Inspection Procedure

NOTE: When replacing the skid control ECU, perform zero point calibration and store system information (See CALIBRATION  ).
  1. CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM 
    1. Check if a CAN communication system DTC is output (See DTC CHECK / CLEAR  )

      Result 

      RESULT REFERENCE

      Result Proceed to
      DTC is not output A
      DTC is output B

    B: INSPECT CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM  (See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART  )

    A: Go to next step 

  2. INSPECT DLC3 
    1. Turn the engine switch on (IG)
    2. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

    B: Go to step  5

    A: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TC of DLC3 - ECM) 
    1. Turn the engine switch off.
    2. Disconnect the ECM connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  5. CHECK ECM (TC of DLC3 INPUT) 
    1. Turn the engine switch off.
    2. Reconnect the ECM connector.
    3. Using SST, connect terminals TC and CG of the DLC3.

      SST 09843-18040 

    4. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    5. Check that the check engine warning light is blinking.
