1. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
2. Check that the BRAKE warning light comes on when depressing the brake pedal with a force of 59 N (6 kgf, 13.2 lbf) or more for 1 second or more. (The lost booster pressure state is judged normal.)
3. Start the engine depressing the brake pedal with a force of 59 N (6 kgf, 13.2 lbf) or more for 1 second or more.
4. Check that the BRAKE warning light goes off when quickly releasing the brake pedal. (The lost booster pressure state is judged normal.)
5. Leave the vehicle for 1 second or more. (Master cylinder pressure sensor zero point calibration)
   NOTE:

   • If you slowly depress the brake pedal or depress it again, master cylinder pressure sensor zero point calibration is not performed normally.
   • If lost booster pressure judgment check is not completed normally, master cylinder pressure sensor check is not judged.
   • If recheck is performed after the engine has started, end the Test Mode, transit to the Test Mode again, and release the vacuum in the booster by pumping the brake pedal prior to the recheck.

1. Keep the vehicle stationary on a level surface for 1 second or more.

   HINT:

   The acceleration sensor check can be performed with the master cylinder pressure sensor check below.

1. Leave the vehicle in a stationary condition and release the brake pedal for 1 second or more, and quickly and continuously depress the brake pedal with a force of 98 N (10 kgf, 22 lbf) or more for 1 second.
2. Check that the ABS warning light stays on for 3 seconds.

   HINT:

   • Ensure that the ABS warning light come on.
   • While the ABS warning light stays on, continue to depress the brake pedal with a force of 98 N (10 kgf, 22 lbf) or more.
   • The ABS warning light comes on for 3 seconds every time brake pedal operation above is performed.
   • If the check of the master cylinder pressure sensor is not completed, depressing the brake pedal causes further decrease in the negative pressure, making the sensor check difficult to be completed.
   • If the negative pressure is insufficient, the master cylinder pressure sensor check may not be completed. In this case, run the engine at idle to obtain sufficient negative pressure.
   • If the brake pedal is strongly depressed when the negative pressure is insufficient, the BRAKE warning light may come on in accordance with the booster pressure control. In this case, run the engine at idle to obtain sufficient negative pressure.

1. Check the reverse signal.
   1. Drive the vehicle in reverse for more than 1 second at 2 mph (3 km/h) or more.

      HINT:

      Drive the vehicle in reverse and check the speed sensor signal. The sensor check cannot be completed if the vehicle speed is 28 mph (45 km/h) or more.

2. Check the forward signal.
   1. Drive the vehicle straight ahead.

      Accelerate the vehicle to a speed of 28 mph (45 km/h) or more for several seconds and check that the ABS warning light goes off.

      HINT:

      The sensor check may not be completed if the vehicle has its wheels spun.

3. Stop the vehicle.
   NOTE:

   • Before performing the speed sensor check, complete the acceleration sensor and master cylinder pressure sensor checks.
   • The speed sensor check may not be completed if the speed sensor check is started while turning the steering wheel or spinning the wheels.
   • After the ABS warning light goes off and if the vehicle speed exceeds 50 mph (80 km/h), a signal check code will be stored again. Accelerate or stop the vehicle before the speed reaches 50 mph (80 km/h).
   • If the signal check has not been completed, the ABS warning light blinks while driving and the ABS system does not operate.
   • If the vehicle is driven in reverse at 28 mph (45 km/h) or more, the sensor check will not be completed.

   HINT:

   When the sensor check has been completed, the ABS warning light goes off while driving and blinks in the Test Mode pattern while stationary.

4. Check the VSC sensor.

   Check that the master caution indicator light blinks and "VSC TEST MODE" is displayed on the multi-information display, and perform the check.

      • If the skid control buzzer does not sound, check the skid control buzzer circuit (See SKID CONTROL BUZZER CIRCUIT  ), then perform the sensor check again.
      • If the skid control buzzer still does not sound, there is a malfunction in the yaw rate sensor, so check the DTC.
      • At the end of the 180° turn, the direction of the vehicle should be within 175° to 185° of its start position.
      • Do not spin the wheels.
      • Do not turn the engine switch off while turning.
      • Do not move the shift lever to the P position while turning, but changing in the vehicle speed, stopping, or driving in reverse is possible.
      • Complete the turn within 20 seconds.

1. If the sensor check is completed, the ABS warning light blinks (Test Mode) when the vehicle stops and the ABS warning light is off while the vehicle is driving.
   NOTE:
