DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULT

With CONSULT.

1. Turn ignition switch OFF to ON.

2. Perform self-diagnostic result.
Is DTC C1145 or C1146 detected?

YES

>> Proceed to diagnosis procedure. Refer to 

BRC-85, "Diagnosis Procedure"

.

NO

>> Inspection End.

Diagnosis Procedure

INFOID:0000000009177298

Regarding Wiring Diagram information, refer to 

BRC-44, "Wiring Diagram"

.

CAUTION:

• A malfunction in yaw rate/side/decel G sensor system may be detected when the vehicle sharply

turns during a spin turn, acceleration turn or drift driving while VDC function is OFF (VDC OFF indi-

cator lamp is in ON status). This is not a malfunction if the status returns to normal after engine is

started again. In that case, erase self-diagnosis result memory using CONSULT.

• When the engine is in running status and the vehicle is on a turntable at the entrance of parking lot

or on a moving unit, SLIP indicator lamp may turn ON and “ABS” self-diagnosis may display “YAW

RATE SENSOR”. In this case, yaw rate sensor is not malfunctioning. The status returns to normal

when the vehicle leaves the turntable or moving unit and the engine is started again. In that case,

erase self-diagnosis result memory using CONSULT.

1.

CONNECTOR INSPECTION

1. Turn ignition switch OFF.

2. Disconnect ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) and yaw rate/side/decel G sensor connectors.

3. Check connectors and terminals for deformation, disconnection, looseness or damage.
Is the inspection result normal?

YES

>> GO TO 2.

NO

>> Repair or replace as necessary.

2.

CHECK YAW RATE/SIDE/DECEL G SENSOR MOUNTING CONDITION

Check yaw rate/side/decel G sensor mounting condition. Refer to 

BRC-125, "Exploded View"

.

Is the inspection result normal?

YES

>> GO TO 3.

NO

>> Repair or replace malfunctioning components.

YES

>> GO TO 5.

NO

>> Repair or replace malfunctioning components.

5.

CHECK COMMUNICATION LINES

1. Disconnect ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector E125.
