(c) Check the deceleration sensor.
(1) Keep the vehicle stationary on a level surface for
1 second or more.
HINT:
The deceleration sensor check can be
performed together with the following master
cylinder pressure sensor check.
(d) Check the master cylinder pressure sensor.
(1) Leave the vehicle in a stationary condition and
release the brake pedal for 1 second or more,
and quickly depress the brake pedal with a force
of 98 N (10 kgf, 22 lbf) or more for 1 second.
Check that the ABS warning light remains
illuminated for 3 seconds.
HINT:
• Ensure that the ABS warning light comes on.
• While the ABS warning light remains
illuminated, continue depressing the brake
pedal with a force of 98 N (10 kgf, 22 lbf) or
more.
• The ABS warning light comes on for 3
seconds every time the brake pedal operation
above is performed.
(e) Check the speed sensor.
(1) Check that the ABS warning light is blinking as
shown in the illustration.
(2) Check the speed sensor signal.
1. Drive the vehicle straight forward at a speed
of 45 km/h (28 mph) or more for several
seconds.
2. Check that the ABS warning light goes off.
NOTICE:
• The speed sensor check may not be
completed if the sensor check is
started with the steering wheel turned
or one or more wheels spinning.
• If the speed sensor check is
commenced while the steering wheel is
turned, the ABS warning light may
come on after the low speed check is
finished.
• The ABS warning light comes on
immediately when an abnormality is
detected.
• When the speed sensor signal is
normal, the ABS warning light goes off
while driving at 45 km/h (28 mph) or
more, and blinks in the test mode
pattern while the vehicle is stationary.

• Do not drive the vehicle at a speed of 80
km/h (50 mph) or more after the ABS
warning light turns off, because test
mode DTCs are set again when the
vehicle speed exceeds 80 km/h (50
mph).
3. Stop the vehicle.
(f) Check the yaw rate sensor.
(1) Move the shift lever to P and set the parking
brake lever.
(2) Check that the VSC warning light is blinking as
shown in the illustration.
(3) Keep the vehicle stationary on a level surface for
1 second or more.

(4) Shift the shift lever to the D position and drive
the vehicle at a speed of approximately 5 km/h
(3 mph), and turn the steering wheel either to the
left or right 90
or more to turn the vehicle
through 180
.
(5) Stop the vehicle, move the shift lever into the P
position, and then apply the parking brake.
(6) Check that the skid control buzzer sounds for 3
seconds.
HINT:
• If the skid control buzzer sounds, the signal
check has been completed normally.
• If the skid control buzzer does not sound,
check the skid control buzzer circuit (see
page BC-172).
• If the skid control buzzer still does not sound,
there is a malfunction in the yaw rate sensor,
so check for DTCs.
• Drive the vehicle in a 180
semi circle. At the
end of the turn, the direction of the vehicle
should be within 180 +-5
of its start position.
• Complete the vehicle turn within 20 seconds.
• Do not spin the wheels.

(1) When the sensor check is successfully
completed, the ABS warning light blinks in the
test mode pattern when the vehicle is stopped,
and goes off when the vehicle is driven.
NOTICE:
If the sensor check is not completed, the
ABS warning light blinks even while the
vehicle is driving and the ABS does not
operate.

(1) Read the DTC(s) by following the instructions on
the tester screen.
NOTICE:
• If only the DTCs are displayed, repair the
malfunction area and clear the DTCs.
• If the DTCs or Test Mode codes (DTC of
signal check function) are displayed,
repair the malfunction area, clear the
DTCs and perform the Test Mode
inspection.

• *4: w/ 16-inch disc
• The DTCs can be read by connecting SST (09843-
18040) between the TC and CG terminals of the
DLC3 and observing the blinking pattern of the ABS
and VSC warning lights, or by using an intelligent
tester (see page BC-47).
• This system has a sensor signal check function (see
page BC-28).
2. CHECK WARNING LIGHT AND INDICATOR LIGHT
(a) Release the parking brake lever.
NOTICE:
Before releasing the parking brake lever, set
chocks to hold the vehicle for safety.
HINT:
When the parking brake is applied or the brake fluid
level is low, the brake warning light comes on.
(b) When the ignition switch is turned ON, check that
the ABS, VSC and brake warning lights and the slip,
downhill assist control and AUTO LSD indicator
lights come on and go off in about 3 seconds.
HINT:
If the warning lights do not illuminate, confirm
whether the bulbs have burned out, and also check
for CAN communication system DTCs, since the
skid control ECU and combination meter are
connected by the CAN communication line.
If the warning light remains on, perform relevant
troubleshooting procedures. The relevant
troubleshooting procedures are in the sections listed
in the table below.
