Basic InspectionNFS000QK
BASIC INSPECTION 1: BRAKE FLUID LEVEL, LEAK INSPECTION AND BRAKE PAD
1. Check fluid level in brake reservoir tank. If fluid level is low, refill brake fluid. Refer to BR-10, "CHECKING
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL" .
2. Check for leakage in brake tubes or hoses and around ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit). If
there is leaking or seeping fluid, check the following items.
If the brake tube connections at ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) are loose, tighten flare nuts
to the specified torque. Then inspect again and confirm that there is no leakage.
If flare nuts or screws of ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) are damaged and loose, replace
damaged parts. Then inspect again and confirm that there is no leakage.
If there is leakage at any location other than ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connections,
wipe away leakage with clean cloth. Then inspect again and confirm that there is no leakage.
If there is leakage from ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit), wipe away leakage with clean cloth.
Then inspect again. If there is still leakage, replace ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).
CAUTION:
ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) cannot be disassembled.
3. Check brake disc rotor and pads. Refer to BR-28, "
DISC ROTOR INSPECTION" (front disc rotor), BR-23,
"PAD WEAR INSPECTION" (front brake pad), BR-34, "DISC ROTOR INSPECTION" (rear disc rotor), BR-
29, "PAD WEAR INSPECTION" (rear brake pad).
BASIC INSPECTION 2: LOOSENESS OF POWER SYSTEM TERMINALS AND BATTERY
Check battery for looseness on battery positive/negative terminals and ground connection. Also make sure
battery voltage does not drop and alternator is normal.
BASIC INSPECTION 3: ABS WARNING LAMP, BRAKE WARNING LAMP, VDC OFF INDICATOR
LAMP AND SLIP INDICATOR LAMP
ON and OFF Timing for Warning Lamp and Indicator Lamp
: ON –: OFF
Note1: Brake warning lamp will turn on in case of parking brake operation (when switch is ON) or of brake fluid level switch operation
(when brake fluid is insufficient).
Note2: After starting engine, brake warning lamp is turned off.
Check the following items when unsuitable for an above condition.
ABS warning lamp: BRC-51, "Inspection 16: CAN Communication Circuit"
Brake warning lamp: BRC-51, "Inspection 16: CAN Communication Circuit" , BRC-48, "Inspection 12:

3. CHECK STOP LAMP SWITCH CIRCUIT
1. Turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector E30.
2. Check voltage between ABS actuator and electric unit (control
unit) harness connector E30 terminal 30 and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> Perform self-diagnosis.
NG >>
Repair or replace stop lamp switch circuit.
Perform the self-diagnosis, and make sure that the result shows NO DTC IS DETECTED.
Inspection 11: Yaw Rate/Side G Sensor CircuitNFS000QV
CAUTION:
Sudden turns (such as spin turns, acceleration turns), drifting, etc., when VDC function is off (VDC
OFF switch "ON") may cause yaw rate/side G sensor system to indicate a malfunction. However,
this is not a malfunction, if normal operation can be resumed after restarting engine. Then erase
memory of self-diagnosis.
If vehicle is on turn-table at entrance to parking garage, or on other moving surface, VDC OFF
indicator lamp may illuminate and CONSULT-II self-diagnosis may indicate yaw rate sensor sys-
tem malfunction. However, in this case there is no malfunction in yaw rate sensor system. Take
vehicle off of turn-table or other moving surface, and start engine. Results will return to normal.
And after doing spin turns or acceleration turns with VDC function is being off (VDC OFF switch
“ON”), too, the results will return to a normal condition by re-starting vehicle.
