System DiagramEFS0019X
ESP FunctionEFS0019W
1. The Electronic Stability Program is called the ESP for short. ESP is indicated as ESP on CONSULT-II
screen.
2. In addition to the ABS/TCS function, ESP detects a driver's steering operation amount and brake opera-
tion amount from steering angle sensor and pressure sensor. Using the information from yaw rate/side G
sensor and wheel sensors, ESP judges the driving condition (conditions of understeer and oversteer) to
improve the stability by controlling brake on 4 wheels and engine output.
3. During ESP operation, SLIP indicator lamp flashes to inform the driver of the operation.
CAUTION:

During ESP operation, body and the brake pedal lightly vibrate and their mechanical noise may be
heard. This is a normal condition.

If 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 engine on a nor-
mal 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, 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 ABS
warning lamp, ESP OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp turn off after the restart, it is nor-
mal.
TCS FunctionEFS0019V
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.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

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

During TCS operation, body and brake pedal lightly vibrate and the mechanical noise may be
heard. This is a normal condition.

Depending on road circumstances, a driver may have a sluggish feel. This is not malfunction,
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.
ABS FunctionEFS0019U
1. In cases of braking suddenly or braking on slippery road (ice road), ABS functions prevent wheels from
lock, improve the stability in sudden braking, and make efficient avoidance of obstacles with steering
manipulation by detecting wheel speed and controlling brake fluid pressure.
2. EBD is integrated in ESP/TCS/ABS system.
CAUTION:

During ABS operation, brake pedal lightly vibrates and its mechanical noise may be heard. This is
a normal condition.

When starting engine, or just after starting vehicle, brake pedal may vibrate or the motor operating
noise may be heard from engine compartment. This is a normal status of the operation check.

The stopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles without ABS when vehicle drives on
rough, gravel, or snowy (fresh deep snow) road.
EBD FunctionEFS004HO

Electronic Brake Distributor is a function that detects subtle slippages between front and rear wheels dur-
ing braking, and it improves handling stability by electronically controlling the brake fluid pressure which
results in reduced rear wheel slippage.

In case of electrical system break down, the fail-safe function is activated, EBD and ABS becomes inoper-
ative, and ABS warning lamp and brake warning lamp are turned on.

Electrical System Diagnosis by CONSULT-II is available.
Fail-Safe FunctionEFS004HP
ESP/ TCS SYSTEM
In case of throttle control system trouble, ESP OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp are turned on, and
the condition of vehicle is the same as the condition of vehicles without ESP/TCS equipment. In case of trou-
ble to the throttle control system, the ABS control continues to operate normally without ESP/TCS control.
CAUTION:
If the fail-safe function is activated, then perform the self- diagnosis for ESP/TCS/ABS control system.
ABS, EBD SYSTEM
In case of electrical malfunctions with the ABS, ABS warning lamp, ESP OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indica-
tor lamp will turn on. In case of electrical malfunctions with the EBD, brake warning lamp, ABS warning lamp,
ESP OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp will turn on. Simultaneously, the ESP/ TCS/ABS become one
of the following conditions of the fail-safe function.
1. For ABS trouble, only the EBD is activated and the condition of vehicle is the same condition of vehicles
without ESP/TCS/ABS equipment.
2. For EBD trouble, the EBD and ABS become inoperative, and the condition of vehicle is the same as the
condition of vehicles without ESP/TCS/ABS, EBD equipment.
NOTE:
In condition 1 described above, an ABS self-diagnosis sound may be heard. That is a normal condition
because a self-diagnosis for “Ignition switch ON” and “The first starting” are being performed.

CAN COMMUNICATION

CAN COMMUNICATIONPFP:23710
System DescriptionEFS0067I
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS

TROUBLE DIAGNOSISPFP:00004
How to Proceed With DiagnosisEFS005VY
BASIC CONCEPT

Most important point to perform diagnosis is to understand systems (control and mechanism) in vehicle
thoroughly.

It is also important to clarify customer complaints before inspec-
tion.
First of all, reproduce symptom, and understand it fully.
Ask customer about his/her complaints carefully. In some cases,
it will be necessary to check symptom by driving vehicle with
customer.
NOTE:
Customers are not professionals. Do not assume “maybe cus-
tomer means...” or “maybe customer mentioned this symptom”.

It is essential to check symptoms right from beginning in order to
repair a malfunction completely.
For an intermittent malfunction, it is important to reproduce
symptom based on interview with customer and past examples.
Do not perform inspection on ad hoc basis. Most intermittent
malfunctions are caused by poor contacts. In this case, it will be
effective to shake suspected harness or connector by hand.
When repairs are performed without any symptom check, no
one can judge if malfunction has actually been eliminated.

After diagnosis, make sure to carry out “erase memory”. Refer to
BRC-28, "
SELF-DIAGNOSIS" .

For an intermittent malfunction, move harness or harness con-
nector by hand to check poor contact or false open circuit.

Always read “GI General Information” to confirm general precautions. Refer to GI-4, "General Precau-
tions" .

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS

ASKING COMPLAINTS

Complaints against malfunction vary depending on each person.
It is important to clarify customer complaints.

Ask customer about what symptoms are present and under
what conditions. Use information to reproduce symptom while
driving.

It is also important to use diagnosis sheet so as not to miss infor-
mation.
