Problem Symptoms Table

If there are no DTCs output but the problem still occurs, check the circuits for each problem symptom in the order given in the table below and proceed to the relevant troubleshooting page.

PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE - BRAKE SYSTEM

Symptoms Suspect Areas
ABS does not operate BA does not operate EBD does not operate
  1. Check the DTC again and make sure that the normal code is output.
  2. IG power source circuit and ground circuit.
  3. Speed sensor circuit
  4. Check the brake actuator with a hand-held tester. (Check brake actuator operation using the active test function.)

    If abnormal, check the hydraulic circuit for leakage.

  5. If the symptoms still occur even after the above circuits in suspect areas are inspected and proved to be normal, replace the skid control ECU.
ABS does not operate efficiently BA does not operate efficiently EBD does not operate efficiently
  1. Check the DTC again and make sure that the normal code is output.
  2. Speed sensor circuit
  3. Stop lamp switch circuit
  4. Check the brake actuator with a hand-held tester.

    If abnormal, check the hydraulic circuit for leakage.

  5. If the symptoms still occur even after the above circuits in suspect areas are inspected and proved to be normal, replace the skid control ECU.

VSC warning light abnormal
  1. Check the DTC again and make sure that the normal code is output.
  2. VSC warning circuit
  3. If the symptoms still occur even after the above circuits in suspect areas are inspected and proved to be normal, replace the skid control ECU.
Brake Control warning light abnormal
  1. Check the DTC again and make sure that the normal code is output.
  2. Brake Control warning circuit
  3. If the symptoms still occur even after the above circuits in suspect areas are inspected and proved to be normal, replace the skid control ECU.
