DESCRIPTION

If any of the following is detected, the ABS warning light remains on.

The skid control ECU (master cylinder solenoid) connectors are disconnected from the skid control ECU (master cylinder solenoid).
There is a malfunction in the skid control ECU (master cylinder solenoid) internal circuit.
There is an open in the harness between the combination meter assembly and skid control ECU (master cylinder solenoid).
The anti-lock brake system is defective.
The voltage at terminal IG1 is high.
The rear differential is locked.

HINT:

It may not be possible to use the Techstream when the skid control ECU (master cylinder solenoid) is abnormal.

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 THAT SKID CONTROL ECU CONNECTOR IS SECURELY CONNECTED

(a) Check the skid control ECU (master cylinder solenoid) connector connection.

OK:

The connector is securely connected.

CONNECT CONNECTOR TO ECU CORRECTLY

CHECK DTC

(a) Check for DTCs (See page Result ).

Result

Result	Proceed to
DTC is not output	A
DTC is output	B

REPAIR CIRCUITS INDICATED BY OUTPUT DTCS

3.	INSPECT BATTERY

(a) Inspect the battery voltage (See page Standard voltage: ).

Standard voltage:

11 to 14 V

CHECK CHARGING SYSTEM

4.	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)

5.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (IG1 TERMINAL)

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

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

Standard Voltage:

Tester Connection	Switch Condition	Specified Condition
S1-46 (IG1) - Body ground	Ignition switch ON	11 to 14 V

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

6.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (GND TERMINAL)

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

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
S1-1 (GND1) - Body ground	Always	Below 1 Ω
S1-32 (GND2) - Body ground	Always	Below 1 Ω
S2-4 (GND3) - Body ground	Always	Below 1 Ω

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

7.	CHECK DIFFERENTIAL SYSTEM

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

(b) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(d) Turn the Techstream on.

(e) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Four Wheel Drive / Trouble Codes.

(f) Check for DTCs.

8.	READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (ABS WARNING LIGHT)

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

(b) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(d) Turn the Techstream on.

(e) Enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRAC / Data List.

(f) According to the display on the Techstream, read the Data List.

ABS/VSC/TRAC
