PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE

If there are no DTCs output and the problem still occurs, check the circuits for each problem symptom in the order given in the following table and proceed to the relevant troubleshooting page.

NOTICE:

When replacing the brake actuator assembly, sensors, etc., turn the ignition switch off.

HINT:

  • Use the table below to help determine the cause of problem symptoms. If multiple suspected areas are listed, the potential causes of the symptoms are listed in order of probability in the "Suspected Area" column of the table. Check each symptom by checking the suspected areas in the order they are listed. Replace parts as necessary.
  • Inspect the fuses and relays related to this system before inspecting the suspected areas below.

Symptom

Suspected Area

See page

ABS, BA and/or EBD does not operate.

Check for DTCs again and make sure that the normal system code is output.

IG power source circuit

Front speed sensor circuit

Rear speed sensor circuit

Check the brake actuator assembly using the Techstream. (Check brake actuator assembly operation using the Active Test function.) If abnormal, check the hydraulic circuit for leaks.

If the symptoms still occur even after the above circuits in suspected areas have been inspected and proved to be normal, replace the brake actuator assembly (skid control ECU).

ABS, BA and/or EBD does not operate efficiently.

Check for DTCs again and make sure that the normal system code is output.

Front speed sensor circuit

Rear speed sensor circuit

Stop light switch circuit

Check the brake actuator assembly using the Techstream. (Check brake actuator assembly operation using the Active Test function.) If abnormal, check the hydraulic circuit for leaks.

If the symptoms still occur even after the above circuits in suspected areas have been inspected and proved to be normal, replace the brake actuator assembly (skid control ECU).

ABS sensor DTC check cannot be done.

Check for DTCs again and make sure that the normal system code is output.
