TROUBLESHOOTING

ANTI-SKID BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)

35B-39

NOTE: 

 After inspecting intermediate connector A-14, 
inspect the wire. If the connector is damaged, repair 
or replace it. Then go to Step 3.

Q: Is any harness wire between fusible link number 3 

and ABS-ECU connector B-03 (terminal 1 and 19) 
damaged?

YES : 

Repair it and go to Step 3.

NO : 

This malfunction is intermittent. Refer to 
GROUP 00, How to Use 
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points

.

STEP 3. Check whether the diagnosis code is 
reset.

Q: Is diagnosis code No.41, 42, 43, 44, 52, 53 or 55 

set?

YES : 

Start over at Step 1.

NO : 

The procedure is complete.

INSPECTION CHART FOR TROUBLE 
SYMPTOMS

M1352011400664

NOTE: If steering movements are made when 
driving at high speed, or when driving on road 
surfaces with low frictional resistance, or when 
passing over bumps, the ABS may operate although 
sudden braking is not being applied. Because of this, 
when getting information from the customer, check if 
the problem occurred while driving under such 
conditions as these.

NOTE: During ABS operation, the brake pedal may 
vibrate a little or may not be able to be pressed. Such 
conditions are due to intermittent changes in 
hydraulic pressure inside the brake line to prevent 
the wheels from locking. This is normal.

OPERATION

•

The diagnostic output is made from the 
ABS-ECU (terminal 13) to the diagnosis output 
terminal (terminal 7) of the diagnosis connector.

•

When the diagnosis connector's diagnosis test 
mode control terminal (terminal 1) is grounded, 
the ABS-ECU (terminal 4) will go into diagnosis 
mode.

COMMENT ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM
When communication with the MUT-II/III is not 
possible, the cause is probably an open circuit in the 
ABS-ECU power circuit or an open circuit in the 
diagnostic output circuit.

PROBABLE CAUSES
The most likely causes for this case are:

•

Blown fuse

•

Damaged wiring harness or connector

•

Malfunction of the hydraulic unit (Integrated with 
ABS-ECU)

DIAGNOSIS

STEP 1. Voltage measurement at the ABS-ECU 
connector B-03.

(1) Disconnect ABS-ECU connector B-03 and 

measure at the harness side.

(2) Start the engine.

(3) Measure the voltage between terminal 20 and 

earth.

OK: System voltage

Q: Is the check result normal? 

YES : 

Go to Step 3.

NO : 

Go to Step 2.
