April 5, 2026: LEMON Manuals is launched! Read the announcement.

Inspection Procedure

  1. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (MOMENTARY INTERRUPTION) 
    1. Using the Techstream, check for any momentary interruption in the wire harness and connector corresponding to the DTC (See CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS ).

    ABS/VSC/TRAC: 

    ABS/VSC/TRAC REFERENCE CHART

    Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
    EFI Communication Open EFI communication open detection / ERROR or NORMAL ERROR: Momentary interruption
    NORMAL: Normal    		 -
    Yaw Rate Open Yaw rate sensor open detection / ERROR or NORMAL ERROR: Momentary interruption
    NORMAL: Normal    		 -
    Steering Open Steering angle sensor open detection / ERROR or NORMAL ERROR: Momentary interruption
    NORMAL: Normal    		 -

    Result 

    RESULT CHART

    Result Proceed to
    There is a constant open circuit. A
    There are no momentary interruptions. B
    There are momentary interruptions. C

    HINT:

    Perform the above inspection before removing the sensor and connector.

    B : Go to step  3

    C : Go to step  4

    A : Go to Next Step 

  2. CHECK IF EACH SENSOR AND ECM CONNECTOR IS SECURELY CONNECTED 
    1. Turn the ignition switch off.
    2. Check if each sensor or ECM connector is securely connected.

    OK: Each connector is securely connected. 

    NG : CONNECT CONNECTOR TO EACH SENSOR OR ECM CORRECTLY 

    OK : Go to Next Step 

  3. RECONFIRM DTC 
    1. Turn the ignition switch off.
    2. Record the output DTCs (for ABS, VSC system and/or CAN communication system) (See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART  for ABS and VSC system, or CA-34 for CAN communication system).

    HINT:

    If CAN communication system DTCs and the relevant sensor DTCs are output simultaneously, troubleshoot the relevant sensor DTCs (for ABS and/or VSC system) after the CAN communication system returns to normal.

    Result 

    RESULT CHART

    Result Proceed to
    DTC is not output. A
    DTC is output. ABS and/or VSC system DTC B
    CAN communication system DTC C

    B : REPAIR CIRCUIT INDICATED BY OUTPUT DTC  (See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART )

    C : INSPECT CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM  (See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART )

    A : CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS (SYMPTOM SIMULATION)  (See HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING )

  4. REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 
    1. Turn the ignition switch off.
    2. Repair or replace the harness or connector.
    3. Check for any momentary interruption between the skid control ECU and each sensor or ECM (See CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS ).
    4. Check that there are no momentary interruptions.

    NEXT 

  5. RECONFIRM DTC 
    1. Turn the ignition switch off.
    2. Clear the DTCs (See DTC CHECK / CLEAR ).
    3. Start the engine.
    4. Drive the vehicle at a speed of 15 km/h (9 mph) or more and turn the steering wheel to the right and left.
    5. Check that no CAN communication system DTC is output (See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART ).
    6. If ABS and/or VSC system DTCs are output, record them.

    Result 

    RESULT CHART

    Result Proceed to
    DTC is not output. A
    DTC is output. ABS and/or VSC system DTC B
    CAN communication system DTC C

    HINT:

    The CAN communication system must be normal when performing troubleshooting for each sensor DTC (for ABS and/or VSC system).

    B : REPAIR CIRCUIT INDICATED BY OUTPUT DTC  (See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART )

    C : INSPECT CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM  (See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART )
