PRECAUTIONS FOR TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
lBefore performing the trouble diagnosis, always read theGI-3, "PRECAUTIONS"to confirm the general
precautions.
lAfter replacement of ESP/TCS/ABS control unit, steering angle sensor, steering parts, suspension parts,
or tires, and adjustment of alignment, always adjust the neutral position of steering angle sensor before
driving.
lWhen the ESP/TCS/ABS control unit is replaced, check that the label on the computer unit is identical
color.
lAfter completing the trouble diagnosis, always erase the malfunctioning memory.BRC-77, "Functions of
CONSULT-II"
lWhen inspection of the continuity or voltage between units is performed, check the connector terminals for
disconnection, looseness, bend, or collapse. If any malfunction is detected, repair or replace the applica-
ble part.
lIntermittent problems may be caused by a malfunction on harness, connector, or terminal. Move the har-
nesses, harness connectors, or terminals by hand to make sure that there is no contact malfunction.
lIf a circuit tester is used for the check, be careful not to forcibly extend any connector terminal.
lFor self-diagnosis, active test, and work support of ESP/TCS/ABS control unit with CONSULT-II, stop and
connect CONSULT-II and select²ABS².
lCONSULT-II self-diagnosis results are displayed without regard to occurrence timing. In some case, the
later ones (timing value is small) appear on the next screen.
lWhile the self-diagnosis results of CONSULT-II shows a malfunction, if CONSULT-II active test is per-
formed, an engine system malfunction may be indicated. In this case, start the engine to resume the nor-
mal screen.
lESP/TCS/ABS system electronically controls the brake operation and engine output. The following symp-
toms may be caused by the normal operations.
Symptom Symptom description Result
Motor operation noiseDuring ESP, TCS, or ABS operation, sometimes a faint noise can be
heard. This is a motor operation noise in the ESP/TCS/ABS actuator.
Normal
Just after the engine starts, the motor operating noise may be heard.
This is a normal status of the system operation check.
System operation check
noiseWhen the engine starts, a²click²noise may be heard from the engine
compartment. This is a normal status of the system operation check.Normal
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 show²sensor system failure²in
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

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
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.

Inspection procedure
1.SELF-DIAGNOSIS RESULT CHECK 1
Check the self-diagnosis results.
Are any self-diagnosis result items above indicated?
>> GO TO 2.
2.CHECK THE CONNECTOR
Remove connectors of the wheel speed sensor which is malfunctioning and the ESP/TCS/ABS control unit.
Check whether the deformation of terminal, or incorporate connection of connectors. Then, connect connec-
tors. In addition, check if the wheel speed sensor cable is damaged due to friction.
Does ABS warning lamp is out when driving 30km/h (49MPH) for Approx. One minute?
YES >> Check is completed.
NO >> GO TO 3.
