Abs/TRAC Actuator Check

NOTE: ABS/TRAC Actuator Checker (SST 09990-00150) is needed to perform actuator check.
  1. Turn ignition off. Ensure battery voltage is 10-14 volts. Disconnect ABS/TRAC actuator electrical connectors. Connect ABS Actuator Checker (SST 09990-00150) positive and negative power cables to vehicle battery. Connect Sub-Wire Harness (SST 09990-00250, SST 09990-00360 and STT 09990-00450) to ABS/TRAC actuator connectors.
  2. Connect FR TRC connector to White connector at sub-wire harness. See Fig 1. Connect ABS Actuator Checker (SST 09990-00150) to sub-wire harness. Connect Black cable of sub-wire harness to ground.
  3. Place SHEET "N" (SST 09990-00410) on ABS/TRAC actuator checker. Start engine and let it idle. Turn selector switch of ABS/TRAC actuator checker to FRONT RH position. See Fig 2.
  4. Press MOTOR switch for a few seconds. Depress brake pedal and hold it in position until next step is completed.
    NOTE: DO NOT keep POWER switch pressed for more than 10 seconds.
  5. Press POWER switch, and ensure brake pedal does not go down. Release POWER switch. Brake pedal should go down. Press MOTOR switch for a few seconds, and ensure brake pedal returns. Release brake pedal.
  6. Press MOTOR switch for a few seconds then release it. Depress brake pedal and hold it down for 15 seconds. With brake pedal depressed, press MOTOR switch for a few seconds. Ensure brake pedal does not pulsate. Replace ABS/TRAC actuator if it does not test as specified. See ABS/TRAC ACTUATOR  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Release brake pedal.
  7. Repeat steps  46 for REAR positions of selector switch. See Fig 2. When inspecting FRONT LH position, it does not matter which selector switch position ABS/TRAC actuator checker is in. When inspecting FRONT LH, push FRONT LH switch instead of POWER switch.
  8. After all wheels are checked, press MOTOR switch for a few seconds. Turn engine off. Remove actuator checker, SHEET "N" and sub-wire harness. Reconnect ABS/TRAC actuator connectors. Clear diagnostic trouble codes. See CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES  under DIAGNOSIS & TESTING.
  9. If actuator does not operate as specified, check ABS solenoid and ABS motor relay operation. See DTC 11 OR 12: ABS SOLENOID RELAY CIRCUIT  and DTC 13 OR 14: ABS MOTOR RELAY CIRCUIT  under DIAGNOSTIC TESTS. If relays are found to be faulty, replace relays and recheck actuator operation.
