Test Mode Procedure

When having replaced the master cylinder solenoid and/or yaw rate and deceleration sensor, perform zero point calibration of the yaw rate and deceleration sensor.

HINT:

• If the ignition switch is turned from the ON to the ACC or LOCK position during test mode, DTCs of the signal check function will be erased.
• During test mode, the ECU records all DTCs of the signal check function. By performing the signal check, the codes are erased if normality is confirmed. The codes left over are the codes where an abnormality was found.

1. Turn the ignition switch off.
2. Check that the steering wheel is in the straight-ahead position and move the shift lever to the P position.
3. Using SST, connect terminals TS and CG of the DLC3.

   SST 09843-18040

4. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.

4. Stop the vehicle.
   NOTE:

   • Before performing the speed sensor signal check, complete the deceleration sensor, master cylinder pressure sensor, center diff. lock detection switch and L4 detection switch signal checks.
   • The speed sensor signal check may not be completed if the speed sensor signal check is started while turning the steering wheel or spinning the wheels.
   • After the ABS warning light goes off, if the vehicle speed exceeds 50 mph (80 km/h), signal check code will be stored again. Decelerate or stop before the speed reaches 50 mph (80 km/h).
   • If the signal check has not been completed, the ABS warning light blinks while driving and the ABS system does not operate.

   HINT:

   When the signal check has been completed, the ABS warning light goes off while driving and blinks in the test mode pattern while stationary.

   SST 09843-18040

2. Read the number of blinks of the ABS warning light.

   HINT:

   • See the list of DTC (refer to step  11).
   • If every sensor is normal, the normal system code is output. (A cycle of 0.25 second ON and 0.25 second OFF is repeated.)
