NOTES WITH REGARD TO DIAGNOSIS

M1352012600177

1. The ABS is a system which controls the brake

pressure by means of the operation of the ECU.
Accordingly, the following symptoms may occur at
times, but these are a sign of normal ABS
operation, and do not indicate a malfunction.

2. For road surfaces such as snow-covered roads

and gravel roads, the braking distance for
vehicles with ABS can sometimes be longer than
that for other vehicles. Accordingly, advise the
customer to drive safely on such roads by
lowering the vehicle speed and not being too
overconfident.

3. Diagnosis detection condition can vary depending

on the diagnosis code. Make sure that checking
requirements listed in the "Comment" are satisfied
when checking the trouble symptom again.

Phenomenon

Explanation of phenomenon

When the engine starts, a knocking sound can be heard coming
from the engine compartment.

This sound occurs as a result of system
operation checking, and is not a
malfunction.

•

Sound of the motor inside the ABS hydraulic unit operation.
(whine)

•

Sound is the generated along with vibration of the brake
pedal. (scraping)

•

When ABS operates, sound is generated from the vehicle
chassis due to repeated brake application and release.
(Thump: suspension; squeak: tyres)

This is the sound of normal system
operation, and is not a malfunction.

Shocks are felt if the brake pedal is depressed when driving at
low speed.

This is due to system operation checking
(starting-of check when the vehicle speed
reaches a certain number of km/h) and is
not a malfunction.

ABS WARNING LAMP INSPECTION

M1352012000197

Check that the ABS warning lamp illuminates as
follows.
1. When the ignition switch is turned to the "ON"

position, the ABS warning lamp illuminates for
approximately 3 seconds and then switches off.

2. When the ignition switch is turned to the "START"

position, the ABS warning lamp remains
illuminated.

3. When the ignition switch is turned from the

"START" position back to the "ON" position, the
ABS warning lamp illuminates for approximately 3
seconds and then switches off.
NOTE: The ABS waning lamp may remain on until
the vehicle reaches a speed of several km/h. This
is limited to cases where diagnosis code Nos. 21
to 24, 41 to 44, or 53 to 55 have been recorded
because of a previous problem occurring. In this
case, the ABS-ECU keeps the warning lamp
illuminated until the problem corresponding to that
diagnosis code can be detected.

4. If the illumination is other than the above, check

the diagnosis codes.

.

When Using the ABS Warning Lamp
1. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF)

position.

2. Use special tool diagnosis code check harness

(MB991529) to earth terminal number 1
(diagnosis control terminal) of the diagnosis
connector.

3. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

4. Read out a diagnosis code by observing how the
