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.

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 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.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE 5
Brake operation is abnormal
Probable cause
The varies depending on the driving conditions and the road surface conditions, so
problem diagnosis is difficult. However, if a normal diagnosis code is displayed, carry
out the following inspection.
Improper installation of wheel speed sensor

Incorrect sensor harness contact

Foreign material adhering to wheel speed sensor
