Inspection Procedure

NOTE: When replacing the skid control ECU, perform initialization of linear solenoid valve and calibration (see INITIALIZATION  ).
  1. CHECK STOP LIGHT SWITCH OPERATION 
    1. Check that the stop light comes on when the brake pedal is depressed and turns off when the brake pedal is released.

      OK 

      PEDAL CONDITION REFERENCE

      Pedal Condition Stop Light Condition
      Brake pedal depressed Turns on
      Brake pedal released Turns off

      HINT:

      Check the stop light bulb as it may have burnt out.

    NG : Go to step   4 

    OK : GO TO NEXT STEP 

  2. CHECK SKID CONTROL ECU (STP VOLTAGE) 
    1. Measure the voltage of the connector.

      HINT:

      Measure the voltage from behind the connector with the connector connected to the skid control ECU.

      Standard voltage 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Result 

      RESULT REFERENCE

      Result Proceed to
      DTC is not output A
      DTC is output B

    B : REPLACE SKID CONTROL ECU 

    A : PROCEED TO NEXT CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE 

  4. INSPECT STOP LIGHT SWITCH ASSEMBLY 
    1. Disconnect the stop light switch connector.
    2. Measure the resistance of the switch.

      Standard resistance 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      1 - 2 Switch pin not pushed Below 1 Ω
      1 - 2 Switch pin pushed 10 kΩ or higher

  5. CHECK WIRE HARNESS (SKID CONTROL ECU - STOP LIGHT SWITCH) 
    1. Disconnect the S8 ECU connector.
    2. Disconnect the S16 switch connector.
    3. Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.

      Standard resistance 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      S8-14 (STP) - S16-1 Below 1 Ω

    NG : REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR
