENT TESTER)
a. When having replaced the skid control ECU and/or yaw rate and deceleration sensor, perform zero point calibration of the yaw rate and deceleration sensor.

HINT:
^ If the ignition switch is turned from the ON position to the ACC or off during test mode (signal check), DTCs of the signal check function will be erased.
^ During test mode (signal check), the skid control ECU records all DTCs of the signal check function. By performing the test mode (signal check), the codes are erased if normality is confirmed. The remaining codes are the codes where an abnormality was found.

b. Procedures for test mode.
(1) Turn the ignition switch off.
(2) Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
(3) Check that the steering wheel is in the straight ahead position and move the shift lever to the P position.
(4) Turn the ignition switch on.

(5) Set the intelligent tester to test mode (select SIGNAL CHECK).

HINT: Refer to the intelligent tester operator's manual for further details.

(6) Check that the ABS and warning lights blink and CHECK VSC SYSTEM is displayed on the multi information display (test mode).

HINT: If the ABS and brake control warning light do not blink, inspect the TS and CG terminal circuit, ABS warning light circuit and/or brake control warning light circuit.

(7) ABS SENSOR CHECK

HINT: Check that the ABS warning light is blinking in test mode and perform the check.
