5A-20 BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM

Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) System

ABS has the EBD function. EBD is a function which
controls braking force distribution of a front wheel and a
rear wheel, and makes brake fluid pressure of a rear
wheel the optimal. If the rate of a slip of a rear wheel
becomes large more than fixed compared with a front
wheel about the rate of a slip in order to perform
braking force distribution of a front wheel and a rear
wheel, the brake fluid pressure of a rear wheel will be
controlled. EBD enables it to always utilize the braking
power of a rear wheel for the maximum according to
the load change concerning the back axis by vehicles
loading states (No luggage, loading, etc.), deceleration,
etc. Brake fluid pressure control to a rear wheel is
performed by the EBD function which used the ABS
function without the mechanical proportioning valve.
C05L300016
Brake Pedal Travel
Vehicles equipped with the Anti-lock Brake System may
be stopped by applying normal force to the brake pedal.
Although there is no need to push the pedal beyond the
point where it stops or holds the vehicle, by applying
more force the pedal will continue to travel toward the
floor.
This extra brake pedal travel is normal.

General Diagnosis
General Information
ABS troubles can be classified into two types, those
which can be detected by the ABS warning lamp and
those which can be detected as a vehicle abnormality
by the driver.
In either case, locate the fault in accordance with the
“BASIC DIAGNOSTIC FLOWCHART” and repair.
Please refer to Section 5C for the diagnosis of
mechanical troubles such as brake noise, brake judder
(brake pedal or vehicle vibration felt when braking),
uneven braking, and parking brake trouble.

ABS Service Precautions
Required Tools and Items:

Box Wrench
 Brake Fluid

Special Tool
Some diagnosis procedures in this section require the
installation of a special tool.

5-8840-0366-0 High Impedance Multimeter
When circuit measurements are requested, use a
circuit tester with high impedance.

BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM 5A-21

Computer System Service Precautions
The Anti-lock Brake System and Electronic Brake-force
Distribution interfaces directly with the Electronic
Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU) which is a control
computer that is similar in some regards to the Engine
Control Module. These modules are designed to
withstand normal current draws associated with vehicle
operation. However, care must be taken to avoid
overloading any of the EHCU circuits. In testing for
opens or shorts, do not ground or apply voltage to any
of the circuits unless instructed to do so by the
appropriate diagnostic procedure. These circuits should
only be tested with a high impedance multimeter
5-8840-0366-0 or special tools as described in this
section. Power should never be removed or applied to
any control module with the ignition in the “ON”
position.
Before removing or connecting battery cables, fuses or
connectors, always turn the ignition switch to the “OFF”
position.

General Service Precautions
The following are general precautions which should be
observed when servicing and diagnosing the Anti-lock
Brake System and/or other vehicle systems. Failure to
observe these precautions may result in Anti-lock Brake
System and Electronic Brake-force Distribution
damage.
 If welding work is to be performed on the vehicle
using an electric arc welder, the EHCU and valve
block connectors should be disconnected before
the welding operation begins.
 The EHCU and valve block connectors should
never be connected or disconnected with the
ignition “ON”.
Note:
 If only rear wheels are rotated using jacks or drum
tester, the system will diagnose a speed sensor
malfunction and the “ABS and Brake” warning lamp
will illuminate. But actually no trouble exists. When
the DTC is not detected and the ABS and BRAKE
warning lamp is on, “How to erase code” is
performed and a ABS and BRAKE warning lamp
are off.
If the battery has been discharged
The engine may stall if the battery has been completely
discharged and the engine is started via jumper cables.
This is because the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) and
Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) System
requires a large quantity of electricity. In this case, wait
until the battery is recharged, or set the ABS and EBD
to a non-operative state by removing the fuse for the
ABS. After the battery has been recharged, stop the
engine and install the ABS fuse. Start the engine again,
and confirm that the ABS warning Lamp does not light.
Note on Intermittents
As with virtually any electronic system, it is difficult to
identify an intermittent failure. In such a case
duplicating the system malfunction during a test drive or
a good description of vehicle behavior from the
customer may be helpful in locating a “most likely”
failed component or circuit. The symptom diagnosis
chart may also be useful in isolating the failure. Most
intermittent problems are caused by faulty electrical
connections or wiring. When an intermittent failure is
encountered, check suspect circuits for:
 Suspected harness damage.
 Poor mating of connector halves or terminals not
fully seated in the connector body (backed out).
 Improperly formed or damaged terminals.

Test Driving ABS Complaint Vehicles
In case that there has been an abnormality in the
lighting pattern of “ABS” warning lamp, the fault can be
located in accordance with the “DIAGNOSIS BY “ABS”
WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATION PATTERN”. In case
of such trouble as can be detected by the driver as a
vehicle symptom, however, it is necessary to give a test
drive following the test procedure mentioned below,
thereby reproducing the symptom for trouble diagnosis
on a symptom basis:
1.
Start the engine and make sure that the “ABS” W/L
goes OFF. If the W/L remains ON, it means that
the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is stored.
Therefore, read the code and locate the fault.
Note: The DTC cannot be cleared if the vehicle speed
does not exceed about 6km/h (4mph) at DTC, even
though the repair operation is completed.
2. Start the vehicle and accelerate to about 30 km/h
(19 mph) or more.
3. Slowly brake and stop the vehicle completely.
4. Then restart the vehicle and accelerate to about 40
km/h (25 mph) or more.
5. Brake at a time so as to actuate the ABS and stop
the vehicle.
6. Be cautious of abnormality during the test. If the
W/L is actuated while driving, read the DTC and
locate the fault.
7. If the abnormality is not reproduced by the test,
make best efforts to reproduce the situation
reported by the customer.
8. If the abnormality has been detected, repair in
accordance with the “SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS” .
Note:

Be sure to give a test drive on a wide, even road
with a small traffic.
 If an abnormality is detected, be sure to suspend
the test and start trouble diagnosis at once.
