CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

When replacing the skid control ECU (master cylinder solenoid), perform calibration (See page ).
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.

PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

(a) Turn the ignition switch off.

(b) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(d) Turn the Techstream on.

(e) Select CAN Bus Check from the System Selection Menu screen and follow the prompts on the screen to inspect the CAN bus (See page OK: OK: ).

OK:

CAN Bus Check indicates no malfunctions in CAN communication.

GO TO CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM (HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING)

2.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ATRC TERMINAL)

(a) Disconnect the S1 skid control ECU (master cylinder solenoid) connector.

(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Switch Condition	Specified Condition
S1-13 (TRM3) - Body ground	A-TRAC switch not pushed in	10 kΩ or higher
S1-13 (TRM3) - Body ground	A-TRAC switch pushed in	Below 1 Ω
