If the ABS warning light and VSC information do not blink, inspect the ABS warning light
circuit and VSC warning information circuit.

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.

d. YAW RATE SENSOR CHECK
1. Shift the shift lever to the D range and drive the vehicle at the vehicle speed of approx. 3 mph
(5 km/h), turn the steering wheel either to left or right 90° or more, and maintain 180°
circular drive for the vehicle.

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).

e. BRAKE PEDAL LOAD SENSING SWITCH CHECK
1. Keep depressing the brake pedal for one second or more with a brake pedal load of
approximately 59 N (6kgf) with the ignition switch in the ON position (engine is off).
2. Check if the brake warning lamp comes on and the ABS motor operating sound can be heard.
HINT:
If rechecking the brake pedal load sensing switch after the engine starts, exit the test mode
and enter the test mode to release the negative pressure in the booster by pumping the brake
pedal.
3. Start the engine and depress the brake pedal with a brake pedal load of approximately 59 N
(6 kgf) or more to check if the brake warning lamp goes off.
f. SPEED SENSOR CHECK
1. Check the ABS warnin
g lamp is blinking in TEST MODE.

2. Drive the vehicle straight forward.
Drive the vehicle at a speed of 28 to 50 mph (45 to 80 km/h) or higher for several seconds and
check that the ABS warning light goes off.
