TEST ITEM
Solenoid Valve
NOTE:
The example shown is for the front right wheel. The procedure for the other wheels is the same as given
below.

When performing an active test of the ABS function, select the
main item for each test item. In addition, when performing an
active test of the VDC/TCS function, select the item menu for
each test item.

For the ABS solenoid valve, touch “UP” “KEEP” “DOWN”, and
for the ABS solenoid valve (ACT), touch “UP” “ACTUATOR UP”
“ACTUATOR KEEP”, and check to make sure that all solenoid
valve (in, out) are operating as given in the table below.
*: ON for 1 to 2 seconds after the touch, and then OFF
NOTE:

If active test is performed with brake pedal depressed, pedal stroke may change. This is normal.

“TEST IS STOPPED” is displayed approximately 10 seconds after operation starts.

After “TEST IS STOPPED” is displayed, touch “BACK” and perform the test from the Step 8.
ABS Motor
Touch “ON” and “OFF” on the screen. Make sure ABS motor relay
operates as shown in table below.
NOTE:

If active test is performed with brake pedal depressed, pedal
stroke may change. This is normal.

“TEST IS STOPPED” is displayed approximately 10 seconds
after operation starts.

For Fast and Accurate DiagnosisNFS000NH
PRECAUTIONS FOR DIAGNOSIS

Before performing diagnosis, always read precautions. Refer to BRC-11, "How to Proceed with Diagnosis"
.

If ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit), steering angle sensor, steering system parts or suspension
system parts have been replaced, or if alignment has been adjusted, be sure to adjust neutral position of
steering angle sensor before driving. Refer to BRC-6, "
Adjustment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral Posi-
tion" .

After diagnosis is finished, be sure to erase memory. Refer to BRC-25, "Self-Diagnosis" .

When checking continuity and voltage between units, be sure to check for disconnection, looseness,
bend, or collapse of connector terminals. If any malfunction is found, repair or replace connector termi-
nals.

For intermittent symptoms, possible cause is malfunction in harness, harness connector, or terminals.
Move harness, harness connector, and terminals to check for poor connections.

If a circuit tester is used for the check, be careful not to forcibly extend any connector terminal.

To use CONSULT-II to perform self-diagnosis of ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit), active tests,
or work support, first stop work, then connect CONSULT-II and select “ABS”.

While self-diagnostic results of CONSULT-II shows malfunction, if CONSULT-II active test is performed,
an engine system error may be indicated. In this case, start engine to resume the normal screen.

VDC/TCS/ABS system electronically controls brake operation and engine output. The following symptoms
may be caused by normal operations:
Symptom Symptom description Result
Motor operation noise This is noise of motor inside ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).
Slight noise may occur during VDC, TCS, and ABS operation.
Normal
When the vehicle speed goes over 20 km/h (12.5 MPH), motor and valves
operating noise may be heard. It happens only once after ignition switch is
ON. This is a normal status of the system operation check.
System operation check noise When engine starts, slight “click” noise may be heard from engine room.
This is normal and is part of system operation check. Normal
VDC/TCS operation
(SLIP indicator lamp blinking) TCS may activate momentarily if wheel speed changes when driving over
location where friction coefficient varies, when up/downshifting, or when
fully depressing accelerator pedal.
Normal
Cancel the VDC/TCS
function for the inspec-
tion on a chassis dyna-
mometer.
For inspection of speedometer or other instruments, press VDC OFF SW
to turn VDC/TCS function off.
When accelerator pedal is depressed on a chassis dynamometer (fixed
front-wheel type), vehicle speed will not increase. This is not normal. It is
result of TCS being activated by stationary front wheels. Warning lamp may
also illuminate to indicate “sensor system error”. This is also normal, and is
the result of the stationary front wheels being detected. To be certain,
restart engine, and drive vehicle at 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more. Make sure
warning lamp does not illuminate.
ABS operation
(Longer stopping distance) On roads with low friction coefficients, such as snowy roads or gravel
roads, vehicles with ABS may require a longer stopping distance. There-
fore, when driving on such roads, avoid overconfidence and keep speed
sufficiently low. Normal
Insufficient feeling of acceler-
ation Depending on road conditions, driver may feel that feeling of acceleration
is insufficient. This is because traction control, which controls engine and
brakes to achieve optimal traction, has the highest priority (for safety). As a
result, there may be times when acceleration is slightly less than usual for
the same accelerator pedal operation. Normal

After using the CONSULT-II SELF-DIAG RESULTS to determine the location of the malfunctioning wheel sen-
sor, check all areas to determine the component to be replaced.
