4. FAIL SAFE FUNCTION
(a) When a failure occurs in the ABS with BA, TRC and
VSC systems, the ABS and VSC warning lights
illuminate, the slip indicator light comes on*1 or
remains off*2, and the operations of those systems
are prohibited. In addition to this, when a failure
which disables the EBD operation occurs, the brake
warning light comes on and its operation is
prohibited.
HINT:
*1: for 2WD
*2: for 4WD
(b) If control is prohibited due to a malfunction during
operation, control is disabled gradually to avoid
sudden vehicle instability.
5. INITIAL CHECK
(a) When the vehicle speed first reaches approximately
6 km/h (4 mph) or more after the ignition switch is
turned ON, each solenoid valve and the motor of the
ABS and TRACTION actuator are sequentially
activated to perform electrical checks. During the
initial check, the operating sound of the solenoid
valve and motor can be heard from the engine
compartment, but this does not indicate a
malfunction.
6. SERVICE MODE
(a) VSC operation can be disabled by operating the
intelligent tester.
HINT:
Refer to the intelligent tester operator's manual for
further details.

ABS has occurred
• Blinks to indicate DTCs that relate to the ABS
VSC Warning Light • Illuminates to inform the driver that a malfunction in the
VSC system has occurred

ON when the system is normal, and when the brake
fluid has decreased
• Illuminates to inform the driver that a malfunction in the
EBD has occurred
Slip Indicator Light • Blinks to inform the driver that TRC, VSC, downhill
assist control and hill-start assist control are operating
• Illuminates to inform the driver that a malfunction has
occurred in the TRC or VSC system
AUTO LSD Indicator Light*2 Lights up to inform the driver when AUTO LSD operation is
possible
Downhill Assist Control Indicator
Light*1Lights up to inform the driver when downhill assist control
operation is possible

DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
1. DIAGNOSIS
If the skid control ECU detects a malfunction, the ABS,
VSC and brake warning lights and the slip, downhill
assist control and AUTO LSD indicator lights come on in
accordance with the trouble area to warn the driver.
The table below indicates which lights come on when
there are malfunctions in particular functions.
: Light ON
: Light ON (Blinking)
-: Light OFF

• *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.

(c) Clear the DTCs stored in the skid control ECU by
depressing the brake pedal 8 times or more within 5
seconds.
(d) Check that the ABS and VSC warning lights come
on.
(e) Remove SST from the terminals of the DLC3.
(f) Turn the ignition switch OFF.
HINT:
Clearing the DTCs cannot be performed by
removing the cable from the negative (-) battery
terminal or the ECU-IG1 fuse.
5. END OF DTC CHECK/CLEAR
(a) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(b) Check that the ABS and VSC warning lights go off
within approximately 3 seconds.
(c) Turn the ignition switch OFF.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM – AIRBAG SYSTEMRS–27
RS
• The center airbag sensor receives signals
from the deceleration sensor and the
electronic safing sensor built into the center
airbag sensor and the rear airbag sensor, and
determines whether or not the side airbag
and curtain shield airbag should be activated,
and diagnoses system malfunctions.
• The center airbag sensor sends the airbag
deployment signal to ECM through the CAN
to operate the fuel pump control.
(2) Deceleration sensor and ignition control circuit
• The deceleration sensor is built into the
center airbag sensor.
• The ignition control circuit performs
calculations based on the signal output from
the deceleration sensors of the center airbag
sensor and front airbag sensor. If the
calculated values are greater than the
specified values, it activates the deployment
operation.
(3) Safing sensor
The safing sensor is built into the center airbag
sensor. During a frontal collision, the sensor
turns on and outputs an ON signal to the center
airbag sensor if a deceleration rate greater than
the specified value is applied to the safing
sensor.
(4) Electronic safing sensor
The electronic safing sensor is built into the
center airbag sensor. During a side collision, the
sensor turns on and outputs an ON signal to the
center airbag sensor if a deceleration rate
greater than the specified value is applied to the
electronic safing sensor.
(5) Back-up power source
The back-up power source consists of a power
supply capacitor and a DC-DC converter. When
the power system does not function during a
collision, the power supply capacitor discharges
and supplies electric power to the system. The
DC-DC converter operates as a boosting
transformer when the battery voltage falls below
a predetermined level.
(6) Diagnostic circuit
This circuit constantly diagnoses system
malfunctions. When a malfunction is detected, it
lights up the SRS warning light on the telltale
light to inform the driver.
(7) Memory circuit
When a malfunction is detected in the diagnostic
circuit, it is coded and stored in the memory
circuit.
