SELF-DIAGNOSIS
Operation Procedure
1. After obtaining customer's information, perform BRC-32, "Basic Inspection" .
2. After turning ignition switch OFF, connect CONSULT-II connec-
tor to data link connector on vehicle.
3. Start engine and drive at Approx. 30 km/m (19 MPH) for Approx.
1 minute.
4. Stop vehicle. With engine at idle, touch “START”, “ABS” and
“SELF-DIAG RESULTS” on CONSULT-II screen in this order.
CAUTION:
“ABS” may not be displayed on the system selection
screen in the following case: When “START” was touched
just after engine is started or ignition switch is turned to
ON. In this case, repeat procedure from step 2.
5. Self-diagnosis result is displayed. (If necessary, touch “PRINT” to print self-diagnosis result.)
●If “NO MALFUNCTION” is displayed, check ABS warning lamp. Refer to BRC-32, "BASIC INSPEC-
TION 3 ABS/4WD WARNING LAMP INSPECTION" .
6. Check the faulty part indicated by the chart to repair or replace.
7. Start engine and drive at Approx. 30 km/m (19 MPH) for Approx. 1 minute.
CAUTION:
●Check again to make sure that there is NO FAILURE on other parts.
●If wheel speed sensor [SHORT] is detected, ABS warning lamp does not turn off until following
conditions: Vehicle is driven at Approx. 30km/h (19 MPH) for Approx. 1 minute, even in normal
conditions.
8. Turn OFF ignition switch to prepare for erasing memory.
9. Start engine. Touch “START,” “ABS,” “SELF-DIAG RESULTS,” and “ERASE MEMORY” on CONSULT-II
screen in this order to erase fault memory.
CAUTION:
If memory cannot be erased, proceed to 6.
10. Drive at Approx. 30 km/m (19 MPH) for Approx. 1 minute. Be sure ABS warning lamp is OFF.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
(Note 1): When vehicle was stuck on slippery road, and spin its wheels for Approx. 10 - 80 seconds (the period depends on vehicle
speed). ABS warning lamp may come on. However, this is not malfunction.
(Note 2): Repair short circuit in sensor. ABS warning lamp will come on when ignition switch is turned ON. According to self-diagnosis
operation procedure, drive vehicle at Approx. 30 km/m (19 MPH). Then check ABS warning lamp goes out in about one minute.
CAUTION:
If “ALL MODE 4WD” is not displayed on system selection screen, check the following: 4WD actuator and control unit, data link
connector harness, and No. Of CONSULT-II program card
