INSPECTION PROCEDURE

PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT FUSE (ABS MAIN3)




(a) Remove the ABS MAIN3 fuse from the engine room relay block.
(b) Measure the resistance of the fuse.
Standard resistance:
Below 1 Ohms
NG -- CHECK FOR SHORT IN ALL HARNESS AND CONNECTOR CONNECTED TO FUSE AND REPLACE FUSE
OK -- Continue to next step.

2. CHECK BRAKE CONTROL POWER SUPPLY (BC VOLTAGE)




(a) Measure the voltage of the connector.
HINT: Measure the voltage from behind the connector with the connector connected.

Standard voltage:






NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.

3. CHECK SKID CONTROL ECU (+BI1, +BI2 VOLTAGE)




(a) Measure the voltage of the connectors.
HINT: Measure the voltage from behind the connector with the connector connected to the skid control ECU.

Standard voltage:






NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.

4. CHECK SKID CONTROL ECU (+BO1, +BO2 VOLTAGE)




(a) Measure the voltage of the connectors.
HINT: Measure the voltage from behind the connector with the connector connected to the skid control ECU.

Standard voltage:






NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.

5. CHECK BRAKE CONTROL POWER SUPPLY (OUT, BCTY, OUT2 VOLTAGE)




(a) Measure the voltage of the connector.
HINT: Measure the voltage from behind the connector with the connector connected.

Standard voltage:






NG -- REPLACE BRAKE CONTROL POWER SUPPLY
OK -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR
