Test Mode Procedure
BRAKE CONTROL / DYNAMIC CONTROL SYSTEMS: ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED BRAKE SYSTEM: TEST MODE PROCEDURE
1. WARNING LIGHT AND INDICATOR LIGHT INITIAL CHECK
(a) Release the parking brake.
NOTICE:
When releasing the parking brake, push the P position switch (transmission shift main switch) for safety.
HINT
When the parking brake is applied or the brake fluid level is low, the brake warning light / red (malfunction) comes on.
(b) When the power switch is turned on (IG), check that the ABS warning, brake warning / red (malfunction), brake warning / yellow (minor malfunction), VSC OFF indicator and slip indicator lights come on, and TRAC OFF message is displayed on the multi-information display until the power switch is turned on (READY).
HINT
* If the skid control ECU stores any DTCs, the ABS warning, brake warning / red (malfunction), brake warning / yellow (minor malfunction) and slip indicator lights will come on.
* If any of the indicators remains on or does not come on, proceed to troubleshooting for the light circuits listed below.
2. SENSOR CHECK USING TEST MODE (SIGNAL CHECK) (When Using the Techstream)
NOTICE:
Before performing the master cylinder pressure sensor check or yaw rate sensor zero point voltage check, perform linear valve offset learning.
HINT
* If the power switch is turned from on (IG) to on (ACC) or off during Test Mode (signal check), DTCs recorded during the sensor check will be cleared.
* During Test Mode (signal check), the skid control ECU records all DTCs detected in the sensor check. By performing Test Mode (signal check), the codes are cleared if a normal condition is confirmed. The remaining codes are the codes where an abnormality was found.
(a) Procedure to enter the Test Mode
(1) Turn the power switch off.
(2) Check that the steering wheel is centered.
(3) Check that the parking brake is released.
(4) Check that park (P) is selected.
(5) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(6) Turn the power switch on (IG).
(7) Turn the Techstream on.
(8) Switch the skid control ECU to Test Mode using the Techstream. Enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRAC / Utility / Signal Check.
(9) Check that the ABS warning, brake warning / yellow (minor malfunction) and slip indicator lights come on for several seconds and then blink in Test Mode.
HINT
* TRAC OFF message is displayed on the multi-information display during Test Mode because traction control is prohibited.
* If the ABS warning, brake warning / yellow (minor malfunction) and slip indicator lights do not blink, inspect the TS and CG terminal circuit and ABS warning, brake warning / yellow (minor malfunction) and slip indicator light circuits.
(10) Check the ABS sensors.
HINT
Check that the ABS warning light is blinking in the Test Mode blinking pattern before performing the ABS sensor check.
(b) Acceleration Sensor Check
(1) Keep the vehicle stationary on a level surface for 1 second or more.
HINT
The acceleration sensor check can be performed with the master cylinder pressure sensor check below.
(c) Master Cylinder Pressure Sensor Check
NOTICE:
Before performing the master cylinder pressure sensor check, perform linear valve offset learning.
(1) Leave the vehicle in a stationary condition and release the brake pedal for 1 second or more, and quickly and continuously depress the brake pedal with a force greater than 98 N (10 kgf, 22.0 lbf) for 1 second.
(2) Check that the ABS warning light stays on for 3 seconds.
HINT
* Confirm that the ABS warning light comes on.
* While the ABS warning light stays on, continue to depress the brake pedal with a force of 98 N (10 kgf, 22.0 lbf) or more.
* The ABS warning light comes on for 3 seconds every time the preceding brake pedal operation is performed.
(d) Speed Sensor Check
NOTICE:
Before performing the speed sensor check, complete the acceleration sensor and master cylinder pressure sensor checks.
(1) Drive the vehicle straight-ahead.
Accelerate the vehicle to a speed of 45 km/h (28 mph) or more for several seconds and check that the ABS warning light goes off.
HINT
* The sensor check may not be completed if wheelspin occurs.
* The ABS warning light comes on immediately if a malfunction is detected during the speed sensor check.
(2) Stop the vehicle.
NOTICE:
* The speed sensor check may not be completed if the speed sensor check is started while turning the steering wheel or spinning the wheels.
* After the ABS warning light goes off, if vehicle speed exceeds 80 km/h (50 mph), a sensor check code will be stored again. Decelerate or stop the vehicle before the speed reaches 80 km/h (50 mph).
* If the sensor check has not been completed, the ABS warning light will blink while driving and the ABS will not operate.
(3) Check the VSC sensor.
HINT
Check that the brake warning / yellow (minor malfunction) and slip indicator lights are blinking in the Test Mode blinking pattern before performing the VSC sensor check.
(e) Yaw Rate Sensor Zero Point Voltage Check
NOTICE:
Before performing the yaw rate sensor zero point voltage check, perform linear valve offset learning.
(1) Check that park (P) is selected.
(2) Keep the vehicle stationary on a level surface for 1 second or more.
(3) Check that the brake warning light / yellow (minor malfunction) blinks.
(f) Yaw Rate Sensor Output Check
(1) Move the shift lever to D and drive the vehicle at a speed of approximately 5 km/h (3 mph), and turn the steering wheel either to the left or right 90° or more until the vehicle makes a 180° turn.
NOTICE:

* Do not push the P position switch (transmission shift main switch) while turning, but changing the vehicle speed, stopping, or driving in reverse is acceptable.
(2) Stop the vehicle and push the P position switch (transmission shift main switch). Check that the skid control buzzer sounds for 3 seconds.
HINT
* If the skid control buzzer sounds, the sensor check has completed normally.
* If the skid control buzzer does not sound, check the skid control buzzer circuit Skid Control Buzzer Circuit, then perform the sensor check again.
* If the skid control buzzer still does not sound, the yaw rate sensor may be malfunctioning. Check for DTCs.
(g) End of Sensor Check
(1) If the sensor check is completed, the ABS warning light blinks (Test Mode) when the vehicle is stopped and goes off while the vehicle is driving.
NOTICE:
* When all the yaw rate sensor, acceleration sensor, speed sensor, and master cylinder pressure sensor checks are completed, the sensor check is completed.
* If the sensor check has not been completed, the ABS warning light will blink while driving and the ABS will not operate.
(h) Read Sensor Check DTCs
(1) Read the DTC(s) by following the Techstream screen.
NOTICE:
* If only DTCs other than Test Mode sensor check DTCs are displayed, repair the malfunction and clear the DTCs.
* If Test Mode sensor check DTCs and other DTCs are displayed or if only Test Mode sensor check DTCs are displayed, repair the malfunction, clear the DTCs, and perform the Test Mode inspection again.

(2) Count the number of blinks of the ABS warning, brake warning / yellow (minor malfunction) and slip indicator lights.
HINT
* How to read DTCs:
Diagnostic trouble codes are represented by the number of blinks of a warning light. For example, code 21 would be shown by 2 blinks, a pause of 1.5 seconds, and then 1 blink.
* If one code is detected:
The light repeats the same code after a pause of 4 seconds.
* If multiple codes are detected:
The light outputs one code after another with a 2.5-second pause between each code. When all codes have been output, there is a 4-second pause and then the light begins to output the codes again.
NOTICE:
* If only DTCs other than the Test Mode sensor check DTCs are displayed, repair the malfunctions and clear the DTCs.
* If Test Mode sensor check DTCs and other DTCs are displayed or if only the Test Mode sensor check DTCs are displayed, repair the malfunctions, clear the DTCs, and perform the Test Mode inspection again.
HINT
* If more than 1 malfunction is detected at the same time, the lowest numbered code will be displayed first.
* See "Sensor Check DTCs".
(3) After performing the check, disconnect SST from terminals TS and CG, and TC and CG of the DLC3 and turn the power switch off.
HINT
* If the power switch is not turned on (IG) after SST is removed from the DLC3, the previous Test Mode will continue.
