Improperly mounted speed sensorCorrect sensor installation.
Missing or collapsed rotor toothReplace rotor.
Caution
Since the speed sensor cable follows the movement of the front or rear suspension, it may be
open-circuited only when the vehicle is run on rough roads and not on ordinary road. The speed
sensor output voltage waveform should therefore be checked also by rocking the sensor harness
so that driving on rough roads may be simulated.
8. ACTION WHEN BATTERY RUNS OUT
When the engine is started using a booster cable where the
battery has completely run down and you attempt to start
the vehicle without waiting for the battery to recover a certain
charge, the engine can misfire and you just cannot start to
move it. In such cases, charge the battery sufficiently; or,
remove the AYC fusible link from the engine compartment
relay box to make AYC inactive before attempting to start
the vehicle. When the fusible link is removed, the AYC warning
lamp lights up. After the battery has been recharged, fit the
fusible link back again and start the engine to ensure that
the AYC warning lamp is off.AYC fusible link

ABS – Troubleshooting35B-8
Code No. 51: Valve relay systemProbable cause
This code is output under any of the following conditions:

The solenoid valve power is not supplied when ABS-ECU attempts to turn ON
the valve relay as part of the initial check when the ignition switch is turned ON.

The solenoid valve power remains supplied when ABS-ECU attempts to turn OFF
the valve relay as part of the initial check when the ignition switch is turned ON.

The solenoid valve power is not supplied while the valve relay remains ON under
normal conditions.
Defective ABS valve relay

Defective harness or connector

Defective ABS-ECU
NOTE
In the diagnosis code reading by means of the ABS warning lamp, this code is output in addition to
the actual diagnosis code since the valve relay connector is disconnected.
If the ABS warning lamp turns ON even when the spot represented by the diagnosis code output in
addition to this code has been repaired, and if no diagnosis code other than No. 51 is output, then
the valve relay system is probably defective. Make the following checks.

When the ignition key is turned to “START”, the ABS warning lamp does not
illuminate.435B-14
Brake operation is abnormal535B-14
Caution
(1) If steering movements are made when driving at high speed, or when driving on road surfaces
with low frictional resistance, or when passing over bumps, the ABS may operate even though
sudden braking is not being applied. Because of this, when getting information from the customer,
check if the problem occurred while driving under such conditions as these.
(2) During ABS operation, the brake pedal may vibrate or may not be able to be depressed. Such
phenomena are due to intermittent changes in hydraulic pressure inside the brake line to prevent
the wheels from locking and is not an abnormality.

ABS – Troubleshooting35B-12
4. INSPECTION PROCEDURE FOR TROUBLE SYMPTOMS
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 1
When the ignition key is turned to “ON” (engine stopped),
the ABS warning lamp does not illuminate.
Probable cause
The ABS-ECU turns the valve relay ON → OFF → ON for initial checking when
it is powered ON. Accordingly, the ABS warning lamp illuminates twice even if the
circuit between the ABS warning lamp and ABS-ECU is faulty.
The cause may be an open circuit in the lamp power supply circuit, a blown lamp,
an open circuit between the ABS warning lamp and ABS-ECU or between the ABS
warning lamp and the valve relay.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE 2
Even after the engine is started, the ABS warning lamp
remains illuminated.
Probable cause
The cause is probably a short-circuit in the ABS warning lamp illumination circuit.
Malfunction of combination meter

Malfunction of ABS-ECU

Malfunction of wiring harness (short circuit)
NOTE
This trouble symptom is limited to cases where ABS-ECU power supply is normal and the diagnosis
code is a normal diagnosis code.

Does the ABS warning lamp go off?YESReplace the ABS-ECU.
Does the ABS warning lamp stay illuminated when the connector
B-52 is disconnected and the ignition switch is turned to ON?YESReplace the combination meter.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 3
After the ignition key is turned to “ON”, the ABS warning
lamp blinks once, and when turned to “START”, it
illuminates. When returned to “ON”, the lamp flashes
once, and then switches off.
Probable cause
The ABS-ECU causes the ABS warning lamp to illuminate during the initial check.
During the initial check, the valve relay turns from off to on, off and back to on again.
If there is an open circuit in the harness between the ABS-ECU and the ABS warning
lamp, the lamp will illuminate only when the valve relay is OFF during valve relay
test, etc.

ABS – Troubleshooting35B-14
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 4
When the ignition key is turned to “START”, the ABS
warning lamp does not illuminate.
Probable cause
The ABS-ECU is powered through IG2 which is turned off when the ignition key
is in START position. The ABS warning lamp is powered through IG1 which is not
turned off even when the ignition key is in START position. So the cause must be
a defective circuit on valve relay side.
