VDC ACTUATOR

Turn ignition switch OFF and Disconnect VDC actuator connectors. Check continuity and resistance value
between any pair of terminals on the actuator.

CAUTION:

Make sure actuator motor is correctly grounded.
Continuity and resistance

Actuator Operation Inspection

●

Turn ignition switch OFF, apply a voltage of 12 V between VDC
relay box connector E56 terminal 5 and 8, use an oscilloscope
to measure motor voltage at this time (between terminal 4 and
ground), and check motor reverse voltage occurrence time
when operation is stopped.

CAUTION:

●

Above check should be performed after motor relay unit
inspection to make sure relay operates normally.

●

To prevent overheating, do not drive actuator motor more
than 4 seconds.

●

Motor reverse voltage occurrence time is standard when
battery voltage is 12 V and the air temperature is 20

°

C

(68

°

F), and this time is a little shorter when battery voltage

is low or the air temperature is low.

CHECK FUNCTION

Disconnect VDC/TCS/ABS control unit connector, and make sure the braking force is sufficient when the ABS
is not operating. After the inspection, reconnect connector.

OK or NG

The Braking Distance Is Long

NFS000DF

CAUTION:

On slippery road surfaces, the stopping distance might be longer with the ABS operating than when
the ABS is not operating.

1. 

CHECK FUNCTION

1.

Turn ignition switch “OFF”.

2.
