TEST MODE PROCEDURE
HINT:
• By switching the skid control ECU from normal mode to
test mode, abnormality detection sensitivity is enhanced
and troubleshooting can be conducted efficiently.
• Perform a sensor check in test mode after the speed
sensor or sensor rotor has been repaired or replaced.
• If the ignition switch is turned from ON to ACC or OFF
during test mode, DTCs related to the signal check
function will be erased.
• During test mode, the skid control ECU stores all DTCs
related to the signal check function, and the DTCs are
erased if normality is confirmed. Any remaining DTCs are
those indicating abnormalities that were found.
1. CHECK SENSOR SIGNAL BY TEST MODE (When
Using Intelligent Tester)
(a) Procedures for test mode:
(1) Turn the ignition switch OFF.
(2) Check that the steering wheel is in the centered
position.
