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.

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.

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".
