12. Phenomena Peculiar to the System
1. WHEN TRAVELING WITH EXTREMELY UNDER
INFLATED TIRES
The TCS is apt to operate (particularly when turning) and,
when it operates, acceleration can become slow*. This
state is not abnormal. Immediately restore the tires to nor-
mal by traveling after releasing the TCS with the TCS OFF
switch.
* Poor acceleration is sometimes caused by the engine
itself. Check whether or not the TCS operating indicator
light (green) comes on to determine that the failure is
caused by the TCS control.
2. WHEN THE T TIRES ARE FITTED
The TCS is apt to operate (particularly when turning) and,
when it operates, acceleration can become slow. This state
is not abnormal. Immediately restore the tires to normal by
traveling after releasing the TCS with the TCS OFF switch.
3. WHEN OPERATING THE TCS CONTINUOUSLY ON
A SLOPE IMPOSSIBLE TO CLIMB OR IN STACK
S TAT E
When operating the TCS for a long time, it can be auto-
matically turned off (the OFF indicator light will come on),
stopping braking. This state is not abnormal. It automati-
cally resets by stopping and leaving the vehicle.
4. WHEN HEAVY LOAD IS PLACED ON THE BRAKES
If service brakes are used too often when descending a
long slope, heavy load can be placed on the brakes. To
prevent this problem, the TCS is automatically turned off
(the OFF indicator light will come on). This state is not
abnormal. Stop the vehicle and leave it in the same way as
step 3, it automatically resets.
5. KICKBACK TO THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN THE
ABS IS OPERATING
Compared with ABS of the AWD model system, pedal kick-
back with large amplitude of vibration and long cycle can
be felt. This is caused by the difference in system configu-
ration and, therefore, not abnormal. If you receive an
inquiry from your clients, fully explain this point.

B: ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC
When the airbag system is in functioning condition, the
airbag warning light will remain on for 8 seconds and go out
when the ignition switch is set to ON.
If there is any malfunction, the airbag warning light will
either stay on or off continuously. In such cases, perform
on-board diagnostic in accordance with the specified pro-
cedure to determine trouble codes.
1) Turn ignition switch ON (with engine OFF).
2) Connect DIAG. terminal

1to No. 1 terminal of diagno-
sis connector

2located below lower cover.
3) Check in accordance with the trouble code indicated by
the AIRBAG warning light, and record the trouble codes.
4) Turn the ignition switch “OFF” and remove the DIAG.
terminal from No.1 terminal of diagnosis connector.
B5M0116B
C: CLEAR MEMORY
After eliminating problem as per trouble code, clear
memory as follows:
Make sure ignition switch is ON (and engine off). Connect
one DIAG. terminal

1on diagnosis connector
2terminal
No. 1.
While warning light is flashing, connect the other DIAG.
terminal

3on terminal No. 2 for at least three seconds.
After memory is cleared, normal warning light flashing rate
resumes. (Warning light flashes every 0.6 seconds ON-
OFF operation.) Memory cannot be cleared if any problem
exists.
After clear memory and then DIAG. terminals

2. INSPECTION OF BODY HARNESS, CONNECTOR
AND AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT
1) Turn ignition switch“OFF”and connect body harness
connector (B31) to test connector A connector (1A).
G5M0455
2) Connect battery ground cable and turn ignition switch
“ON”, (engine off) and connect connectors (3A) and (4A) to
check if warning light goes out. If it does, go to step 4)
below. If it remains on, check body harness and repair if
necessary.
B5M0124A
3) If body harness is satisfactory, replace airbag warning
light module

1. After problem has been eliminated, discon-
nect connectors (3A) and (4A).
G5M0559
4) Turn ignition switch“OFF”, disconnect battery ground
cable and then wait at least 20 seconds, and re-connect
connectors (AB1) and (B31).
5) Remove instrument panel lower cover and disconnect
(AB3) with (AB8), then disconnect connector (AB6) from
airbag control module, and connect
it to test harness B2 connector (8B).
G5M0458
6) Connect battery ground cable and turn ignition switch
“ON,”(engine off) and connect connectors (6B) and (7B) to
check if warning light goes out. If it does, go to“3.
GROUNDING CIRCUIT INSPECTION”. If it remains on,
replace airbag main harness. After problem has been
eliminated, disconnect connectors (6B) and (7B).
