Code No. 33 Stop lamp switch systemProbable cause
These codes are output at the following times:

When the stop lamp switch is not be turned off (when the stop lamp switch stays
on for 15 minutes or more although the ABS is not operating)

When the ABS-ECU determines that there is an open circuit in harness of the
stop lamp switch system.

ABS <2WD> ± Troubleshooting35B-11
Code No. 51 Valve relayProbable cause
When the ignition switch is turned to ON, the ABS-ECU switches the valve relay
off and on during the initial check. In that way, the ABS-ECU compares the signals
sent to the valve relay with the voltage in the valve power monitor line. That is how
to check if the valve relay is operating normally. The ABS-ECU always checks if
current flows in the valve power monitor line, too. It determines that there is an open
circuit when no current flows. If no current flows in the valve power monitor line,
this diagnosis code is output.
Malfunction of valve relay

Malfunction of wiring harness or connector

Malfunction of ABS-ECU

Malfunction of hydraulic unit
NOTE
Whenever reading the diagnosis codes using the ABS warning lamp (Refer to GROUP 00 ± How to
Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points), this diagnosis code will be output. That is not a malfunction
but because the valve relay connector is disconnected. After repairing all other malfunctions, connect
the valve relay connector again to check the valve relay. Then check that the ABS warning lamp does
not illuminate. If it illuminates, the valve relay may be defective. So carry out the following procedure.
Valve relay check. (Refer to P. 35B-28.)NGReplace the valve relay.

Refer to GROUP 00 ± How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points.
NOTES WITH REGARD TO DIAGNOSIS
The phenomena listed in the following table are not abnormal.
PhenomenonExplanation of phenomenon
System check soundWhen starting the engine, a thudding sound can sometimes be heard coming from inside
the engine compartment, but this is because the system operation check is being
performed, and is not an abnormality.
ABS operation sound1. Sound of the motor inside the ABS hydraulic unit operation. (whine)
2. Sound is the generated along with vibration of the brake pedal. (scraping)
3. When ABS operates, sound is generated from the vehicle chassis due to repeated
brake application and release.
(Thump: suspension; squeak: tyres)
ABS operation
(Long braking distance)For road surfaces such as snow-covered roads and gravel roads, the braking distance for
vehicles with ABS can sometimes be longer than that for other vehicles. Accordingly, advise
the customer to drive safely on such roads by lowering the vehicle speed and not being too
overconfident.
Shock during system
operation checkShock may be felt when the brake pedal is depressed slightly at a low driving speed. This
occurs due to ABS operation check (check at a vehicle speed of 8 km/h after starting), and
does not indicate any malfunction.
Diagnosis detection condition can vary depending on the diagnosis code.
Make sure that checking requirements listed in the ªCommentº are satisfied when checking the trouble
symptom again.
DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION35201120108
DIAGNOSIS CODES CHECK
Read a diagnosis code by the MUT-II or ABS warning lamp.
