SELF-DIAGNOSIS
Operation procedure
1. After obtaining customer's information, performBRC-32, "Basic Inspection".
2. After turning ignition switch OFF, connect CONSULT-II connec-
tor to data link connector on vehicle.
3. Start engine and drive at Approx. 30 km/m (19 MPH) for Approx.
1minute.
4. Stop vehicle. With engine at idle, touch “START”, “ABS” and
“SELF-DIAG RESULTS” on CONSULT-II screen in this order.
CAUTION:
“ABS” may not be displayed on the system selection
screen in the following case: When “START” was touched
justafterengineisstartedorignitionswitchisturnedto
ON. In this case, repeat procedure from step 2.
5. Self-diagnosis result is displayed. (If necessary, touch “PRINT” to print self-diagnosis result.)
lIf“NO MALFUNCTION”is displayed, check ABS warning lamp. Refer toBRC-32, "BASIC INSPECTION
3 ABS/4WD WARNING LAMP INSPECTION".
6. Check the faulty part indicated by the chart to repair or replace.
7. Start engine and drive at Approx. 30 km/m (19 MPH) for Approx. 1 minute.
CAUTION:
lCheck again to make sure that there is NO FAILURE on other parts.
lIf wheel speed sensor [SHORT] is detected, ABS warning lamp does not turn off until following
conditions: Vehicle is driven at Approx. 30km/h for Approx. 1 minute, even in normal conditions.
8. Turn OFF ignition switch to prepare for erasing memory.
9. Start engine. Touch “START,” “ABS,” “SELF-DIAG RESULTS,” and “ERASE MEMORY” on CONSULT-II
screen in this order to erase fault memory.
CAUTION:
If memory cannot be erased, proceed to 6.
10. Drive at Approx. 30 km/m (19 MPH) for Approx. 1 minute. Be sure ABS warning lamp is OFF.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
(Note 1): When vehicle was stuck on slippery road, and spin its wheels for Approx. 10 - 80 seconds (the period depends on vehicle
speed). ABS warning lamp may come on. However, this is not abnormal.
(Note 2): Repair short circuit in sensor. ABS warning lamp will come on when ignition switch is turned ON. According to self-diagnosis
operation procedure, drive vehicle at Approx. 30 km/m (19 MPH). Then check ABS warning lamp goes out in about one minute.
CAUTION:
If “ALL MODE 4WD” is not displayed on system selection screen, check the following: 4WD actuator and control unit, data link
connector harness, and No. Of CONSULT-II program card
DATA MONITOR
lFor details of data monitor function, refer to CONSULT -II Instruction Manual.
Operation procedure
1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2. Connect CONSULT-II connector to data link connector on vehicle.
3. Turn ignition switch ON.
4. Touch “START” on the display.
5. Touch “ALL MODE 4WD” on display.
CAUTION:
“ALL MODE 4WD” may not be displayed on the system selection screen in the following case:
When “START” was touched just after engine is started or ignition switch is turned to ON. In this
case, repeat procedure from step 2.
