ABS ACTUATOR AND ELECTRIC UNIT (CONTROL UNIT)
VDC function, TCS function, hill start assist function and
brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function. How-
ever, ABS function and EBD function are operated normally.
ABS FUNCTION
ABS warning lamp and VDC warning lamp in combinati on meter turn ON when a malfunction occurs in system
[ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit)]. The c ontrol is suspended for VDC function, TCS function, ABS
function, hill start assist function and brake limited sl ip differential (BLSD) function. The vehicle status
becomes the same as models without VDC function, TCS f unction, ABS function, hill start assist function and
brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function. However, EBD function is operated normally.
NOTE:
ABS self-diagnosis sound may be heard the same as in the normal condition, because self-diagnosis is per-
formed when ignition switch turns ON and when vehicle initially starts.
EBD FUNCTION
ABS warning lamp, brake warning lamp and VDC warning lamp in combination meter turn ON when a mal-
function occurs in system [ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit)]. The control is suspended for VDC
function, TCS function, ABS function, EBD function, hill start assist function and brake limited slip differential
(BLSD) function. The vehicle status becomes the sa me as models without VDC function, TCS function, ABS
function, EBD function, hill star t assist function and brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function.

Protection FunctionINFOID:0000000006222581
The VDC warning lamp, ABS warning lamp and brake warning lamp turns ON and DTC “C118E” may be
detected in self-diagnosis result of “ABS” when the br
ake pedal is excessively operated, such as air bleeding.
This is not a system malfunction because this occurs due to the temporary decrease in accumulator fluid pres-
sure. The system returns to normal condition when the accu mulator fluid pressure reaches the specified pres-
sure with the ignition switch ON and the VDC warning lamp, ABS warning lamp, and brake warning lamp turn
OFF. After these steps, erase self-diagnos is results for “ABS” with CONSULT-III.
