sensor LEXUS LS430 2003 Factory Repair Manual

When there is a malfunction in the contact point of the terminals or installation problems with parts,
removal and installation of the suspected problem parts may return the system to the normal condition
either completely or temporarily.
In order to determine the malfunctioning area, be sure to check the conditions at the time the malfunction
occurred, such as by DTC output and the freeze frame data output, and record it before disconnecting
each connector or removing and installing parts.
Since the ABS with EBD & BA & TRAC & VSC systems may be influenced by a malfunction in the
other systems, be sure to check for DTCs in the other systems.
Be sure to remove and install the skid control ECU, ABS & TRAC actuator and each sensor with the IG
switch OFF unless specified in the inspection procedure.
When removing and installing the skid control ECU, ABS & TRAC actuator and each sensor, be sure to
check that the normal display is output in test mode inspection and in DTC output inspection after
installing all the parts.
After replacing the yaw rate sensor and/or the brake actuator assembly, make sure to perform yaw rate
sensor and deceleration sensor zero point calibration.
(see CALIBRATION
)
CAN communication system is used for the data communication between the skid control ECU (included
in the actuator), the steering angle sensor, and the yaw rate sensor (the deceleration sensor is included). If
there is trouble in the CAN communication line, the DTC in the communication line is output.
If the DTC in the CAN communication line is output, repair the malfunction in the communication line
and troubleshoot the ABS with EBD & BA & TRAC & VSC systems under the condition that data
communication is normal.
Since the CAN communication line has its own length and route, it can not be repaired temporarily with
the bypass wire, etc.

1.SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
HINT:
The skid control ECU is a single unit with ABS & TRACTION ACTUATOR.
The skid control ECU also works as a TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitor System) ECU.
The yaw rate sensor and deceleration sensor are combined and in a single unit. This unit
communicates with the skid control ECU through CAN communication.
a. ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
The ABS helps prevent the wheels from locking when the brakes are applied firmly or when
braking on a slippery surface.

Operation description
The skid control ECU receives the speed signal from each speed sensor to detect the slip condition

The solenoid valve controls the oil pressure of each wheel cylinder and splits the control power
properly between the front and rear wheels and the right and rear wheels.
Both of the ABS warning lamp and the brake warning lamp come on to indicate a malfunction in
the EBD system.
c. BA (Brake Assist)
The primary purpose of the brake assist system is to provide an auxiliary brake force to assist the
driver who cannot generate a large enough brake force during emergency braking, thus helping to
maximize the vehicle&#39;s brake performance.

Operation description
The skid control ECU receives the signal from the stop lamp switch and the oil pressure signal
from the master cylinder pressure sensor to determine whether brake assist is necessary or not. If
brake assist is deemed necessary, the ECU sends control signals to the pump motor and solenoid.
The pump and the solenoid valve then control the pressure applied to each wheel cylinder. The
ABS warning lamp comes on to indicate a malfunction in the brake assist system.
d. TRAC (Traction Control)
The TRAC system helps prevent the drive wheels from slipping if the driver presses down on the
accelerator pedal excessivel
y when starting off or accelerating on a slippery surface.

vehicle position with suspension control ECU via CAN communication, and oil pressure with the
pump and solenoid valve. The SLIP indicator lamp blinks when the system is operating. TRAC
OFF switch stops traction control operation.
e. VSC (Vehicle Stability Control)
The VSC system helps prevent the vehicle from slipping sideways as a result of strong front wheel skid or
stron
g rear wheel skid during cornering.

Fig. 8: ABS & TRACTION Actuator - Vehicle Stability Control
Courtesy of TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U.S.A., INC.
Operation description
The skid control ECU determines vehicle condition by receiving signals from the speed sensor, yaw rate
and deceleration sensor and steering angle sensor. The skid control ECU controls engine torque with the
ECM, vehicle position with suspension control ECU via CAN communication, and oil pressure with the
pump and solenoid valve. The warning light comes on and the buzzer sounds when the system is
operating.
2.ABS with EBD & BA & TRAC & VSC OPERATION
a. Skid control ECU calculates vehicle stability tendency based on the signal of sensors, speed sensor,
yaw rate and deceleration sensor and steering angle sensor. And it judges whether the control of
engine output torque by electronic control throttle and of wheel brake pressure by brake actuator
will operate or not by the calculation results.
b. The SLIP indicator blinks and the VSC buzzer sounds to inform the driver that the VSC system is
operating. The SLIP indicator also blinks when TRAC is operating, and the operation being
performed is displayed.
3.FAIL SAFE FUNCTION
a. When a failure occurs in the ABS with BA & TRAC & VSC systems, the ABS warning light and
the VSC warning light turns on and the ABS with BA & TRAC & VSC operations are prohibited.
In addition to this, when there is a failure that disables the EBD operation, the brake warning light
also comes on and the EBD operation is prohibited (see FAIL
-SAFE CHART ).
b. If some control is prohibited due to a malfunction during it&#39;s operation, that control will be cut off
gradually not to change stability of vehicle suddenly.

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 detected in the ECU data monitor function of the hand-held tester.
a. Turn the ignition switch off and connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
b. Turn the ignition switch on. Follow the on-screen directions on the hand-held tester to display the DATA
LIST and select areas where momentary interruption should be monitored.
HINT:
A momentary interruption (open circuit) cannot be detected for 3 seconds after the ignition switch is
turned on (initial check).

HINT:
If the hand-held tester&#39;s status remains open, check the continuity between the ECU and the
sensors, or between ECUs.
The OPEN display on the hand-held tester remains on for 1 second after the harness signal changes
from momentary interruption (open circuit) to normal condition.
c. While observing the screen, gently jiggle the connector or wire harness between the ECU and sensors, or
between ECUs.
Result: OPEN-screen display does not change.
HINT:
The connector and/or wire harness will be in momentary interruption (open circuit) if the chart fluctuates.
Repair or replace connector and/or wire harness as one of them is fault
