ABS/TCS/Vdc

Basic Inspection

BRAKE FLUID LEVEL, FLUID LEAK, AND BRAKE PAD INSPECTION
1. Check fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir. If fluid level is low, add fluid.
2. Check the brake piping and around the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) for leaks. If there is leaking or seeping fluid, check the following items.
- If ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connection is loose, tighten the piping to the specified torque and recheck for leaks.
- If there is damage to the connection flare nut or ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) screw, replace the damaged part and recheck for leaks.
- When there is fluid leaking or seeping from a fluid connection, use a clean cloth to wipe off the fluid and recheck for leaks. If fluid is still seeping out, replace the damaged part. If the fluid is leaking at the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit), replace the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) assembly.

CAUTION: The ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) cannot be disassembled and must be replaced as an assembly.

3. Check the brake pads for excessive wear.

POWER SYSTEM TERMINAL LOOSENESS AND BATTERY INSPECTION
Make sure the battery positive cable, negative cable and ground connection are not loose. In addition, make sure the battery is sufficiently charged.

ABS WARNING LAMP, SLIP INDICATOR LAMP AND VDC OFF INDICATOR LAMP INSPECTION
1. Make sure ABS warning lamp, SLIP indicator lamp and VDC OFF indicator lamp (when VDC OFF switch is off), turn on for approximately 1 second when the ignition switch is turned ON. If they do not, check the VDC OFF indicator lamp and then VDC OFF switch. Refer to "VDC OFF SWITCH". Check CAN communications. If there are no errors with VDC OFF switch and CAN communication system, check combination meter. Refer to "COMBINATION METERS".
2. Make sure the lamps turn off approximately 1 second after the ignition switch is turned ON. If the lamp does not turn off, conduct self-diagnosis.
3. With the engine running, make sure VDC OFF indicator lamp turns on and off when VDC OFF switch is turned on and off. If the indicator lamp status does not correspond to switch operation, check the VDC OFF switch system. Refer to "VDC OFF SWITCH".
4. Make sure ABS warning lamp, SLIP indicator lamp and VDC OFF indicator lamp turn off approximately 2 seconds after the engine is started. If ABS warning lamp, SLIP indicator lamp or VDC OFF indicator lamp have not turned off 10 seconds after the engine has been started, conduct self-diagnosis of the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).
5. After conducting the self-diagnosis, be sure to erase the error memory. Refer to "CONSULT-II Function (ABS).
