TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
“1. The G. sensor is a sensor associated with ride control (detecting pitching, bouncing and rough road). If itfails, therefore, ride control stops.
“2. A self diagnostic decision on the steering angular velocity sensor is made by the ECS control unit which
internally detects the voltages of the two sensor output lines connected to the ECS control unit to detectan open circuit in the signal line. When the signal line is short-circuited or when the power line is
open-circuited, however, it cannot be detected. In a situation where anti-roll control only stops, if
self-diagnosis code No. 21 is not on display, a short-circuited sensor output line or open-circuited sensorpower line is suspected.
“3. The vehicle speed sensor is a sensor associated with attitude controls (anti-dive, anti-squat) and steering
stability controls (anti-roll, high speed sensitive controls). If all these controls stop, therefore, trouble in the
sensor is suspected. The vehicle speed sensor is also in use for operation of the speedometer and for theother electronics controlled systems for the engine, automatic transaxle, etc.
“4. The sensor associated with anti-squat control is the throttle position sensor. The sensor is also used for
control of the engine and automatic transaxle. If the sensor fails, therefore, the check engine light in the
combination meter will light, and engine self-diagnosis code No. 14 will be output. In a situation whereanti-squat control only stops, therefore, if the check engine light does not light, defective wiring is
suspected between the ECS control unit and throttle position sensor.

ON-VEHICLE INSPECTIONIM33FHAD1. WARNING INDICATION BY ECS INDICATOR LIGHT
If a problem associated with the following items occurs, theECS indicator light (Tour Sport) in the combination light
flashes at intervals of 0.5 sec. At the same time, the
self-diagnosis code associated with the problem is outputto the diagnosis connector.
Warning Indication Items
l G sensor
l Steering angular velocity sensor
l Vehicle speed sensor
lDamping force changeover actuator (including position
detection switch)
2. SELF-DIAGNOSIS OUTPUT CHECK
(I) Check the self-diagnosis code.
(2) After the defective portion has been repaired, erase theself-diagnosis code. (If the defective portion is not
completely repaired, it may be impossible to erase the’self-diagnosis code by the MUT.)d
(3) Perform self-diagnosis output check again and checkthat the self-diagnosis code is good.

(1) Set the ignition switch to OFF.
(2) Connect the positive (+) terminal of the voltmeter to
the No. 3 terminal of the diagnosis connector beside the
junction block and connect the negative (--) terminal ofthe voltmeter to the No. 12 terminal.
(3) Set the ignition switch to ON.
(4) Read the self-diagnosis code on the basis of the
deflection of the pointer of the voltmeter.
(5) Based on the self-diagnosis code, repair the associated
defective portion.(6) Set the ignition switch to OFF.
(7) Disconnect the battery cables from the battery termi-
nals and reconnect them more than
10 seconds
thereafter.(8) Set the ignition switch to ON, perform self-diagnosis
check again, and check that the self-diagnosis code is
good.
