display LEXUS LS430 2003 Factory User Guide

HINT:
The blinking pattern of the ABS warning lamp and the "VSC Test" display on the multi-
information do not change. When the sensor is normal and in the test mode, if the above conditions
are met, the check is completed.

c. CHECK THE MASTER CYLINDER PRESSURE SENSOR
1. Leaving the vehicle in a stationary condition engine is off and the brake pedal in a free
condition for 1 second. or more, continue to quickly depress the brake pedal with a force of
98 N (10 kgf, 22 lbf) or more for 1 second, or more.
HINT:
At this time, the ABS warnin
g light stays on for 3 seconds.

HINT:
The turning direction is not important.
Turning should be completed within 20 seconds. However, it is possible to change the
vehicle speed, stop or move backward.
2. Stop the vehicle and shift the shift lever to the P position, check that the skid control buzzer
sounds for 3 sec.
HINT:
If the skid control buzzer sounds, the sensor check is completed normally.
If the skid control buzzer does not sound, check the skid control buzzer circuit (see SKID
CONTROL BUZZER CIRCUIT ), then perform the sensor check again.
If the skid control buzzer still does not sound, there is a malfunction in the VSC sensor, so
check the DTC.
Drive the vehicle in a 180° circle. At the end of the turn, the direction of the vehicle should
be within 180° +/- 5° of its start position.
Do not spin the wheels.
Even if the VSC sensor check is completed normally, the multi-information displays "VSC
Test" (test mode).

If the speed sensor check is completed, the ABS warning lamp does not come on while driving and
blinks at test mode when the vehicle stops.
g. END OF SENSOR CHECK
1. If the sensor check is completed, the ABS warning lamp blinks (test mode) when the vehicle
stops and the ABS warning lamp is off when the vehicle is driving.
h. READ TEST MODE CODE
1. Using hand-held tester, check the DTCs in the test mode. (Refer to the step i)
HINT:
The test mode codes and DTCs are displayed.
If the ABS is normal, the ABS warning lamp comes on for 0.25 seconds and goes off for
0.25 seconds repeatedly.
If the VSC system is normal, the multi-information displays "VSC OK".

a. If the skid control ECU detects a malfunction, the ABS, BRAKE, VSC warning (Multi-information
display) and TRAC OFF indicator light will come on in accordance with the trouble area to warn
the driver.
The table below indicates which lights come on when there is a malfunction in a particular function.

The DTCs are simultaneously stored in memory. The DTCs can be read by connecting the hand-
held tester.
This system has a sensor signal check function (Test Mode).
The DTC can be read by connecting the SST between terminals TS and CG of DLC3 and observing the
blinking of the ABS warning light and VSC information, or by connecting the hand-held tester.

TROUBLE AREA DESCRIPTION
As an example, the blinking patterns for a normal system code and trouble codes 11
and 21 are shown on the left.
4. Codes are explained in the code table DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART
.
5. After completing the check, disconnect terminals TC and CG of the DLC3, and turn off the
display.
If 2 or more DTCs are detected at the same time, the DTCs will be displayed in assenting order.

2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
3. Read the DTC from multi-information display on the combination meter.
HINT:
At this time, "VSC OK", is displayed when VSC system is in normal condition. If any DTC is
detected, "VSC 31", for example, will be displayed.
If there are 2 or more DTC, DTC will be displayed in ascending order of the number.
If no code appears, inspect the VSC warning information circuit and TC and CG terminal circuit.

5.END OF CHECK/CLEAR
a. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position
b. Check that the ABS warning lamp go off within approximately 3 seconds.
c. Check that "VSC" does not appear on the multi information display.
1.FREEZE FRAME DATA
HINT:

Whenever a DTC is detected or the ABS operates, the skid control ECU stores the current vehicle
(sensor) state as freeze frame data.
The skid control ECU stores the number of times (maximum: 31) the ignition switch has been turned
from off to the ON position since the last time ABS was activated. However, if the vehicle was stopped or
at low speed (4.3 mph (7 km/h) or less), or if a DTC is detected, the skid control ECU will not count the
number after that.
Freeze frame data at the time the ABS operates:
The skid control ECU stores and updates data whenever the ABS system operates.
When the ECU stores data at the time a DTC is detected, the data stored when the ABS operated is
erased.
Freeze frame data at the time a DTC is detected:
When the skid control ECU stores data at the time a DTC is detected, no updates will be performed until
the data is cleared.
a. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
b. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
c. From the display on the tester, select the "FREEZE FRAME DATA".

HINT:
Performing the ACTIVE TEST using the hand-held tester allows the relay and actuator, etc. to operate without
removing any parts. Performing the ACTIVE TEST as the first step of troubleshooting is one of the methods to
shorten labor time.
It is possible to display the DATA LIST during the ACTIVE TEST.
a. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
b. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
c. According to the display on the tester, perform the "ACTIVE TEST
".
HINT:
Ignition switch must be turned to the ON position to proceed to the Active Test using the hand-held tester.
