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.

DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR WORK FLOW
Work FlowINFOID:0000000006222585
DETAILED FLOW
1.INTERVIEW FROM THE CUSTOMER
Clarify customer complaints before inspection. First of all, perform an interview utilizing BRC-61, "
Diagnostic
Work Sheet" and reproduce the symptom as well as fully under stand it. Ask customer about his/her complaints
carefully.Check symptoms by driving vehicle with customer, if necessary.
CAUTION:
Customers are not professional. Never guess easily like “maybe the customer means that...,” or “
maybe the customer mentions this symptom”.
>> GO TO 2.
2.CHECK SYMPTOM
Reproduce the symptom that is indicated by the customer, based on the information from the customer
obtained by interview. Also check that the sympt om is not caused by fail-safe mode. Refer to BRC-47, "
Fail-
safe".
CAUTION:
When the symptom is caused by normal operation, fully inspect each portion and obtain the under-
standing of customer that the sympt om is not caused by a malfunction.
>> GO TO 3.
3.PERFORM THE SELF-DIAGNOSIS
With CONSULT-III.
Perform self-diagnosis for “ABS”.
Is DTC detected?
YES >> Record or print self-diagnosis results. GO TO 4.
NO >> GO TO 6.
4.RECHECK THE SYMPTOM
With CONSULT-III.
1. Erase self-diagnostic results for “ABS”.
2. Perform DTC confirmation procedures for the error-detected system. NOTE:
If some DTCs are detected at the some time, det ermine the order for performing the diagnosis based on
BRC-50, "
DTC Inspection Priority Chart" [ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit)].
Is any DTC detected?
YES >> GO TO 5.
NO >> Check harness and connectors based on the information obtained by interview. Refer to GI-40,
"Intermittent Incident".
5.REPAIR OR REPLACE ERROR-DETECTED PART
 Repair or replace error-detected parts.
 Reconnect part or connector after repairing or replacing.
 When DTC is detected, erase self-diagnostic result for “ABS”.
>> GO TO 7.
6.IDENTIFY ERROR-DETECTED S YSTEM BY SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS
Estimate error-detected system based on symptom diagnosis and perform inspection.
Can the error-detected system be identified?

Diagnostic Work SheetINFOID:0000000006222586
Description
 In general, customers have their own criteria for a pr oblem. Therefore, it is important to understand the
symptom and status well enough by asking the customer about his/her concerns carefully. To systemize all
the information for the diagnosis, prepare the in terview sheet referring to the interview points.
 In some cases, multiple conditions that appear simultaneously may cause a DTC to be detected.
