Inspection Procedure

NOTE: When replacing the skid control ECU, perform initialization of linear solenoid valve and calibration (see INITIALIZATION  ).

HINT:

The brake hold standby indicator light comes on when the system is malfunction.

  1. PRE-CHECK 
    1. If the brake hold standby indicator light does not illuminate even though the brake hold switch is pushed, check that the brake hold function operation conditions are met.
      1. The driver's door is closed.
      2. Driver's seat belt is fastened.
      3. The engine hood is closed.
      4. The trunk is closed.
      5. The system is normal.

        HINT:

        If a malfunction occurs in one of the following systems, the brake hold standby indicator light will blink. If this occurs, perform troubleshooting on the malfunctioning system (see DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART  ).

        • Electronically Controlled Brake system
        • ABS system
        • VSC system
        • Electric parking brake system
        • SFI system
  2. INSPECT CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM 
    1. Check if the CAN communication system DTC is output (see DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART ).
