ACTIVE TEST 

The active test is used to determine and identify details of a malfunction, based on self-diagnosis test results and data obtained in the Data Monitor. In response to instructions from CONSULT instead of those from chassis control module on the vehicle, a drive signal is sent to the actuator to check its operation.

CAUTION:
  • Never perform ACTIVE TEST while driving the vehicle.
  • Always bleed air from brake system before active test.
  • Never perform active test when system is malfunctioning.
NOTE: SYMBOL
  • When active test is performed while depressing the brake pedal, the brake pedal depressing stroke may change. This is not a malfunction.
  • During an active test, sometimes a chassis control warning is displayed and the master warning lamp illuminates on the information display in the combination meter; however, this is not a malfunction.
Test item Operation Description
BRAKE ACTUATOR 1 MODE 1 Start Controls brake fluid pressure.
BRAKE ACTUATOR 1 MODE 2 Start Controls brake fluid pressure.
BRAKE ACTUATOR 1 MODE 3 Start Controls brake fluid pressure.
BRAKE ACTUATOR 2 MODE 1 Start Controls brake fluid pressure.
BRAKE ACTUATOR 2 MODE 2 Start Controls brake fluid pressure.
BRAKE ACTUATOR 2 MODE 3 Start Controls brake fluid pressure.
BRAKE ACTUATOR 3 MODE 1 Start Controls brake fluid pressure.
BRAKE ACTUATOR 3 MODE 2 Start Controls brake fluid pressure.
BRAKE ACTUATOR 3 MODE 3 Start Controls brake fluid pressure.
MASTER WARNING ACTIVE On If touching "On" with the master warning lamp not illuminated, the master warning lamp illuminates. It stops in approximately 1 minute.
Off The master warning lamp turns OFF (vehicle in normal state).

RE/PROGRAMMING, CONFIGURATION 

Configuration includes the following functions.

Function Description
Read/Write Configuration Before replacing ECU Allows the reading of vehicle specification (Type ID) written in chassis control module to store the specification in CONSULT.
After replacing ECU Allows the writing of vehicle information (Type ID) stored in CONSULT into the chassis control module.
Manual Configuration Allows the writing of vehicle specification (Type ID) into the chassis control module by hand.
CAUTION:

Use "Manual Configuration" only when "TYPE ID" of Chassis Control Module cannot be read.
