Abs With EBD & BA & TRAC & VSC System - Diagnosis: Pre-Check

  1. DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM 
    1. Check the warning lights and buzzer.
      1. Release parking brake pedal.
      2. When the ignition switch is turned ON, check that the ABS warning light, BRAKE warning light, VSC warning light, VSC OFF indicator light and SLIP indicator light goes on for approx. 3 seconds.
      3. When depressing the brake pedal repeatedly it may turn on the BRAKE warning light and buzzer.

      NOTE:
      • When the parking brake is applied or the level of the brake fluid is low, the BRAKE warning light is lit.
      • If the ECU stores DTC, ABS warning light, VSC warning light and VSC OFF indicator light is ON.
      • If the indicator check result is not normal, proceed to troubleshooting for the light circuit.

    1. The vehicle (sensor) status memorized during ABS and/or VSC operation or at the time of error code detection can be displayed using the LEXUS hand held tester.
    2. Only one record of freeze frame data is stored and the freeze frame data generated during ABS and/or VSC operation are constantly updated. Also, the number of the ignition switch's "ON" after the freeze frame data is stored can be memorized up to 31 and it can be displayed.
      NOTE: If the ignition switch "ON" operation exceeds 31 times, "31" appears on the display.
    3. If the diagnosis code abnormality occurs, the freeze frame data at the occurrence of the abnormality is stored but the ABS actuation data is deleted.

        • See the list of DTC on DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART .
        • If every sensor is normal, the normal code is output (A cycle of 0.25 sec. ON and 0.25 sec. OFF is repeated).
        • If 2 of more malfunctions are detected at the same time, the lowest numbered will be displayed 1st.
      3. After doing the check, disconnect the SST from terminals Ts and CG, TC and CG of DLC3 and turn the ignition switch OFF.

        SST 09843-18040

  6. In case of using LEXUS hand held tester: 

    VSC SENSOR SIGNAL CHECK (TEST MODE) 

    NOTE: When having replaced the yaw rate sensor, deceleration sensor and/or ECU5 perform zero point calibration of the yaw rate sensor and deceleration sensors (See step  7.). Make sure that this operation. should be done before starting the following.
    NOTE: If the ignition switch is turned from ON to ACC or LOCK during test mode. DTC will be erased.
    1. Hook up the LEXUS hand held tester to the DLC3.
    2. Do steps 5-  a,  b and  c.
    3. Read the DTC by following the prompts on the tester screen.
    NOTE: Please refer to the LEXUS hand held tester operator's manual for further details.
  7. IF NECESSARY, PERFORM ZERO POINT CALIBRATION OF YAW RATE AND DECELERATION SENSORS 
    NOTE:
    • When having replaced the yaw rate sensor, deceleration sensor or the ECU, make sure to perform yaw rate and deceleration sensor's zero point calibration. Be sure to complete this step 7. Once it is started.
    • During step 7., a not-replaced sensor also requires zero point calibration.
    NOTE:
    • While obtaining the zero point, do not give any vibration to the vehicle by tilting, moving or shaking it and keep it in a stationary condition. (Do not start the engine.)
    • Be sure to do this on a level surface (within an Inclination of 1 %).
    1. Clear the zero points of the yaw rate and deceleration sensors.
      1. Shift the shift lever to P range.
      2. Turn the ignition switch ON in stationary condition.
      3. Using SST, repeat a cycle of short and open between terminals Ts and CG of DLC3 4 times or more within 8 sec. Check that the VSC indicator light is lit indicating the recorded zero point is erased.

        SST 09843-18040

      4. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
    2. Obtain zero point of the yaw rate sensor.
      1. Make the terminals Ts and CG of DLC3 disconnected.
      2. Turn the ignition switch ON.
        Fig 11: Identifying Ts & CG Terminals Of DLC3
        G03386331Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002
        NOTE: The vehicle should be in a stationary condition with the shift lever in P range.
      3. Check that the VSC warning light goes off about 15 sec. after the ignition switch is turned ON.
        NOTE: Even if the ignition is not turned OFF in step (a) -  4 and remains ON, the yaw rate sensor zero point calibration can be completed. In this case, the VSC warning light is lit for about 15 sec. and then starts blinking. (Normal code)
      4. After ensuring that the VSC warning light remains OFF for 2 sec, turn the ignition switch OFF.
      NOTE: If the ignition switch is not turned OFF in step (a) -  4, make sure that the VSC warning light blinks for 2 sec. Then turn the ignition switch OFF.
    3. Perform deceleration sensor zero point calibration.
      NOTE: After step (b) (the yaw rate sensor zero point calibration), the VSC warning light goes off. At this time, if the vehicle is driven without performing step (c) (deceleration sensor zero point calibration), deceleration sensor zero point calibration malfunction will be defected and the VSC warning light will light up. Therefore, perform step (c) right after step (b).
      1. Using SST, connect the terminal Ts and CG of DLC3.

        SST 09843-18040

      2. Turn the ignition switch ON.
        NOTE: Place the vehicle in a stationary condition with the shift lever in P range.
      3. After turning the ignition switch ON, check that the VSC warning light is lit for about 4 sec. and then starts quick blinking at 0.13 sec. intervals.
      4. After ensuring the blinking of the VSC warning light for 2 sec, turn the ignition switch OFF.
      5. Remove the SST and make the terminals Ts and CG of DLC3 disconnected.
