REAR AXLE – Troubleshooting 27-9
Code No. 25: Wrong-diameter tireProbable cause
This code is output if the speed of any one of the four wheels exceeds a specified
level with respect to the average of the four wheel speed sensor outputs when the
steering wheel is in the straight-ahead position and the vehicle speed exceeds 20
km/h. At this time, the warning lamp does not light up.

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.

waveform
Open-circuited harnessRepair harness.
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

TROUBLESHOOTING
DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
INPUT SIGNAL INSPECTION POINTS
Refer to Group 00 – How to Use Troubleshooting / Inspection Service Points.
The lighting monitor buzzer does not sound even when
the ignition key is removed with the tail lamps or
headlamps ON and the driver’s side door open. [However,
the key reminder warning buzzer sounds when inserting
the key into the ignition key cylinder.
Probable cause
The cause is probably a malfunction of the lighting switch input circuit system or
a malfunction of ETACS-ECU or buzzer ECU. When the key reminder warning buzzer
is sounding, the lighting monitor warning buzzer does not sound even if the tail lamps
or headlamps are lit.
