TCL/ASC Diagnostic Troubleshooting Strategy

Use these steps to plan your diagnostic strategy. If you follow them carefully, you will be sure that you have exhausted most of the possible ways to find an TCL/ASC fault.

1. Gather information about the problem from the customer.
2. Verify that the condition described by the customer exists.
3. Check the vehicle for any TCL/ASC DTC.
4. If you cannot verify the condition and there are no TCL/ASC DTCs, the malfunction is intermittent. Refer to HOW TO COPE WITH INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTIONS .
5. If you can verify the condition but there is no TCL/ASC DTC, or the system cannot communicate with the scan tool, check that the basic brake system is operating properly.
   • If the basic brake system is not operating properly, refer to the BASIC BRAKE SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS .
   • If the basic brake system is operating properly, refer to SYMPTOM CHART  .
6. If there is an TCL/ASC DTC, record the number of the DTC, then erase the DTC from the memory using the scan tool.
7. Duplicate the TCL/ASC DTC set conditions to see if the same TCL/ASC DTC will set again.
   • If the same TCL/ASC DTC sets again or the TCL/ASC DTC cannot be erased, perform the diagnostic procedures for the DTC. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART  .
   • If you cannot get the same TCL/ASC DTC to set again, the malfunction is intermittent. Refer to HOW TO COPE WITH INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTIONS .
