TEST MODE PROCEDURE

1. TEST MODE (SIGNAL CHECK) PROCEDURE (SST CHECK WIRE)

HINT:

(a) Turn the engine switch off.

(b) Check that the steering wheel is centered and move the shift lever to P.


(c) Using SST, connect terminals 12 (TS) and 4 (CG) of the DLC3.

SST: 09843-18040

(d) Turn the engine switch on (IG).


(e) Check that "VSC TEST MODE" is displayed on the multi-information display and check that the ABS warning light blinks in test mode.

HINT:

  • If the G sensor zero point calibration data is cleared, the ABS warning light comes on.
  • If the G sensor zero point calibration data is not cleared and the ABS warning light does not blink, inspect the 12 (TS) and 4 (CG) terminal circuit and the ABS warning light circuit.
