Work Procedure

CAUTION:
  • Use "Manual Configuration" only when "TYPE ID" of ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) cannot be read.
  • After configuration, turn the ignition switch from OFF to ON and check that the VDC warning lamp turns OFF after staying illuminated for approximately two seconds.
  • If an error occurs during configuration, start over from the beginning.

  1. CHECKING TYPE ID (1)

    Use FAST (service parts catalog) to search ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) of the applicable vehicle and find "Type ID".

    Print out "Type ID" and GO TO STEP 2  .

  2. CHECKING TYPE ID (2)

    CONSULT Configuration

    1. Select "Before Replace ECU" of "Read/Write Configuration".
    2. Check that "Type ID" is displayed on the CONSULT screen.

    Is "Type ID" displayed?

    YES 

    GO TO STEP 3  .

    NO 

    Configuration must be performed manually. GO TO STEP   7  .

  3. VERIFYING TYPE ID (1)

    CONSULT Configuration

    Compare the "Type ID" displayed on the CONSULT screen with the one found using the FAST (service parts catalog) to confirm that they match.

    NOTE:

    Use the last five digits of the "Type ID" found using the FAST (service parts catalog).

    Do the "Type IDs" match?

    YES 

    GO TO STEP 4  .

    NO 

    Configuration must be performed manually. GO TO STEP   7  .

  4. SAVING TYPE ID

    CONSULT Configuration

    Save "Type ID" on CONSULT.

    GO TO STEP 5  .

  5. REPLACING ABS ACTUATOR AND ELECTRIC UNIT (CONTROL UNIT) (1)

    Replace ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit). Refer to REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .

    CAUTION:

    Do not perform the following work items at this time. These items must be performed after configuration is complete.

    • Air bleeding
    • Adjustment of steering angle sensor neutral position
    • Calibration of decel G sensor

    GO TO STEP 6  .

  6. WRITING (AUTOMATIC WRITING)

    CONSULT Configuration

    1. Select "After Replace ECU" of "Read / Write Configuration".
    2. Select the "Type ID" that matches the one stored on CONSULT and the one found using the FAST (service parts catalog) to write the "Type ID" into the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).
      NOTE:

      Use the last five digits of the "Type ID" found using the FAST (service parts catalog).

    GO TO STEP 9  .

  7. REPLACING ABS ACTUATOR AND ELECTRIC UNIT (CONTROL UNIT) (2)

    Replace ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit). Refer to REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .

    CAUTION:

    Do not perform the following work items at this time. These items must be performed after configuration is complete.

    • Air bleeding
    • Adjustment of steering angle sensor neutral position
    • Calibration of decel G sensor

    GO TO STEP 8  .

  8. WRITING (MANUAL WRITING)

    CONSULT Configuration

    1. Select "Manual Configuration".
    2. Select the "Type ID" found using the FAST (service parts catalog) to write the "Type ID" into the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).
      NOTE:

      Use the last five digits of the "Type ID" found using the FAST (service parts catalog).

    GO TO STEP 9  .

  9. VERIFYING TYPE ID (2)

    Compare the "Type ID" written into the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) with the one found using the FAST (service parts catalog) to confirm they match.

    NOTE:

    Use the last five digits of the "Type ID" found using the FAST (service parts catalog).

    GO TO STEP 10  .

  10. CHECKING VDC WARNING LAMP

    1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
    2. Turn the ignition switch ON and check that the VDC warning lamp turns OFF after staying illuminated for approximately two seconds.
      CAUTION:

      Do not start the engine.

    Is the inspection result normal?

    YES 

    GO TO STEP 11  .

    NO 

    Perform self-diagnosis of "ABS". Refer to CONSULT FUNCTION (ABS) .

  11. PERFORMING SUPPLEMENTARY WORK

    1. Perform air bleeding. Refer to BLEEDING BRAKE SYSTEM .
    2. Perform adjustment of steering angle sensor neutral position. Refer to WORK PROCEDURE .
    3. Perform calibration of decel G sensor. Refer to WORK PROCEDURE .
    4. Perform self-diagnosis of all systems.
    5. Erase self-diagnosis results.

    Work End.
