CIRCUIT OPERATION
The TCL automatically goes to ON, when the
ignition is turned to the "ON" position. To deacti-
vate the TCL, press the TCL switch. To reactivate
the TCL , press the TCL switch again.
ABS/TCL-ECU send the illumination signal of
"TCL OFF" indicator light and TCL work indicator
light to the combination meter via the CAN com-
munication.
ABS/TCL-ECU operates the "TCL OFF" indicator
light and the TCL work indicator light for three
seconds after the ignition switch is turned "ON"
position for bulb check.

NOTE: If you press the TCL switch to deactivate the
TCL and then keep the TCL switch pressed for about
10 seconds, an error prevention function will auto-
matically reactivate the TCL. If you then still wish to
deactivate the TCL, press the TCL switch again to
deactivate it.NOTE: If the ABS-8 ECU or the active wheel
speed sensor are disconnected, or if the wiring is
an open/ short circuit, the ABS 8 ECU will shut
off power supply to the respective wheel speed
sensor. All other wheel speed sensors will oper-
ate normally. To restore the power supply, the
ignition switch must be turned to the "OFF" posi-
tion then to the "ON" position again.

STEP 4. Retest the system
Q: Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position. Do the
"TCL OFF" indicator light and the TCL work indicator
light illuminate for three seconds, and then go out after
the engine starts?
YES : The procedure is complete.
NO : . Return to Step 1.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 5: When the TCL Switch is Pushed On, TCL does not Cancel.
NOTE: If the ABS-8 ECU or the active wheel
speed sensor are disconnected, or if the wiring is
an open/ short circuit, the ABS 8 ECU will shut
off power supply to the respective wheel speed
sensor. All other wheel speed sensors will oper-
ate normally. To restore the power supply, the
ignition switch must be turned to the "OFF" posi-
tion then to the "ON" position again.
.
CIRCUIT OPERATION
ABS/TCL-ECU terminal 21 is grounded every time
the TCL switch is pressed. ABS/TCL-ECU monitors
this operation state and turns the TCL ON or OFF.
.
COMMENT
The cause is probably an open-circuit in the TCL
switch circuit.
.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
Malfunction of the TCL switch.
Damaged harness or connector.
Malfunction of the ABS/TCL-ECU.
DIAGNOSIS
Required Special Tools:
MB991223: Harness Set
MB991219: Inspection Test Harness

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCL) DIAGNOSIS
TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCL)13C-29
STEP 1. Measure the resistance at ABS/TCL-ECU
connector A-02.
(1) Disconnect the ABS/TCL-ECU connector A-02.
(2) Measure the resistance at the ABS/TCL-ECU wiring
harness-side connector A-02 using the Inspection test
harness MB991219 (by inserting probe) and body ground.
NOTE: The special tool (Inspection test harness)
MB991219 for connector pin contact pressure should be
used. The test probe should never be forcibly inserted, as it
may cause a defective contact.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "OFF" position.
(4) Measure the resistance by probing ABS/TCL-ECU
connector A-02 terminal 21 (using inspection test harness
MB991219) and ground.
NOTE: The special tool (Inspection test harness)
MB991219 for connector pin contact pressure should be
used. The test probe should never be forcibly inserted, as it
may cause a defective contact.
When the TCL switch is not pressed, the resistance
should indicate an open circuit (more than 2 ohms).
When the TCL switch is pressed, the resistance should
measure 2 ohms or less.
(5) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
(6) Disconnect inspection test harness MB991219.
(7) Connect the ABS/TCL-ECU connector A-02.
Q: Is the resistance value more than 2 ohms when the TCL
switch is not pressed, and is the resistance value less
than 2 ohms when the TCL switch is pressed?
YES : Go to Step 6.
NO : Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check the TCL switch.
(1) Remove the TCL switch. (Refer to P.13C-49).
(2) Connect an ohmmeter to the TCL switch between terminals
1 and 2.
(3) Check for continuity between terminals 1 and 2 when the
TCL switch is operated.
There is no continuity between terminals 1 and 2 when
the TCL switch is not pressed.
There is continuity between terminals 1 and 2 when the
TCL switch is pressed.
Q: Is there no continuity between terminals 1 and 2 when
the TCL switch is not pressed, and is there continuity
when the TCL switch is pressed?
YES : Install the TCL switch. (Refer to P.13C-49). Then go
to Step 3.
NO : Replace the TCL switch. (Refer to P.13C-49). Then
go to Step 7.

STEP 3. Check ABS/TCL-ECU connector A-02,
intermediate connector C-29 and TCL switch connectors
C-131 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or
terminals pushed back in the connector.
Q: Are there connectors and terminals in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Repair or replace the faulty connector. (Refer to
GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection
P.00E-2). Then go to Step 7.
