EXCESSIVE ABS FUNCTION OPERATION FREQUENCY
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000001686375
1.CHECK START
Check front and rear brake force di stribution using a brake tester.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 2
NO >> Check brake system.
2.CHECK FRONT AND REAR AXLE
Make sure that there is no excessive play in the front and rear axles. Refer to front: FAX-6, "
On-Vehicle
Inspection and Service", Rear: RAX-6, "On-Vehicle Inspection and Service".
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 3
NO >> Repair or replace malfunctioning components.
3.CHECK WHEEL SENSOR AND SENSOR ROTOR
Check the following.
• Wheel sensor installation for damage.
• Sensor rotor installation for damage.
• Wheel sensor connector connection.
• Wheel sensor harness inspection.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 4
NO >> • Replace wheel sensor or sensor rotor. Refer to BRC-114, "
Removal and Installation".
• Repair harness.
4.CHECK ABS WARNING LAMP DISPLAY
Make sure that the ABS warning lamp is turned off af ter the ignition switch is turned ON or when driving.
Is the ABS warning lamp illuminated?
YES >> Perform self-diagnosis. Refer to BRC-24, "CONSULT-III Function (ABS)".
NO >> Normal

NORMAL OPERATING CONDITION
DescriptionINFOID:0000000001686381
Symptom Result
Slight vibrations are felt on the brake pedal and the operation noises occur, when VDC, TCS or ABS is acti-
vated. This is a normal condi-
tion due to the VDC,
TCS or ABS activation.
Stopping distance is longer than that of vehicles without ABS when the vehicle drives on rough, gravel, or
snow-covered (fresh, deep snow) roads.
The brake pedal moves and generates noises, when TCS or VDC is activated due to rapid acceleration or
sharp turn.
The brake pedal vibrates and motor operation noises occur from the engine room, after the engine starts and
just after the vehicle starts. This is normal, and it is
caused by the ABS op-
eration check.
Depending on the road conditions, the driver may experience a sluggish feel. This is normal, because
TCS places the highest
priority on the optimum
traction (stability).
TCS may activate momentarily if wheel speed changes when driving over location where friction coefficient
varies, when downshifting, or when fully depressing accelerator pedal.
The ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicato
r lamp and SLIP indicator lamp may turn ON when the vehicle is
subject to strong shaking or large vibration, such as when the vehicle is rotating on a turntable or located on
a ship while the engine is running. In this case, restart the
engine on a normal
road. If the normal con-
dition is restored, there
is no malfunction. At
that time, erase the self-
diagnosis memory.
VDC may not operate normally or the ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp
may illuminate, when running on a special road that is extremely slanted (e.g. bank in a circuit course).
A malfunction may occur in the yaw rate/side/decel G sensor system, when the vehicle turns sharply, such
as during a spin turn, axle turn, or drift driving, while the VDC function is off (VDC OFF indicator lamp illumi-
nated).
The vehicle speed will not increase even though the accelerator pedal is depressed, when inspecting the
speedometer on a 2-wheel chassis dynamometer.
Normal (Deactivate the
VDC/TCS function be-
fore performing an in-
spection on a chassis
dynamometer.)
VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp may simultaneously turn on when low tire pressure warn-
ing lamp turns on. This is not a VDC sys-
tem error but results
from characteristic
change of tire.

INTELLIGENT CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM
System DiagramINFOID:0000000001731809
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000001731810
• The Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) system automatic ally maintains a selected distance from the vehicle
ahead according to that vehicle's speed, or at the set speed, if the road ahead is clear.
• The ICC function has two cruise control modes and brake assist (with preview function).
• To activate or deactivate the ICC system and set the vehicle speed and vehicle-to-vehicle distance, use the
ICC steering switch.
• The operation status of the ICC system is indicated on the ICC system display of the combination meter.
VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE CONTROL MODE
• Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode, the vehicle can maintain the same speed as other vehicles without
the constant need to adjust the set speed as the dr iver would with a normal cruise control system.
• The system is intended to enhance the operation of the v ehicle when following the vehicle traveling in the
same lane and direction.
• If the ICC sensor integrated unit detects a slow er moving vehicle ahead, the system will reduce speed so
that the vehicle ahead can be followed at the selected distance.
• The system automatically controls the throttle and applies the brakes (up to 25% of vehicle braking power) if necessary.
• The detection range of the sensor is approximately 390 ft (120 m) ahead.
• Refer to Owner's Manual for Intelligent Cr uise Control System operating instructions.
CONVENTIONAL (FIXED SPEED) CRUISE CONTROL MODE
• Conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode is cruising at preset speeds.
• Refer to Owner's Manual for Intelligent Cruise Control System operating instructions.
BRAKE ASSIST (WITH PREVIEW FUNCTION)
• When the force applied to brake pedal exceeds a certain level, the Brake Assist is activated and generates a
greater braking force than that of a convent ional brake booster even with light pedal force.
• When the Preview Function identifies the need to apply the sudden brake by sensing the vehicle ahead in the same lane and the distance and relative speed from it, it applies the brake pre-pressure before driver
depresses the brake pedal and improves brake response by reducing its free play.
• Refer to Owner's Manual for BRAKE ASSIST (WITH PREVIEW FUNCTION) operating instructions.
