6. INSPECTION PROCEDURE FOR TROUBLE SYMPTOMS
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 1
AYC warning lamp does not light up when the ignition key
is turned to “ON” (engine stationary).
Probable cause
The lamp power supply circuit is probably open-circuited, lamp bulb is out, or the
circuit between AYC warning lamp and AYC-ECU or AYC-ECU itself is defective.

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

Code No. 41, 42, 43, 44: Solenoid valve systemProbable cause
ABS-ECU monitors the solenoid valve energization circuit at all times. This code is
output when no current flows through the solenoid even when ABS-ECU energizes
it or when current continues flowing through the solenoid even when ABS-ECU
deenergizes it, which is considered to be attributable to an open- or short-circuited
solenoid coil or open- or short-circuited harness.

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.

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.

Code No. 53: Motor relay systemProbable cause
This code is output under any of the following conditions:

No signals are input to the motor monitor when the motor relay is ON (motor
does not run, etc.).

A signal is being input to the motor monitor for 3 sec. or more when the motor
relay is OFF (motor continues running, etc.).

The motor relay is inoperative.

Caution
(1) If the motor relay contacts fuse, the motor continues running even when the ignition switch
is turned OFF. In this case, immediately remove fusible link No. 8 (60 A) or disconnect the
A-22 connector or A-77 motor relay connector of the hydraulic unit. Overloading the motor
results in a rundown battery.
