Abs & Traction Control System: Pre-Check

DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
1. Check the indicator.
  When the ignition switch is turned ON, check that the ABS warning light, TRAC OFF indicator light and SLIP indicator light comes on for 3 seconds.
  
  HINT:
  
  If the indicator check result is not normal, proceed to the troubleshooting for the ABS warning light circuit, TRAC OFF indicator light circuit and SLIP indicator light circuit (See ABS Warning Light Circuit , TRAC OFF Indicator, TRAC Cut Switch Circuit , SLIP Indicator Light Circuit ).

  3. Turn the ignition switch ON.
  4. Read the DTC from the ABS warning light and TRAC OFF indicator light on the combination meter.
    HINT:
    - If no code appears, inspect the diagnostic circuit or ABS warning light circuit, TRAC OFF indicator light circuit (See ABS Warning Light Circuit , Tc Terminal Circuit or TRAC OFF Indicator, TRAC Cut Switch Circuit ).
    - As an example, the blinking patterns of the normal code and codes 11 and 21 are shown in Fig 4.
  5. Codes are explained in the code table on DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART .
  6. After completing the check, disconnect terminals Tc and E₁ of the DLC1 or DLC2, and turn off the display.
    If 2 or more malfunctions are indicated simultaneously the lowest numbered DTC will be displayed first.

  3. Start the engine.
  4. Check that the ABS warning light blinks.
    HINT:
    
    If the ABS warning light does not blink, inspect the ABS warning light circuit (See ABS Warning Light Circuit ).
  5. Drive the vehicle straight forward.
    HINT:
    
    Drive the vehicle faster than 45 km/h (28 MPH) for several seconds.
  6. Stop the vehicle.

  8. Read the number of blinks of the ABS warning light.
    HINT:
    
    - See the list of DTCs in Figure.
    
    - If 2 or more malfunctions are indicated simultaneously, the lowest numbered code will be displayed first.
    
    - If every sensor is normal, the normal code is output (A cycle of 0.25 seconds ON and 0.25 seconds OFF is repeated).
