Inspection Procedure

  1. READ VALUE OF HAND-HELD TESTER (VEHICLE SPEED SIGNAL) 
    1. Operate the hand-held tester according to the steps on the display and select the "DATA LIST".

    ABS: 

    DATA LIST DISPLAY

    Item Measurement Item/Range (Display) Normal Condition
    (FR/FL/RR/RL) SPD Vehicle speed / Min.: 0 km/h (0 mph), Max.: 326 km/h (202 mph) Almost same as actual speed (When driving)

    OK: 

    Vehicle speed displayed on the tester is almost the same as the actual vehicle speed. 

    NG: GO TO BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM (SEE  ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED BRAKE SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS  ) 

    OK: Go to next step. 

  2. INSPECT COMBINATION METER ASSY 

    INSPECTION USING OSCILLOSCOPE 

    1. Check the input signal waveform.
      1. Remove the combination meter assy.
      2. Connect the oscilloscope to the terminals C10-9 and body ground.

      3. Check the signal waveform according to the condition in the table below.
    WAVEFORM REFERENCE

    Item Condition
    Tool setting 5 V/DIV, 20 ms/DIV
    Vehicle condition Driving at approx. 20 Km/h (12 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 ASSY (SEE  INSTRUMENT PANEL/METER  ) 

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ABS & TRACTION ACTUATOR ASSY (VSC) - COMBINATION METER ASSY) (SEE  INTRODUCTION  ) 
    1. Disconnect the C10 and S8 connectors.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

    Standard: 

    TESTER CONNECTOR SPECIFIED CONDITION

    Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
    C10-9 - S8-22 Always Below 1Ω
    C10-9 - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step. 

  4. INSPECT ABS & TRACTION ACTUATOR ASSY (VSC) 
    1. Disconnect the S8 connector.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

    Standard: 

    TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION

    Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
    S8-22 - Body ground Power switch ON (IG) 10 to 14 V

    NG: REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSY (SEE  INSTRUMENT PANEL/METER  ) 

    OK: GO TO BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM (SEE  ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED BRAKE SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS  )
