    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (+BC OR GND CIRCUIT) 

    OK: GO TO Next Step 

  4. CHECK SKID CONTROL ECU (Dl CIRCUIT) 
    1. Disconnect the A13 and A15 ECU connectors.
    2. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard voltage 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      A13-39 (DI1) - Body ground 10 to 14 V
      A15-38 (DI2) - Body ground 10 to 14 V

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (Dl CIRCUIT) 

    OK: GO TO Next Step 

  5. INSPECT BRAKE CONTROL POWER SUPPLY (CTY+ AND OUT TERMINAL) 
    1. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      HINT:

      Perform inspection while the brake is not operated.

      Standard voltage 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      U27-1 (OUT1) - Body ground 10 to 14 V
      U27-2 (CTY+) - Body ground 10 to 14 V*
      U27-7 (OUT2) - Body ground 10 to 14 V
      HINT:
      *: for 5 seconds after the driver's door is opened.

    OK:  GO TO step  9

    NG: GO TO Next Step 

  6. CHECK WIRE HARNESS (SKID CONTROL ECU - BRAKE CONTROL POWER SUPPLY) 
    1. Disconnect the A13 and A15 ECU connectors.
    2. Disconnect the U27 power supply connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      A13-13 (CTY+) - U27-2 (CTY+) Below 1 Ω
      A13-21 (CBI1) - U27-1 (OUT1) Below 1 Ω
      A15-40 (CBI2) - U27-7 (OUT2) Below 1 Ω
      A13-13 (CTY+) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
      A13-21 (CBI1) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
      A15-40 (CBI2) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
