Is the DTC code output?
 | ▶ Check the power source circuit. |
 | ▶ Erase the DTC and recheck using GDS. |
The phenomena listed in the following table are not abnormal.
Condition | Explanation |
System check sound | When starting the engine, a thudding sound can sometimes be heard coming from inside the engine compartment. This is because the system operation check is being performed. |
ABS operation sound | 1. Sound of the motor inside the ABS hydraulic unit operation (whine). 2. Sound is generated along with vibration of the brake pedal (scraping). 3. When ABS operates, sound is generated from the vehicle chassis due to repeated brake application and release (Thump : suspension; squeak: tires) |
ABS operation (Long braking distance) | For road surfaces such as snow-covered and gravel roads, the braking distance for vehicles with ABS can sometimes be longer than that for other vehicles. Accordingly, advise the customer to drive safely on such roads by lowering the vehicle speed. |
Diagnosis detection conditions can vary depending on the diagnosis code. When checking the trouble symptom after the diagnosis code has been erased, ensure that the requirements listed in "Comment" are met. | |
Symptom | Suspect Area |
ABS does not operate. | Only when 1~4 are all normal and the problem is still occurring, replace the HECU. 1. Check the DTC reconfirming that the normal code is output. 2. Power source circuit. 3. Speed sensor circuit. 4. Check the hydraulic circuit for leakage. |
ABS does not operate intermittently. | Only when 1~4 are all normal and the problem is still occurring, replace the ABS actuator assembly. 1. Check the DTC reconfirming that the normal code is output. 2. Wheel speed sensor circuit. 3. Stop lamp switch circuit. 4. Check the hydraulic circuit for leakage. |
Communication with GDS is not possible. (Communication with any system is not possible) | 1. Power source circuit 2. CAN line |
Communication with GDS is not possible. (Communication with ABS only is not possible) | 1. Power source circuit 2. CAN line 3. HECU |
When ignition key is turned ON (engine OFF), the ABS warning lamp does not light up. | 1. ABS warning lamp circuit 2. HECU |
Even after the engine is started, the ABS warning lamp remains ON. | 1. ABS warning lamp circuit 2. HECU |
During ABS operation, the brake pedal may vibrate or may not be able to be depressed. Such phenomena are due to intermittent changes in hydraulic pressure inside the brake line to prevent the wheels from locking and is not an abnormality.
