Inspection Procedure

  1. READ VALUE OF INTELLIGENT TESTER (VEHICLE SPEED SIGNAL) 
    1. Operate the intelligent tester according to the step on the display and select "DATA LIST".

      Skid control ECU with actuator 

      ITEM AND NORMAL CONDITION

      Item Measurement Item/Range (Display) Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      (FR/FL/RR/RL) Wheel Speed Vehicle speed/Min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), Max.: 255 km/h (158 mph) Almost the same as actual speed (When driving) -

      OK: Vehicle speed display on the tester is almost the same as the actual vehicle speed. 

    NG : GO TO BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM 

    OK : GO TO NEXT STEP 

  2. CHECK COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 
    1. Disconnect the C6 meter connector.
    2. Using an oscilloscope, check the signal waveform of the meter.
      TESTER CONNECTION AND VEHICLE CONDITION

      Tester Connection Tool setting Vehicle condition
      C6-25 - Body ground 5V/DIV., 20 msec./DIV. Driving at approx. 20 km/h (12.4 mph)

      OK: As shown in the illustration.

      HINT:

      As vehicle speed increases, the cycle of the signal waveform narrows.

    NG : Go to step 3 

    OK : REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 

  3. CHECK WIRE HARNESS (COMBINATION METER - BRAKE ACTUATOR) 
    1. Disconnect the C6 meter connector.
    2. Disconnect the S1 ECU connector.
    3. Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.

      Standard resistance 

      TESTER CONNECTION AND SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      C6-25 - S1-26 Below 1 Ω
      C6-25 - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher

    NG : REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR 

    OK : GO TO NEXT STEP 

  4. CHECK BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY (SKID CONTROL ECU WITH ACTUATOR) 
    1. Disconnect the S1 ECU connector.
    2. Measure the voltage of the wire harness side connector.

      Standard voltage 

      TESTER CONNECTION AND SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      S1-26 - Body ground Ignition switch ON 10 to 14 V

    3. Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connector.

      Standard resistance 

      TESTER CONNECTION AND SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      S1-2 - Body ground Below 1 Ω

    NG : REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 

    OK : REPLACE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY
