SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONPFP:00000

FunctionsBFS000DQ
VDC

In addition to the TCS/ABS function, the steering amount and brake operation amount are detected from
the steering angle sensor and brake switch, and the driving condition (amount of under-steering/over-
steering) is determined from information from the yaw rate/side/decel G sensor, vehicle speed sensor, etc.
This information is used to improve vehicle stability by controlling the braking and engine power to all four
wheels.

The SLIP indicator lamp flashes to inform the driver of VDC operation.

During VDC operation, the body and brake pedal lightly vibrate and mechanical noises may be heard.
This is normal.

ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp might turn on when the vehicle is
subject to strong shaking or large vibration, such as when the vehicle is on a turn table or a ship while
engine is running. In this case, restart engine on a normal road, and if ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indi-
cator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp turn off, there is no malfunction.
TCS

Speed signals for 4 wheels control engine output and transaxle conditions so that slip rate of the drive
wheels is optimum. ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) detects wheelspin. Output from the control
unit controls brake fluid pressure to both LH and RH drive wheels while cutting fuel to the engine and clos-
ing the throttle valve to reduce engine torque when wheelspin is detected. Throttle position is continuously
controlled to ensure the appropriate engine torque at all times.

Depending on road conditions, the driver may have a sluggish feel. This is normal, because the optimum
traction has the highest priority by TCS operation.

TCS may be activated momentarily the vehicle suddenly accelerates, suddenly downshifts, or is driven on
a road with a varying surface friction coefficient.

During TCS operation, it informs a driver of system operation by flashing SLIP indicator lamp.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS

Basic InspectionBFS000E7
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL, LEAKAGE AND BRAKE PAD
1. Check fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir tank. Refill the brake fluid if fluid level is low.
2. Check the area around the brake piping and actuator for leakage. If leakage or oozing is detected, check
as follows:

If ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connections are loose, tighten connections to the speci-
fied torque. Check again for leakage, and make sure that there is no fluid leakage.

If the flare nuts at the connections and the threads of the actuator are damaged, replace the damaged
parts. Then check again for leakage, and make sure that there is no fluid leak.

If leakage or oozing is detected on parts other than actuator connections, wipe with a clean cloth and
check again. If there is still leakage or oozing, replace the damaged part.

If leakage or oozing is detected on actuator body, wipe with a clean cloth and check again. If there is
still leakage or oozing, replace ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).
CAUTION:
ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) cannot be disassembled.
3. Check brake pad for wear. Refer to BR-26, "
PAD WEAR INSPECTION" , “FRONT DISC BRAKE”, BR-33,
"PAD WEAR INSPECTION" , “REAR DISC BRAKE”.
POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT TERMINAL LOOSENESS AND BATTERY
Check battery for looseness on the battery positive/negative terminal and ground connection. Also make sure
that battery voltage does not drop.
INSPECTION OF ABS WARNING LAMP, BRAKE WARNING LAMP, VDC OFF INDICATOR LAMP,
AND SLIP INDICATOR LAMP
×: ON –: OFF
Note 1: Turns off after engine start
Note 2: The brake warning lamp turns on during parking brake operation (when switch is on) and brake fluid level sensor operation
(insufficient brake fluid).
1. Make sure that when the ignition switch is turned ON, the ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp
(when VDC OFF switch is off), and SLIP indicator lamp turn on for approximately 1 second, and that the
brake warning lamp turns on. If they do not turn on, perform CAN communication system diagnosis. Refer
to BRC-81, "
CAN Communication System" . Be sure to check VDC OFF switch before checking VDC OFF
indicator lamp. Refer to BRC-81, "
VDC OFF SWITCH" . Check combination meter if there is no malfunc-
tion in CAN communication system and VDC OFF switch. Refer to DI-4, "
COMBINATION METERS" .
2. Check if the ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp turn off approximately
1 second after the ignition switch is turned ON, and if the brake warning lamp turns off after the engine is
started. If they do not turn off, perform self-diagnosis.

REMOVAL
1. Disconnect ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector.
2. Loosen brake tube flare nuts, then remove brake tubes from ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).
3. Remove ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) mounting nuts.
4. Remove ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) from vehicle.
CAUTION:
Be careful of the following when removing ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).

If the part number on the part number label (pasted on actuator upper surface) is the same, ABS
actuator and electric unit (control unit) cannot be used on another vehicle.
If it is used on another vehicle, ABS warning lamp, SLIP indicator lamp and VDC OFF indicator
lamp may turn ON or VDC/TCS/ABS may not operate normally.
When replacing ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit), must use new service parts.

Before servicing, disconnect battery cables.

To remove brake tube, use a flare nut torque wrench to prevent flare nuts and brake tube from
being damaged. To install, use a flare nut torque wrench (commercial service tool) and tighten
with the specified torque.

Do not apply excessive impact to actuator, such as dropping it.

Do not remove and install ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) by holding harness.
INSTALLATION
Install is in the reverse order of the removal.
CAUTION:
Be careful of the following when installing ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).

Tighten the mounting bolts and nuts with the specified torque.

After the work, bleed air from brake piping. Refer to BR-10, "Bleeding Brake System" .

After installing body harness connector in the actuator, make sure connector is securely locked

When replacing ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit), calibrate Steering angle sensor neu-
tral position. Refer to BRC-40, "
Adjustment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral Position" .

Checking of CVT PositionBCS001MO
1. Place selector lever in “P” position, and turn ignition switch ON. (Do not start engine.)
2. Make sure selector lever can be shifted to other than “P” position when brake pedal is depressed. Also
make sure selector lever can be shifted from “P” position only when brake pedal is depressed.
3. Move the selector lever and check for excessive effort, sticking, noise or rattle.
4. Confirm the selector lever stops at each position with the feel of engagement when it is moved through all
the positions. Check whether or not the actual position the selector lever is in matches the position shown
by the shift position indicator and the transaxle body.
5. The method of operating the lever to individual positions cor-
rectly should be as shown in the figure.
6. Confirm the back-up lamps illuminate only when lever is placed
in the “R” position. Confirm the back-up lamps do not illuminate
when the selector lever is pushed toward the “R” position side
with the gear position remained in the “P” or “N” position.
7. Confirm the engine can only be started with the selector lever in
the “P” and “N” positions.
8. Make sure transaxle is locked completely in “P” position.
9. When selector lever is set to manual shift gate, make sure man-
ual mode is displayed on combination meter.
Shift selector lever to “+” and “-” sides, and make sure set shift position changes.

Control Unit Circuit Test
System Description:When the switch is ON, the control unit lights up the lamp.
INPUT-OUTPUT VOLTAGE CHART
The voltage value is based on the body ground.
*:If high resistance exists in the switch side circuit (caused by a single strand), terminal 1 does not detect battery voltage. Control unit
does not detect the switch is ON even if the switch does not turn ON. Therefore, the control unit does not supply power to light up the
lamp.
INPUT-OUTPUT VOLTAGE CHART
The voltage value is based on the body ground.
*:If high resistance exists in the switch side circuit (caused by a single strand), terminal 2 does not detect approx. 0V. Control unit does
not detect the switch is ON even if the switch does not turn ON. Therefore, the control unit does not control ground to light up the lamp.
Control Units and Electrical PartsBAS0007J
PRECAUTIONS

Never reverse polarity of battery terminals.

Install only parts specified for a vehicle.

Before replacing the control unit, check the input and output and functions of the component parts.

Do not apply excessive force when disconnecting a connector.
