For Fast and Accurate Diagnosis
PRECAUTIONS FOR DIAGNOSIS
^ Before performing diagnosis, always read General Information to confirm general precautions.
^ If VDC/TCS/ABS control unit, steering angle sensor, steering system parts, suspension system parts, or tires have been replaced, or if wheel alignment has been adjusted, be sure to adjust neutral position of steering angle sensor before driving.
^ When replacing VDC/TCS/ABS control unit, be sure label on control unit are the same color.
^ After diagnosis is finished, be sure to erase memory. Refer to BRC-26, "ERASE MEMORY". Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes
^ When checking continuity and voltage between unit, be sure to check for disconnection, looseness, bend, or collapse of connector terminals. If any malfunction is found, repair or replace connector terminals.
^ For intermittent symptoms, possible cause is malfunction in harness, harness connector, or terminals. Move harness, harness connector, and terminals to check for poor connections.
^ If a circuit tester is used for the check, be careful not to forcibly extend any connector terminal. To use CONSULT-II to perform self-diagnosis of VDC/TCS/ABS control unit, active tests, or work support, first stop work, then connect CONSULT-II and select "ABS".
^ CONSULT-II self-diagnostic results are displayed without regard to occurrence timing. In some cases later ones (timing value is small) appear on former screen.
^ While self-diagnostic results of CONSULT-II shows malfunction, if CONSULT-II active test is performed, an engine system error may be indicated. In this case, start engine to resume normal screen.
^ VDC/TCS/ABS system electronically controls brake operation and engine output. The following symptoms may be caused by normal operations:
