BASIC INSPECTION 1 BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND LEAKAGE INSPECTION
1. Check fluid level in brake reservoir tank. If fluid level is low, refill brake fluid.
2. Check area around brake piping and ABS actuator for leaks. If a leak or oozing is detected, check as fol-
lows:
● If connections at ABS actuator are loose, tighten piping to the specified torque. Then check again for
leaks, and be sure there is no fluid leak.
● If the flare nuts at the connections and the threads of the ABS actuator are damaged, replace the dam-
aged parts. Then check again for leaks, and make sure that there is no fluid leak.
●If leak or oozing is detected except for ABS actuator connections, wipe it with clean cloth. Then check
again for leaks. If there is still leak or oozing, replace damaged part.
●If leak or oozing is detected on ABS actuator, wipe with a clean cloth. Check again for leaks, and if
there is still leak or oozing, replace ABS actuator.
CAUTION:
ABS actuator body cannot be disassembled.
BASIC INSPECTION 2 INSPECTION FOR LOOSE POWER SUPPLY TERMINAL
Check battery for looseness on battery positive/negative terminals and ground connection.
BASIC INSPECTION 3 ABS/4WD WARNING LAMP INSPECTION
1. Be sure ABS warning lamp turns on when ignition switch is turned ON. If it does not turn on, check ABS
warning lamp harness.
2. Check 4WD warning lamp illuminates with ignition switch ON. If not so, check 4WD warning lamp path.
3. Be sure ABS warning lamp turns off after approximately 1 second when ignition switch is turned ON. If it
does not turn off, perform self-diagnosis.
4. Be sure 4WD warning lamp turns off after several seconds when engine is started. If it does not turn off,
perform self-diagnosis.
5. After driving the vehicle at Approx. 30km/h (19MPH) for a few seconds, check 4WD warning lamp and
ABS warning lamp do not illuminate.
6. After completing the self-diagnosis, always erase the diagnosis memory.

[ESP/TCS/ABS]
GENERAL INFORMATION
●When starting the engine, or just after starting the vehicle, the brake pedal may vibrate or the
motor operating noise may be heard from the engine compartment. This is a normal status of the
operation check.
●The stopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles without ABS when the vehicle drives on
rough, gravel, or snowy (fresh deep snow) road.
TCS FunctionsEFS0019V
1. With the wheel sensor signals from 4 wheels, the ESP/TCS/ABS control unit detects a wheel spin. If a
wheel spins, the control unit controls brake fluid pressure to the spinning wheel, and cuts the fuel to the
engine. It also closes the throttle valve to reduce the engine torque. Furthermore, throttle position is con-
trolled to the appropriate engine torque.
2. If a wheel spins, the TCS system works and function by applying brake fluid pressure to the spinning
wheel.
3. During TCS operation, it informs a driver of system operation by flashing SLIP indicator lamp.
CAUTION:
●During TCS operation, the body and the brake pedal lightly vibrate and the mechanical noise may
be heard. This is a normal condition.
●Depending on road circumstances, the driver may have a sluggish feel. This is not abnormal,
because the optimum traction has the highest priority by TCS operation.
●When the vehicle is passing through a road where the surface friction coefficient varies, down-
shifting or depressing the accelerator pedal fully may activate TCS temporarily.
ESP FunctionsEFS0019W
1. The Electronic Stability Program is called the ESP for short.
The ESP is indicated as the VDC (the Vehicle Dynamics Control) on the CONSULT-II screen.
2. In addition to the ABS/TCS function, ESP detects the driver's steering operation amount and brake opera-
tion amount from the steering wheel angle sensor and pressure sensor. Using the information from the
yaw rate and side G sensor and wheel sensors, ESP judges the driving condition (conditions of under-
steer and oversteer) to improve the stability by controlling the brake on 4 wheels and engine output.
3. During ESP operation, the SLIP indicator lamp flashes to inform the driver of the operation.
CAUTION:
●During ESP operation, the body and the brake pedal lightly vibrate and their mechanical noise
may be heard. This is a normal condition.
●If the vehicle is rotated on a turn table, or rolled and rocked on a ship, the ABS warning lamp,
ESP OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp may turn ON. In this case, start the engine on a
normal road again. If the ABS warning lamp, ESP OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp
turn OFF after the restart, it is normal.
●When driving in a steep slope such as a bank, the ABS warning lamp, ESP OFF indicator lamp,
and SLIP indicator lamp may turn ON. In this case, start the engine on a normal road again. If the
ABS warning lamp, ESP OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp turn OFF after the restart, it
is normal.

Basic InspectionEFS001A9
PRELIMINARY CHECK 1: (BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND LEAK INSPECTION)
1. Check the fluid level in the brake reservoir tank. If the fluid level is low, refill the brake fluid.
2. Check the area around the brake piping, ESP actuator for leaks. If a leak or oozing is detected, check as
follows:
●If the connections at the ESP actuator are loose, tighten the piping to the specified torque. Then check
again for leaks, and make sure that there is no fluid leak.
●If the flare nuts at the connections and the threads of the ESP actuator are damaged, replace the dam-
aged parts. Then check again for leaks, and make sure that there is no fluid leak.
●If a leak or oozing is detected on other parts than the ESP actuator connections, wipe the applicable
part with a clean cloth. Then check again for leaks, and if there is still a leak or oozing, replace the dam-
aged part.
ESP/TCS operation
(SLIP lamp ON)When the vehicle is passing through a road where the surface friction
coefficient varies or the wheel speed changes suddenly by downshifting
or depressing of the accelerator pedal fully, TCS may be activated tem-
porarily.
Normal
Cancel the ESP/TCS
function for the
inspection on a chas-
sis dynamometer. Before the speedometer inspection, turn ESP OFF switch off to cancel
the ESP/TCS function.
When the accelerator pedal is depressed on a chassis dynamometer,
the vehicle speed will not increase. This is not malfunction, because
TCS is activated by the wheel speed difference between front and rear.
The warning lamp may also illuminate to show “sensor system failure” in
this case. This is not malfunction either, because the stationary front
wheels are detected. Restart the engine, and drive the vehicle at 30 km/
h or higher to check that the warning lamp no longer illuminates.
ABS operation (Longer stop-
ping distance)The stopping distance may be longer for the vehicles with ABS when the
vehicle is driver on snowy and rough road. When driving on the road like
that, slow down the speed.Normal
Sluggish feelDepending on road circumstances, the driver may have a sluggish feel.
This is not abnormal, because the optimum traction has the highest pri-
ority (safety first) by TCS operation. Sometimes the driver has a slight
sluggish feel against the substantial accelerator pedal operation.Normal Symptom Symptom description Result

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
●If a leak or oozing is detected on the ESP actuator body, wipe the applicable part with a clean cloth.
Then check again for leaks, and if there is still a leak or oozing, replace the ESP actuator body.
CAUTION:
Do not disassemble the actuator body.
3. Check the brake disc rotor and pads.
PRELIMINARY CHECK 2: (INSPECTION FOR LOOSE POWER SUPPLY TERMINAL)
Check the battery for looseness on the battery positive/negative terminals and ground connection. If loose-
ness is detected, tighten the piping to the specified torque. Check that the battery voltage does not drop and
the alternator is normal.
PRELIMINARY CHECK 3: (INSPECTION FOR ABS WARNING LAMP, ESP OFF INDICATOR
LAMP, AND SLIP INDICATOR LAMP)
1. Check that the ABS warning lamp is ON for Approx. 0.5 seconds when the ignition switch is turned ON. If
it does not turn on, check the ABS warning lamp and the circuit, and the combination meter.
2. Check that ESP OFF indicator lamp is ON for Approx. 0.5 seconds when the ignition switch is turned ON.
If it does not turn ON, check the ESP OFF indicator lamp and the circuit, and the combination meter.
3. Check that the SLIP indicator lamp is ON for Approx. 0.5 seconds when the ignition switch is turned ON. If
it does not turn ON, check the SLIP indicator lamp and the circuit.
4. With the engine running, check the ESP OFF indicator lamp turns ON and OFF when the ESP OFF
switch turns ON and OFF. If it dose not operate in accordance with the switch, check the ESP OFF switch
and the circuit.
5. Check that the ESP OFF indicator lamp turns OFF after Approx. 2 seconds delay when the ESP OFF
switch turned ON (The ESP/TCS system was not operated). If the ESP OFF indicator lamp does not turn
OFF in 10 seconds from the engine start, perform the self-diagnosis of ESP/TCS/ABS control unit.

PLAY INSPECTION
1. Turn steering wheel to straight-ahead position. Start engine and lightly turn steering wheel clockwise and
counter clockwise until front wheels start moving. Measure travel to starting point on circumference of
steering wheel.
2. If play is outside specifications, check following parts for proper installation: steering gear assembly, front
suspension, axles, and steering column
●Check steering wheel for vertical, horizontal, or axial play.
●Lift vehicle and check steering gear mounting bolts and nuts for looseness.
NEUTRAL POSITION INSPECTION
●After the wheel alignment inspection, carry out the neutral position inspection. Refer to FSU-6, "Wheel
Alignment" .
●Before removing steering wheel, check steering gear neutral position.
1. Set vehicle to straight-ahead position, and check that steering wheel is in neutral position.
2. If it is not in neutral position, remove steering wheel, and install again in properly.
3. If it is not adjusted within two teeth from center of gear, loosen tie rod lock nut. Then turn it to opposite
direction to adjust until amount of left and right becomes equal.
STEERING TORQUE CHECK
1. Stop vehicle on a dry flat paved road and apply parking brake.
2. Start engine and wait until power steering fluid warms up. Using
a preload gauge, check rotational torque of steering wheel.
3. If torque is outside specifications, check rack sliding torque and
oil pump relief pressure.
