Check the encoder for adhesion of foreign materials
or deformation.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 11.

NO (Adhesion of foreign materials) :

Remove the

foreign materials and clean the encoder so
as not to disturb the magnetization pattern
on it while taking care of the magnet,
magnetic substance, and magnetic
attraction. Then go to Step 13.

NO <Deformation> :

Replace the rear wheel hub

assembly <RR> (Refer to GROUP 27

−

Rear axle hub assembly ). Then go to Step
13.

STEP 11. Check whether the diagnosis code is
reset.
(1) Erase the diagnosis code.
(2) Drive the vehicle at 20 km/h or higher.

NOTE: The ABS warning lamp does not turn OFF
in some cases unless the vehicle runs at 20 km/h
or higher.

Q: Is the diagnosis code No.C1049 set?

YES :

Replace the wheel speed sensor <RR>

(Refer to

P.35C-188

). Then go to Step 12.

NO :

00

− How to Use Troubleshooting/How to

Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions).

STEP 12. Check whether the diagnosis code is
reset.
(1) Erase the diagnosis code.
(2) Drive the vehicle at 20 km/h or higher.

NOTE: The ABS warning lamp does not turn OFF
in some cases unless the vehicle runs at 20 km/h
or higher.

CAUTION

• If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines,

an incorrect diagnosis code may be set. Prior
to this diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines
(Refer to GROUP 54C

− CAN Bus Diagnostics

Table ).

• Whenever ECU is replaced, ensure that the

CAN bus lines are normal.

• When the hydraulic unit (integrated with ASC-

ECU) is replaced, always carry out the calibra-
tion of the steering wheel sensor, the G and
yaw rate sensor and brake fluid pressure sen-
sor (Refer to

P.35C-182

,

P.35C-183

and

P.35C-

184

).

OPERATION

• ASC-ECU contains the power supply circuit (ter-

minal No. 32) for the solenoid valve. The solenoid
valve is energised by the valve relay, which is
incorporated in ASC-ECU.

• The valve relay, which is incorporated in ASC-

ECU, is always energising the solenoid valve
unless the initial check is in progress when the
ignition switch is turned on, or the recurrent sys-
tem check is in progress.

• ASC-ECU activates the solenoid valve by turning

on its driving transistor.

DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS
These diagnosis codes will be set under the cases
below:

• The solenoid valve is not energized even after

ASC-ECU has turned on the driving transistor
(Open circuit is present in the power supply cir-
cuit to the ASC-ECU solenoid valve, or the valve
relay has failed).

• After ASC-ECU has turned off the driving transis-

tor, the solenoid valve still remains energized
(short in the solenoid valve circuit).

• When a solenoid valve failure is detected

PROBABLE CAUSES

• ASC-ECU malfunction

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. M.U.T.-III CAN bus diagnosis
Use M.U.T.-III to diagnose the CAN bus lines.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 3.

NO :

Repair the CAN bus lines (Refer to GROUP
54C

− CAN Bus Diagnostics Table ). On

completion, go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Diagnosis code recheck after resetting
CAN bus lines

Q: Is the relevant diagnosis code set?

YES :

Go to Step 3.

NO :

This diagnosis is complete.

STEP 3. Check whether the diagnosis code is
reset.
Erase the diagnosis code.

Q: Is the relevant diagnosis code set?

YES :

Replace the hydraulic unit (integrated with

ASC-ECU) (Refer to

P.35C-185

). Then go

to Step 4.

NO :

Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP
00

− How to Use Troubleshooting/How to

Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions ).

STEP 4. Check whether the diagnosis code is
reset.
Erase the diagnosis code.

Q: Is the relevant diagnosis code set?

YES :

Return to Step 1.

NO :

This diagnosis is complete.
