How to Perform Trouble Diagnoses for Quick
and Accurate Repair
NBBR0098INTRODUCTIONNBBR0098S01The ABS system has an electronic control unit to control major
functions. The control unit accepts input signals from sensors and
instantly drives the actuators. It is essential that both kinds of sig-
nals are proper and stable. It is also important to check for conven-
tional problems: such as air leaks in booster lines, lack of brake
fluid, or other problems with the brake system.
It is much more difficult to diagnose a problem that occurs intermit-
tently rather than continuously. Most intermittent problems are
caused by poor electric connections or faulty wiring. In this case,
careful checking of suspicious circuits may help prevent the
replacement of good parts.
A visual check only may not find the cause of the problems, so a
road test should be performed.
Before undertaking actual checks, take a few minutes to talk with
a customer who approaches with an ABS complaint. The customer
is a very good source of information on such problems; especially
intermittent ones. By talking to the customer, find out what symp-
toms are present and under what conditions they occur. Start your
diagnosis by looking for ªconventionalº problems first. This is one
of the best ways to troubleshoot brake problems on an ABS con-
trolled vehicle.
Also check related Service bulletins for information.

SEF455Y
DESCRIPTIONNBEC0642S01ªIdle Air Volume Learningº is an operation to learn the idle air vol-
ume that keeps each engine within the specific range. It must be
performed under any of the following conditions:
IEach time IACV-AAC valve, throttle body or ECM is replaced.
IIdle speed or ignition timing is out of specification.
PRE-CONDITIONINGNBEC0642S02Before performing ªIdle Air Volume Learningº, make sure that all of
the following conditions are satisfied.
Learning will be cancelled if any of the following conditions are
missed for even a moment.
IBattery voltage: More than 12.9V (At idle)
IEngine coolant temperature: 70 - 99ÉC (158 - 210ÉF)
IPNP switch: ON
IElectric load switch: OFF
(Air conditioner, headlamp, rear window defogger)
On vehicles equipped with daytime running light systems, if
the parking brake is applied before the engine is started the
headlamp will not illuminate.
ICooling fan motor: Not operating
ISteering wheel: Neutral (Straight-ahead position)
IVehicle speed: Stopped
ITransmission: Warmed-up
For A/T models with CONSULT-II, drive vehicle until ªFLUID
TEMP SEº in ªDATA MONITORº mode of ªA/Tº system indi-
cates less than 0.9V.
For A/T models without CONSULT-II, drive vehicle for 10 min-
utes.
OPERATION PROCEDURENBEC0642S03With CONSULT-IINBEC0642S03011. Turn ignition switch ªONº and wait at least 1 second.
2. Turn ignition switch ªOFFº and wait at least 10 seconds.
3. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
4. Check that all items listed under the topic ªPRE-CONDITION-
INGº (previously mentioned) are in good order.
5. Turn ignition switch ªOFFº and wait at least 10 seconds.
6. Start the engine and let it idle for at least 30 seconds.
7. Select ªIDLE AIR VOL LEARNº in ªWORK SUPPORTº mode.
8. Touch ªSTARTº and wait 20 seconds.
9. Make sure that ªCMPLTº is displayed on CONSULT-II screen.
If ªINCMPº is displayed, ªIdle Air Volume Learningº will not be
carried out successfully. In this case, find the cause of the
problem by referring to the NOTE below.
10. Rev up the engine two or three times. Make sure that idle
speed and ignition timing are within specifications.
