SELF-DIAGNOSIS
Operation procedure
1. After obtaining customer's information, performBRC-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.
1minute.
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
justafterengineisstartedorignitionswitchisturnedto
ON. In this case, repeat procedure from step 2.
5. Self-diagnosis result is displayed. (If necessary, touch “PRINT” to print self-diagnosis result.)
lIf“NO MALFUNCTION”is displayed, check ABS warning lamp. Refer toBRC-32, "BASIC INSPECTION
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:
lCheck again to make sure that there is NO FAILURE on other parts.
lIf wheel speed sensor [SHORT] is detected, ABS warning lamp does not turn off until following
conditions: Vehicle is driven at Approx. 30km/h 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.

2. Apply voltage of Approx. 12V voltage between terminals E70
No. 5 (G/R) and terminals E71 No. 7 (W/G) on ABS relay unit.
Measure motor voltage (terminal E70 No. 4 (R/Y) - Body
ground) using an oscilloscope and check motor counter electro-
motive force duration when operation stops.
CAUTION:
lBefore measuring time, check each part of ABS relay unit
and confirm motor relay is normal.
lTo prevent overheating, ABS motor should be driven no
longer than 4 seconds.
lMotor counter electromotive force duration is based on the
time at 20°C, in ambient temperatures, with 12V battery volt-
age. If battery voltage is low, time will be slightly shorter.

BASIC INSPECTION 1 BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND LEAKAGE INSPECTION
1. Check fluid level in brake reservoir tank. If fluid level is low, refill brake fluid.
2. Check area around brake piping and ABS actuator for leaks. If a leak or oozing is detected, check as fol-
lows:
lIf connections at ABS actuator are loose, tighten piping to the specified torque. Then check again for
leaks, and be sure there is no fluid leak.
lIf the flare nuts at the connections and the threads of the ABS actuator are damaged, replace the dam-
aged parts. Then check again for leaks, and make sure that there is no fluid leak.
lIf leak or oozing is detected except for ABS actuator connections, wipe it with clean cloth. Then check
again for leaks. If there is still leak or oozing, replace damaged part.
lIf leak or oozing is detected on ABS actuator, wipe with a clean cloth. Check again for leaks, and if
there is still leak or oozing, replace ABS actuator.
CAUTION:
ABS actuator body cannot be disassembled.
BASIC INSPECTION 2 INSPECTION FOR LOOSE POWER SUPPLY TERMINAL
Check battery for looseness on battery positive/negative terminals and ground connection.
BASIC INSPECTION 3 ABS/4WD WARNING LAMP INSPECTION
1. Be sure ABS warning lamp turns on when ignition switch is turned ON. If it does not turn on, check ABS
warning lamp harness.
2. Check 4WD warning lamp illuminates with ignition switch ON. If not so, check 4WD warning lamp path.
3. Be sure ABS warning lamp turns off after approximately 1 second when ignition switch is turned ON. If it
does not turn off, perform self-diagnosis.
4. Be sure 4WD warning lamp turns off after several seconds when engine is started. If it does not turn off,
perform self-diagnosis.
5. After driving the vehicle at Approx. 30km/h for a few seconds, check 4WD warning lamp and ABS warning
lamp do not illuminate.
6. After completing the self-diagnosis, always erase the diagnosis memory.
