[WITH VDC (ESP)]

VDC (ESP) WARNING LAMP, ABS WARNING LAMP AND BRAKE WARNING 

LAMP TURN ON

VDC (ESP) WARNING LAMP, ABS WARNING LAMP AND BRAKE WARN-
ING LAMP TURN ON

Description

INFOID:0000000010737210

ABS warning lamp and Brake warning lamp turn ON for a moment when restating the engine. (Vehicles with
the stop / start system)

Diagnosis Procedure

INFOID:0000000010737211

1.

CHECK ABS ACTUATOR AND ELECTRIC UNIT (CONTROL UNIT)

With CONSULT

1.

Start the engine.

CAUTION:

The vehicle must be in a stopped state.

2.

Connect booster battery (12V) and jumper cable to battery cable.

3.

Select “ACTIVE TEST” in “ENGINE”.

4.

Select “AUTO STOP START” in “ACTIVE TEST”.

5.

Touch “Start”.

CAUTION:

• Since the engine runs with the hood open, special care must be taken when performing the

work.

• If the idling stop state cannot be developed.
- M/T models: Refer to 

EC-848, "STOP/START SYSTEM : System Description (M/T models)"

.

- CVT models: Refer to 

EC-856, "STOP/START SYSTEM : System Description (CVT models)"

.

6.

Check the ABS warning lamp state and the brake warning lamp state when “Cancel” is touched under the
idling stop state. 

Are the ABS warning lamp and the brake warning lamp OFF?

YES

>> Check the battery. Refer to 

PG-120, "R9M : Work Flow"

.

NO

>> GO TO 2.

2.

PERFORM THE SELF-DIAGNOSIS

With CONSULT

1.

Turn the ignition switch OFF 

→

 ON.

CAUTION:

• Be sure to wait of 10 seconds after turning ignition switch OFF or ON.
• Start the engine.

2.

Repeat step 1 two or more times.

3.

Perform self-diagnosis for “ABS”.

Is any DTC detected?

YES

>> Check the DTC. Refer to 

BRC-84, "DTC Index"

.

NO

>> INSPECTION END

NORMAL OPERATING CONDITION

Description

INFOID:0000000010723756

Symptom

Result

Brake pedal slightly vibrates and operation sound (motor sound and sound from suspen-
sion) occurs when VDC function, TCS function, ABS function, EBD function, brake limited 
slip differential (BLSD) function, brake assist function, brake force distribution function, hill 
start assist function or advanced hill descent control function (4WD models with gasoline 
engine) operates.

This is not a malfunction, because it is 
caused by VDC function, TCS function, 
ABS function, EBD function, brake limited 
slip differential (BLSD) function, brake as-
sist function, brake force distribution func-
tion, hill start assist function and 
advanced hill descent control function 
(4WD models with gasoline engine) that 
are normally operated.

Brake stopping distance may become longer than models without ABS function depending 
on the road conditions, when ABS function is operated on slippery road like rough road, 
gravel road or snowy road.

Brake pedal vibrates and operation sound occurs during sudden acceleration and corner-
ing, when VDC function, TCS function, brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function, brake 
assist function or brake force distribution function is operated.

Brake pedal vibrates and motor sound from the engine room occurs, when the engine starts 
or the vehicle starts just after starting the engine.

This is not a malfunction, because it is 
caused by operation check of ABS actua-
tor and electric unit (control unit).

Acceleration may be felt insufficient depending on the road conditions.

This is not a malfunction, because it is 
caused by TCS function that puts the 
highest priority to obtain the optimum 
traction (stability).

TCS function may operate momentarily, while driving on a road where friction coefficient 
varies, or when downshifting, or fully depressing accelerator pedal.

ABS warning lamp and VDC warning lamp may turn ON, when the vehicle is on a rotating 
turntable or is given a strong shaking or large vibrations on a ship while the engine is run-
ning.

In this case, restart the engine on a nor-
mal road. If the normal condition is re-
stored, there is no malfunction. In that 
case, erase “ABS” self-diagnosis result 
memory with CONSULT.

VDC warning lamp may turn ON and VDC function, TCS function, brake limited slip differ-
ential (BLSD) function, brake assist function and brake force distribution function may not 
normally operate, when driving on a special road the is extremely slanted (bank in a circuit 
course).

A malfunction in yaw rate/side/decel G sensor system may be detected when the vehicle 
sharply turns during a spin turn, acceleration turn or drift driving while VDC function, TCS 
function, brake assist function and brake force distribution function are OFF (VDC OFF 
switch is pressed and VDC OFF indicator lamp is in ON status).

The vehicle speed does not increase, when the accelerator pedal is depressed while the 
vehicle is on a 2-wheel chassis dynamometer for speedometer check.

This is normal. (When checking the vehi-
cle on a chassis dynamometer, operate 
VDC OFF switch so that TCS function is 
OFF.)

Flow sound of brake fluid from engine room occurs when hill start assist function operates.

This is not a malfunction, because it is 
caused by hill start assist function that is 
normally operated.
