DECELERATION SENSOR CHECK

(a)

Connect 3 dry batteries of 1.5 V in series.

(b)

Connect VGS terminal to the batteries’ positive (+) termi-
nal, and GGND terminal to the batteries’ negative (–) ter-
minal, apply about 4.5 V between VGS – GGND termi-
nals.

NOTICE:

S

When inspecting deceleration sensor, remove it with
the bracket together. Do not remove the sensor from
the bracket. When replacing deceleration sensor, re-
place the sensor with it assembled to the bracket as-
sembly.

S

Do not apply voltage of 6 V or more to terminals VGS
and GGND.

(c)

Check the output voltage of GL1 and GL2 terminals.

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART

NOTICE:
Before replacing or removing the part, turn the ignition switch OFF.
HINT:

S

Using SST 09843–18040, connect the terminals Tc and CG of DLC3.

S

If any abnormality is not found when inspecting parts, inspect the ECU.

*1: These DTC will not affect to cancel the ABS warning light by repairing the trouble area, so perform
the following operations.
(1)

Drive the vehicle at 20 km/h (12 mph) for 30 seconds or more and check that the ABS warning
light goes off.

(2)

Clear the DTC (See page DI–205).

S

*2: These DTC will not affect to cancel the ABS warning light by repairing the trouble area, so perform
the following operations.
(1)

Keep the vehicle in the stationary condition for 5 seconds or more and depress the brake pedal
lightly 2 or 3 times.

(2)

Driving the vehicle at the vehicle speed 50 km/h (31 mph) and keep depressing the brake pedal
strongly for about 3 seconds.

(3)

Repeat the above operation 3 times or more and check that the ABS warning light goes off.

(4)

Clear the DTC (See page DI–205).

HINT:
There is a case that hand–held tester cannot be used when ABS warning light is always on.
