TROUBLESHOOTING
How to proceed with troubleshooting
Perform troubleshooting in accordance with the procedure on the followin\
g page.
CUSTOMER PROBLEM ANALYSIS
Using the customer problem analysis check sheet for reference, ask the c\
ustomer in as much detail as
possible about the problem.
CHECK AND CLEAR THE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (PRECHECK)
If the TRAC indicator light lights up, and the TRAC control does not ope\
rate, the ECU stores diagnostic
trouble codes corresponding to the problem in memory.
Before confirming the trouble, first check the diagnostic trouble code for any\
malfunction codes stored in
memory. When there are malfunction codes, make a note of them, then clear them and proceed to ª
Problem Symptom Confirmationº.
PROBLEM SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION, SYMPTOM SIMULATION
Confirm the problem symptoms. If the problem does not reoccur, simulate the problem by initially checking
the circuits indicated by the diagnostic trouble code in step , using ªProblem simulation methodº.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHECK
Check the diagnostic trouble codes. If a malfunction code is output, proceed \
to ª Diagnostic Trouble
Code Chartº.
If the normal code is output, proceed to ª Problem Symptoms Chartº.
Be sure to proceed to ª diagnostic Trouble Code Chartº after steps and are completed.
If troubleshooting is attempted only by following the malfunction code sto\
red in the memory, errors could
be made in the diagnosis.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART
If a malfunction code is confirmed in the diagnostic trouble code check,\
proceed to the inspection proce-
dure indicated by the matrix chart for each diagnostic trouble code.
PROBLEM SYMPTOMS CHART
If the normal code is confirmed in the diagnostic trouble code check, perf\
orm inspection in accordance with
the inspection order in the problem symptoms chart.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Proceed with diagnosis of each circuit in accordance with the inspection\
order confirmed in and .
Determine whether the cause of the problem is in the sensor, actuators, wire harness and connectors or
the ECU.
\b SENSOR CHECK
Use the ABS warning light to check if each of the signals from speed sensors is \
being input correctly to
the ECU. Instructions for this check are given in the circuit inspection\
.
[10] REPAIRS After the cause of the problem is located, perform repairs by following the i\
nspection and replacement pro-
cedures in this manual.
[11] CONFIRMATION TEST
After completing repairs, confirm not only that the malfunction is eliminated\
, but also conduct a test drive
to make sure the entire TRAC system is operating correctly. And also check the ABS is operating correctly.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
BR03E±06
1. Care must be taken to replace each part properly as it could affect the \
performance of the brakesystem and result in a driving hazard. Replace the parts with parts of the same part number or
equivalent.
2. It is very important to keep parts and the area clean when repairing the\
brake system.
3. If the vehicle is equipped with a mobile communication system, refer to the precaution \
in the IN section.
DESCRIPTION
BR03F±03
The service brakes consist of a foot brake which changes rotational energy to therma\
l energy to stop the
vehicle while it is being driven and a parking brake to keep the vehicle from m\
oving while it is parked.
OPERATION
FOOT BRAKE
BR03G±06
When the brake pedal is depressed, a vacuum builds up in the booster whi\
ch amplifies the pedal force,
pressing on the piston in the master cylinder. The piston movement raises the hydraulic pressure in the
cylinder. This hydraulic pressure is then applied to each respective brake cylin\
der, and acts to press the
brake pads against the rotating discs. The resulting friction converts the ro\
tational energy to thermal ener-
gy, stopping the vehicle.

ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED HYDRAULIC COOLING FAN
Description
In this way system, the cooling fan ECU controls the hydraulic pressure ac\
ting on the hydraulic motor, thus
controlling the speed of the cooling fan steplessly in response to the c\
ondition of the engine and air conditioner.
Operation
The hydraulic pump is driven by a drive belt (V±ribbed belt). The sole\
noid valve adjusts the volume of oil
sent from the hydraulic pump to the hydraulic motor which drives the fan dir\
ectly, thereby controlling the fan
speed. Oil which has passed through the hydraulic motor is cooled by the oil coole\
r before returning to the reservoir
tank. The solenoid valve is controlled by the computer in accordance with the E/G\
rpm, water temp. and A/C
signals. CO±22
