ABS – Troubleshooting35B-12
4. INSPECTION PROCEDURE FOR TROUBLE SYMPTOMS
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 1
When the ignition key is turned to “ON” (engine stopped),
the ABS warning lamp does not illuminate.
Probable cause
The ABS-ECU turns the valve relay ON → OFF → ON for initial checking when
it is powered ON. Accordingly, the ABS warning lamp illuminates twice even if the
circuit between the ABS warning lamp and ABS-ECU is faulty.
The cause may be an open circuit in the lamp power supply circuit, a blown lamp,
an open circuit between the ABS warning lamp and ABS-ECU or between the ABS
warning lamp and the valve relay.

ABS – Troubleshooting35B-13
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 2
Even after the engine is started, the ABS warning lamp
remains illuminated.
Probable cause
The cause is probably a short-circuit in the ABS warning lamp illumination circuit.
Malfunction of combination meter

Malfunction of ABS-ECU

Malfunction of wiring harness (short circuit)
NOTE
This trouble symptom is limited to cases where ABS-ECU power supply is normal and the diagnosis
code is a normal diagnosis code.
NO
Check the harness wire, and repair if necessary.

Between ABS warning lamp relay and valve relay
NO

Disconnect the ABS-ECU connector B-25.

Disconnect the valve relay connector A-76.

Ignition switch: ON

Does the ABS warning lamp go off?YESReplace the ABS-ECU.
Does the ABS warning lamp stay illuminated when the connector
B-52 is disconnected and the ignition switch is turned to ON?YESReplace the combination meter.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 3
After the ignition key is turned to “ON”, the ABS warning
lamp blinks once, and when turned to “START”, it
illuminates. When returned to “ON”, the lamp flashes
once, and then switches off.
Probable cause
The ABS-ECU causes the ABS warning lamp to illuminate during the initial check.
During the initial check, the valve relay turns from off to on, off and back to on again.
If there is an open circuit in the harness between the ABS-ECU and the ABS warning
lamp, the lamp will illuminate only when the valve relay is OFF during valve relay
test, etc.
Malfunction of wiring harness or connector

ABS – Troubleshooting35B-14
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 4
When the ignition key is turned to “START”, the ABS
warning lamp does not illuminate.
Probable cause
The ABS-ECU is powered through IG2 which is turned off when the ignition key
is in START position. The ABS warning lamp is powered through IG1 which is not
turned off even when the ignition key is in START position. So the cause must be
a defective circuit on valve relay side.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE 5
Brake operation is abnormal
Probable cause
The varies depending on the driving conditions and the road surface conditions, so
problem diagnosis is difficult. However, if a normal diagnosis code is displayed, carry
out the following inspection.
Improper installation of wheel speed sensor

Incorrect sensor harness contact

Foreign material adhering to wheel speed sensor

WARNINGS REGARDING SERVICING OF SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) EQUIPPED VEHICLES
WARNING!
(1) The service personnel must thoroughly review this manual, and especially its GROUP 52B – Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) before beginning any service or maintenance of any component of the SRS or any SRS-related
component.
(2) When removing or installing the components indicated in the table of contents by an astarisk (*), use utmost care so
as not to apply any strong shock to SRS components.
NOTE
The SRS includes the following components: SRS-ECU, SRS warning lamp, air bag module, clock spring and interconnecting
wiring. Other SRS-related components (that may have to be removed/installed in connection with SRS service or maintenance) are
indicated in the table of contents by an asterisk (*).

Specific gravity of the battery fluid1.220 – 1.290 [20C]
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
FLUID LEVEL AND SPECIFIC GRAVITY CHECK
1. Inspect whether or not the battery fluid is between the
UPPER LEVEL and LOWER LEVEL marks.
2. Use a hydrometer and thermometer to check the specific
gravity of the battery fluid.
Standard value: 1.220–1.290 [20C]
The specific gravity of the battery fluid varies with the
temperature, so use the following formula to calculate
the specific gravity for 20C. Use the calculated value
to determine whether or not the specific gravity is
satisfactory.

CHASSIS ELECTRICAL – Battery54-4
CHARGING
1. When charging a battery while still installed in the vehicle,
disconnect the battery cables to prevent damage to
electrical parts.
2. The current normally used for charging a battery should
be approximately 1/10th of the battery capacity.
3. When performing a quick-charging due to lack of time,
etc., the charging current should never exceed the battery
capacity as indicated in amperes.
4. Determining if charging is completed.
(1) If the specific gravity of the battery fluid reaches
1.250–1.290 and remains constant for at least one
hour.
(2) If the voltage of each cell reaches 2.5–2.8 V and
remains constant for at least one hour.
Caution
1. Be careful since the battery fluid level may rise
during charging.
2. Keep all sources of fire away while charging
because there is a danger of explosion.
3. Be careful not to do anything that could generate
sparks while charging.
4. When charging is completed, replace the battery
caps, pour clean water over the battery to remove
any sulfuric acid and dry.
