CONSULT Function

APPLICATION ITEMS 

CONSULT can display each diagnostic item using the diagnostic test modes as follows.

Mode Function description
ECU Identification Parts number of ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) can be read.
Self Diagnostic Result Self-diagnostic results and freeze frame data can be read and erased quickly.*
Date Monitor Input/Output data in the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) can be read.
Active Test Diagnostic Test Mode in which CONSULT drives some actuators apart from the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) and also shifts some parameters in a specified range.
Work support Components can be quickly and accurately adjusted.

*: The following diagnosis information is erased by erasing

ECU IDENTIFICATION 

ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) part number can be read.

SELF DIAGNOSTIC RESULT 

Refer to DTC Index . When "CRNT" is displayed on self-diagnosis result

When "PAST" is displayed on self-diagnosis result

Freeze frame data (FFD) 

The following vehicle status is recorded when DTC is detected and is displayed on CONSULT.

Item name Display Item
IGN counter(0 - 39) The number of times that ignition switch is placed ON after the DTC is detected is displayed.
  • When "0" is displayed: It indicates that the system is presently malfunctioning.
  • When except "0" is displayed: It indicates that system malfunction in the past is detected, but the system is presently normal.
    NOTE: SYMBOL Each time when ignition switch is placed OFF to ON, numerical number increases in 1-> 2 -> 3...38 -> 39. When the operation number of times exceeds 39, the number do not increase and "39" is displayed until self diagnosis is erased.

ACTIVE TEST 

The active test is used to determine and identify details of a malfunction, based on self-diagnosis test results and data obtained in the DATA MONITOR. In response to instructions from CONSULT, instead of those from ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) on the vehicle, a drive signal is sent to the actuator to check its operation.

CAUTION:
  • Never perform ACTIVE TEST while driving the vehicle.
  • Always bleed air from brake system before active test.
  • Never perform active test when system is malfunctioning.
NOTE: SYMBOL
  • When active test is performed while depressing the pedal, the pedal depressing stroke may change. This is not a malfunction.
  • "TEST IS STOPPED" is displayed approx. 10 seconds after operation start.
  • When performing active test again after "TEST IS STOPPED" is displayed, select "BACK".
  • ABS warning lamp, brake warning lamp and VDC warning lamp may turn ON during active test. This is not a malfunction.
