Configuration*1 Display Display Display
  • The vehicle specification that is written in ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) can be displayed or stored
  • The vehicle specification can be written when ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) is replaced
Network-DTC Display Display Display Display network DTC which ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) memorizes when performing "Diagnosis (All System)".
CAN Diag Support Monitor*2 Display Display Display
NOTE: SYMBOL The mode is indicated, but not monitored

*: The following diagnosis information is erased by erasing:

CGW INFORMATION 

Display the diagnosis mode which a user can perform in Diag Test mode/Open Mode by switching the CGW status from Restricted mode to Diag Test Mode/Open Mode. For the method of switching CAN Gateway status, Refer to CONSULT Function .

ECU IDENTIFICATION 

ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) part number can be read.

SELF DIAGNOSTIC RESULT 

Refer to DTC Index . When "CRNT" is displayed on self-diagnosis result

When "PAST" is displayed on self-diagnosis result

Freeze frame data (FFD) 

The following vehicle status is recorded when DTC is detected and is displayed on CONSULT :

Item name Display item
IGN counter (0 - 39) The number of times that ignition switch is turned ON after the DTC is detected is displayed.
  • When "0" is displayed: It indicates that the system is presently malfunctioning.
  • When except "0" is displayed: It indicates that system malfunction in the past was detected, but the system is presently normal.
    NOTE: SYMBOL Each time ignition switch is turned OFF to ON, number increases from 1 → 2 → 3...38 → 39. When the operation number of times exceeds 39, the number does not increase and "39" is displayed until self-diagnosis is erased.

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 ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) 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 pedal, the pedal depressing stroke may change. This is not a malfunction.
  • "TEST IS STOPPED" is displayed approximately 10 seconds after operation starts.
  • When performing active test again after "TEST IS STOPPED" is displayed, select "BACK".
  • ABS warning lamp, brake warning lamp and VDC warning lamp may turn ON during active test. This is not a malfunction.
