Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Toyota Land Cruiser. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Perform zero point calibration of the yaw rate sensor (See  PRE-CHECK   ). 
    1. Go to next step.
  2. Is DTC still output? 

    Check the DTC PRE-CHECK 

    1. NO: END. 
    2. YES: Go to next step. 
  3. Check output value of the yaw rate sensor. 

    In case of using the hand-held tester: 

    PREPARATION: 

    1. Remove the 2 bolts and yaw rate sensor with connectors still connected.
    2. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
    3. Turn the ignition switch ON and push the hand-held tester main switch ON.
    4. Select the DATALIST mode on the hand-held tester.

    CHECK: 

    Check that the yaw rate value of the yaw rate sensor displayed on the hand-held tester changes. Place the yaw rate sensor vertically to the ground and turn the sensor pivoted on its center.

    OK: 

    Yaw rate value must be changing. 

    In case of not using the hand-held tester: 

    PREPARATION: 

    1. Remove the yaw rate sensor with the connector still connected to it.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

      CHECK: 

      Measure voltage between terminals YAW2 (1) - GYAW (5), and terminals YD (6) - GYAW (5) of the yaw rate sensor.

      OK: 

      YAW RATE SENSOR TERMINALS VOLTAGE

      Terminals 1 and 5 (YAW2 - GYAW) About 2.42 V to 2.58 V
      Terminals 6 and 5 (YD - GYAW) About 4.5 V to 5.3 V

    1. NG: Replace yaw rate sensor. 
    2. OK: Go to next step. 
  4. Check voltage between terminals YD and GND of ABS & BA & TRAC & VSC ECU. 

    PREPARATION: 

    Remove the ABS & BA & TRAC & VSC ECU with connectors still connected.

    CHECK: 

    1. Turn the ignition switch ON.
    2. Measure voltage between terminals YD and GND of the ABS & BA & TRAC & VSC ECU.

      OK: 

      Voltage: 4.5 to 5.3 V

    1. OK: Check and replace ABS & BA & TRAC & VSC ECU. 
    2. NG: Go to next step. 
  5. Check for open and short circuit in harness and connector between yaw rate sensor and ABS & BA & TRAC & VSC ECU (See  HOW TO USE THE DIAGNOSTIC TABLE AND INSPECTION  ). 
    1. NG: Repair or replace harness or connector. 
    2. OK: Check and replace ABS & BA & TRAC & VSC ECU.
