Check for Intermittent Problems

BRAKE CONTROL / DYNAMIC CONTROL SYSTEMS: VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM: CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS

1. CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS
HINT:
A momentary interruption (open circuit) in the connectors and/or wire harness between the sensors and ECUs can be monitored using the ECU data monitor function of the Techstream.

(a) Turn the engine switch off.
(b) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(c) Turn the engine switch on (IG).
(d) Turn the Techstream on.
(e) Enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRAC / Data List.
(f) Select areas where momentary interruption should be monitored.

ABS/VSC/TRAC





HINT:
- A momentary interruption (open circuit) cannot be detected for 3 seconds after the engine switch is turned on (IG) (initial check).
- If the ERROR display remains on, check the continuity between the ECU and the sensors, or between ECUs.
- The ERROR display remains on for 1 second after the harness signal changes from momentary interruption (open circuit) to normal condition.









(g) While observing the screen, gently jiggle the connector or wire harness between the ECU and sensors, or between ECUs. If the display changes, the connector and/or wire harness is in momentary interruption (open circuit). Repair or replace the connector and/or wire harness, as one of them is faulty.
