Test Mode Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. WARNING LIGHT AND INDICATOR LIGHT INITIAL CHECK 
    1. Release the parking brake.
      NOTE: Before releasing the parking brake, move the shift lever to P for safety.

      HINT:

      When the parking brake is applied or the brake fluid level is low, the brake warning light / red (malfunction) comes on.

    2. When the power switch is turned on (IG), check that the ABS warning, brake warning / red (malfunction), brake warning / yellow (minor malfunction), master caution indicator (VSC warning) and slip indicator lights come on for approximately 3 seconds.

    HINT:

    • If the skid control ECU stores any DTCs, the ABS warning, brake warning / red (malfunction), brake warning / yellow (minor malfunction), master caution indicator (VSC warning) and slip indicator lights will come on.
    • The master caution indicator light will come on and a warning message will be displayed on the multi-information display if the EBD system, BA system, or TRAC system is malfunctioning or if the ABS, VSC, electronically controlled brake system control cannot be performed.
    • If any of the indicators remains on or does not come on, proceed to troubleshooting for the light circuits listed below.

  2. SENSOR CHECK USING TEST MODE (SIGNAL CHECK) (When Using the Techstream) 
    NOTE: After replacement of the skid control ECU and/or yaw rate and acceleration sensor, perform zero point calibration of the yaw rate and acceleration sensor.

    HINT:

    • If the power switch is turned from on (IG) to on (ACC) or off during Test Mode (signal check), DTCs recorded during the sensor check will be erased.
    • During Test Mode (signal check), the skid control ECU records all DTCs detected in the sensor check. By performing Test Mode (signal check), the codes are erased if a normal condition is confirmed. The remaining codes are the codes where an abnormality was found.
    1. Procedure to enter the Test Mode
      1. Turn the power switch off.
      2. Check that the steering wheel is in the straight-ahead position.
      3. Check that the shift lever is in P.
      4. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
      5. Turn the power switch on (IG).
      6. Turn the Techstream on.
      7. Switch the skid control ECU to Test Mode using the Techstream. Enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRAC / Utility / Signal Check.
      8. Check that the ABS warning, brake warning / yellow (minor malfunction) and master caution indicator (VSC warning) lights come on for several seconds and then blink in Test Mode.

        HINT:

        If the ABS warning, brake warning / yellow (minor malfunction) and master caution indicator (VSC warning) lights do not blink, inspect the TS and CG terminal circuit and ABS warning, brake warning / yellow (minor malfunction) and master caution indicator (VSC warning) light circuits.

      1. Leave the vehicle in a stationary condition and release the brake pedal for 1 second or more, and quickly and continuously depress the brake pedal with a force greater than 98 N (10 kgf, 22 lbf) for 1 second.
      2. Check that the ABS warning light stays on for 3 seconds.

        HINT:

        • Confirm that the ABS warning light comes on.
        • While the ABS warning light stays on,, continue to depress the brake pedal with a force of 98 N (10 kgf, 22 lbf) or more.
        • The ABS warning light comes on for 3 seconds every time the preceding brake pedal operation is performed.
    4. Speed Sensor Check
      1. Drive the vehicle straight-ahead. Accelerate the vehicle to a speed of 45 km/h (28 mph) or more for several seconds and check that the ABS warning light goes off.

        HINT:

        • The sensor check may not be completed if wheelspin occurs.
        • The ABS warning light blinks when the sensor check has been completed and the brake pedal is depressed.
        • The ABS warning light comes on immediately if a malfunction is detected during the speed sensor check.
      2. Stop the vehicle.
        NOTE:
        • Before performing the speed sensor check, complete the acceleration sensor and master cylinder pressure sensor checks.
        • The speed sensor check may not be completed if the speed sensor check is started while turning the steering wheel or spinning the wheels.
        • After the ABS warning light goes off, if vehicle speed exceeds 80 km/h (50 mph), a sensor check code will be stored again. Decelerate or stop the vehicle before the speed reaches 80 km/h (50 mph).
        • If the sensor check has not been completed, the ABS warning light will blink while driving and the ABS will not operate.

        HINT:

        When the sensor check has been completed, the ABS warning light goes off while driving and blinks in the Test Mode pattern while the vehicle is stationary.

      3. Check the VSC sensor.

        HINT:

        Check that the brake warning / yellow (minor malfunction) and master caution indicator (VSC warning) lights are blinking in the Test Mode blinking pattern before performing the VSC sensor check.

        • If the skid control buzzer does not sound, check the skid control buzzer circuit (See SKID CONTROL BUZZER CIRCUIT ), then perform the sensor check again.
        • If the skid control buzzer still does not sound, the yaw rate sensor may be malfunctioning. Check for DTCs.
        • Make a 180° turn. At the end of the turn, the direction of the vehicle should be within 180° +/-5° of its start position.
        • Do not allow the wheels to spin.
        • Do not turn the power switch off while turning.
        • Do not move the shift lever to P while turning, but changing the vehicle speed, stopping, or driving in reverse is acceptable.
        • Complete the turn within 20 seconds.
    6. End of Sensor Check
      1. If the sensor check is completed, the ABS warning light blinks (Test Mode) when the vehicle is stopped and goes off while the vehicle is driving.
      NOTE:
      • When all the yaw rate sensor, acceleration sensor, speed sensor, and master cylinder pressure sensor checks are completed, the sensor check is completed.
      • If the sensor check is not completed, the ABS warning light will blink even while the vehicle is driving and the ABS will not operate.
