DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE CHART

Step	Check	Yes	No
1 CHECK VDCCM&H/U INPUT VOLTAGE. Turn the ignition switch to OFF. Disconnect the connector from the VDCCM&H/U. Turn the ignition switch to ON. Measure the voltage between VDCCM&H/U connector and chassis ground. Connector & terminal (B310) No. 23 (+) - Chassis ground (-): (B310) No. 28 (+) - Chassis ground (-):	Is the voltage 10 - 15 V?	Go to step 2.	Repair the VDCCM&H/U power supply circuit.
2 CHECK INSTALLATION OF MOTOR GROUND.	Is the motor ground terminal installation bolt tightened 33 N.m (3.4 kgf-m, 24.3 ft-lb)?	Go to step 3.	Tighten the motor ground terminal installation bolt.
3 CHECK VDCCM&H/U GROUND CIRCUIT. Turn the ignition switch to OFF. Measure the resistance between VDCCM&H/U connector and chassis ground. Connector & terminal (B310) No. 25 - Chassis ground: (B310) No. 22 - Chassis ground:	Is the resistance less than 10 Ω?	Go to step 4.	Repair the VDCCM&H/U ground harness.
4 CHECK VDCCM&H/U MOTOR RELAY. Measure the resistance between VDCCM&H/U connector terminals. Terminals No. 23 - No. 22:	Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more?	Go to step 5.	Replace the VDCCM&H/U. < Ref. to VDC CONTROL MODULE AND HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT (VDCCM&H/U) . >
5 CHECK POOR CONTACT OF CONNECTORS. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.	Is there poor contact of connector between generator, battery and VDCCM&H/U?	Repair the connector.	Go to step 6 .
6 CHECK VDCCM&H/U. Connect all connectors. Clear the memory. < Ref. to CLEAR MEMORY MODE . > Perform the Inspection Mode. < Ref. to INSPECTION MODE . > Read the DTC.	Is the same DTC displayed?	Replace the VDCCM&H/U. < Ref. to VDC CONTROL MODULE AND HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT (VDCCM&H/U) . >	Go to step 7 .
7 CHECK OTHER DTC DETECTION.	Is any other DTC displayed?	Perform the diagnosis according to DTC. < Ref. to LIST OF DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) . >	Temporary poor contact occurs. NOTE: Though the ABS warning light remains on at this time, this is normal. Drive the vehicle at 12 km/h (7 MPH) or more in order to turn ABS warning light off. Be sure to drive the vehicle and check that the warning light goes off.
