Toyota 4Runner Service Manual / Brake / Brake Control / Dynamic Control Systems / Vehicle Stability Control System(for Hydraulic Brake Booster) / ABS Warning Light Remains ON

DESCRIPTION

If any of the following is detected, the ABS warning light remains on.

The skid control ECU connectors are disconnected from the skid control ECU.
There is a malfunction in the skid control ECU internal circuit.
There is an open in the harness between the combination meter and skid control ECU.
The anti-lock brake system is defective.
The voltage at terminal IG1 is high.
The rear differential is locked.*

*: w/ Rear Differential Lock

HINT:

It may not be possible to use the Techstream when the skid control ECU is abnormal.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

When replacing the master cylinder solenoid, perform calibration (See page ).

Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.

PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK THAT SKID CONTROL ECU CONNECTOR IS SECURELY CONNECTED

(a) Check the skid control ECU connector connection.

OK:

The connector is securely connected.

CONNECT CONNECTOR TO ECU CORRECTLY

2.	CHECK FOR DTC

(a) Check for DTCs (See page ).

DTC is not output	A
DTC is output	B

REPAIR CIRCUITS INDICATED BY OUTPUT DTCS

3.	CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION LINE

(a) Turn the ignition switch off.

(b) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(d) Turn the Techstream on.

(e) Select CAN Bus Check from the System Selection Menu screen and follow the prompts on the screen to inspect the CAN bus (See page ).

OK:

CAN Bus Check indicates no malfunctions in CAN communication.

GO TO CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM (HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING)

4.	READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (IG1 VOLTAGE VALUE)
