Control System
SELF-DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
1. Collect information on the concern from the customer, and then
perform basic inspections.
2. Drive vehicle at approx. 30 km/h for approx. 1 minute.
3. Stop vehicle and start diagnosis.
4. Turn ignition switch "OFF.
5. Ground the self-diagnostic check terminal 4 on the data link
connector for CONSULT.
6. Turn ignition switch "ON" to start the self-diagnostic results
mode.
CAUTION:
Keep terminal 4 grounded during self-diagnosis. Do not
depress brake pedal. Do not start engine. (Self-diagnosis
would
not start.)
When SLlP indicator lamp does not start blinking, check
TCSfABS
control unit power supply circuit and ground
circuit.
7. The SLlP indicator lamp starts blinking to indicate the malfunc-
tion code No.
3 or 4 seconds after the self-diagnostic results
mode is started.
The indication terminates after 5 minutes. Turning the igni-
tion switch from
"OFF" to "ON" resumes blinking the indi-
cation.
During the SLIP indicator lamp operation shown above,
TCS
OFF indicator lamp and ABS warning lamp are lit.
8. Vsrify the location of the malfunction with "MALFUNCTION
CODUSYMPTOM
CHART", BR-36. Then make the necessary
repairs.
9. After the malfunctions are repaired, erase the malfunction
codes stored
in the control unit. Refer to "HOW TO ERASE
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS on the next page.
10. Rerun the self-diagnostic results mode to verify that the mal-
function codes have been erased.
When the malfunction codes have been erased, the start
code is only indicated.
11. Disconnect the check terminal from the ground. The self-diag-
nostic results mode is now complete.
12. Drive vehicle at approx. 30 km/h for approx. 1 minute, and then
check that the
TCS OFF indicator lamp, the SLlP indicator
lamp and the ABS warning lamp are OFF.
HOW TO READ SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS
(Malfunction codes)
Determine the code No. by observing the time and the fre-
quency that the SLlP indicator lamp flashes ON and OFF.
Refer to the next page.
When multiple malfunctions occur at a time, up to three code
numbers can
be stored; the latest malfunction will be indicated
first.
The indication begins with the start code No. 12. After that a
maximum of three code numbers appear in the order of the
latest one first. The indication then returns to the start code No.
12 to repeat.
The start code No.
12 is only indicated repeatedly when there
is no malfunction.

Fail-safe operation is not activated. A signal from control unit suspends TCS and ABS control operation. Brakes operate
conventionally and the vehicle operates in the same manner as a vehicle without the TCS. After specified battery voltage
resumes, the TCS
OFF indicator lamp and the ABS warning lamp go off, allowing for TCS and ABS control operation.
TCS operation only stops and fail-safe operation is activated, allowing for ABS control operation.
Malfunction is detected only when TCS is in operation.
When there are malfunctions in the self-diagnostic check terminal circuit (terminal
4 of the data link connector for CONSULT)
and SLlP indicator lamp circuit, fail-safe operation is not activated.
Some malfunctions in the
TCS/ABS
control unit cause the SLlP indicator lamp and the
ABS warning lamp to go off sepa-
rately.

mode and repair or replace faulty parts.
Start engine and drive vehicle at approx. 30
krn/h for approx.
1 minute to ensure that there is no other malfunction in the
system.
Turn ignition switch OFF to prepare for erasing the trouble
stored in memory.
Start engine and touch "START', "THROTTLE CONTROL",
"SELF-DIAG RESULTS" and "ERASE sequentially on the
CONSULT screen to erase the trouble stored in memory.

Self-diagnosis for Throttle Control Unit Control
System
SELF-DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
1. Turn ignition switch ON or start the engine to start self-diagnosis. g 2. The control unit LED comes on to indicate the malfunction code No.
3. Verify the location of the malfunction with "MALFUNCTION CODEISYMPTOM CHART", BR-42. Then
make the necessary repairs.
4. After the malfunctions are repaired, erase the malfunction codes stored in the control unit. Refer to "HOW EC
TO ERASE SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS" shown below.
5. Turn ignition switch OFF and then turn ignition switch ON or start the engine to verify that the malfunction AT
codes have been erased.
6. Verify that SLIP indicator lamp and TCS indicator lamp are OFF.
HOW TO READ SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS (Malfunction codes)
p
Determine the code No. by observing the time and the frequency that the throttle control unit LED blinks
ON and OFF. When multiple malfunctions occur at a time, all the code numbers can be stored. The indi-
cation begins with the start code
No. 12, followed by the stored malfunction codes. The smallest number
of the stored codes appears first and the others follow sequentially. The indication then returns to the start RS code No. 12 to repeat.
The malfunction code No. 55 is only indicated repeatedly when there is no malfunction.

HOW TO ERASE SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS (Malfunction codes)
I. With the throttle fully open, turn the neutral position switch OFF (or a position other than P and N).
2. Turn ignition switch-ON without starting the-engine. Then, turn the pa;k/neutral position switch ON (or P
or N} and release the acceleration pedal.
As for the following items, self-diagnostic results can be erased if the conditions in the chart are met. In
