Anti-Lock - RAV4
DESCRIPTION
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) consists of hydraulic actuator, solenoids, pump motor, ABS Electronic Control
Unit (ECU), relays, deceleration sensor (4WD) and wheel speed sensors. See Fig. 1
.
An ABS warning light is located on the instrument cluster. Warning light comes on for 3 seconds as a bulb test
when ignition is turned on. A primary check is performed after each engine start and initial vehicle speed
exceeds 6 MPH. An actuator noise is heard as vehicle is started or as speed exceeds 6 MPH. This is normal.
Anti-lock systems remains active until vehicle speed drops below 3 MPH.

DIAGNOSIS & TESTING
RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
ABS Warning Light Diagnostics
1. Ensure battery voltage is 12 volts. Turn ignition switch to ON position. ABS warning light should
illuminate, then go out after 3 seconds. If ABS warning light does not illuminate, check fuse, bulb, and
wiring harness. See ABS WARNING LIGHT
.
2. Remove short pin from DLC1. DLC1 is located in engine compartment, on left side of engine. See Fig.
2 . Using a jumper wire, jumper DLC1 terminals Tc and E1 . If a malfunction is detected, ABS warning
light will begin to flash a 2-digit Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). First number of blinks will equal first
digit in DTC. After a 1.5-second pause, second number of blinks will equal second digit in DTC.
3. If 2 or more DTCs are stored, there will be a 2.5-second pause between each DTC. After all DTCs are
flashed, there will be a 4 second pause and all DTCs will repeat. If ABS system is functioning properly,
ABS warning light will blink 2 times per second. For code definitions, see DTC DEFINITIONS
. For
DTC diagnosis, see DIAGNOSTIC TESTS
.
4. After replacing or repairing components, clear DTCs. If battery cables were disconnected during repairs,
all DTCs will be erased. If battery cables were not disconnected during repairs, see CLEARING DTCS
.
DTC DEFINITIONS NOTE: DO NOT start engine when retrieving DTCs.
NOTE: Speed sensor diagnostics and code retrieval use different DLC1 terminals to
access DTCs. If a speed sensor or speed sensor circuit problem is suspected,

DTC 31, DTC 32, DTC 33 & DTC 34: SPEED SENSOR CIRCUIT
Circuit Description
Speed sensor detects wheel speed and sends appropriate signals to ABS ECU. These signals are used to control
ABS system. Front and rear sensor rotors each have 48 teeth. When rotor rotates, magnetic field emitted by
permanent magnet in speed sensor generates an AC voltage. Since frequency of this AC voltage changes in
direct proportion to speed of rotor, frequency is used by ABS ECU to detect speed of each wheel. If
malfunction occurs in speed sensor circuit, ABS ECU cuts off current to ABS control relay and prohibits ABS
control.
DTC Detecting Condition
Detection of any of the following conditions may set DTCs 31-34:
Vehicle speed is 6 MPH or more and pulses are not input for 30 seconds.
Momentary interruption of speed sensor signal occurs at least 7 times during one ignition cycle.
Abnormal fluctuation of speed sensor signals when vehicle speed is 12 MPH or more.
Diagnostic Procedure
NOTE: To determine which speed sensor circuit is malfunctioning, see DTC
