Component Inspection

  1. IG "OFF".
  2. Disconnect the ESC (ESP) switch connector.
  3. Measure resistance between power terminal and signal terminal of the ESC (ESP) switch connector.
  4. Measure waveform between signal terminal of the wheel speed sensor harness connector and chassis ground with oscilloscope.

    Specification:  Approx. below 1Ω - (In case of pressing the ESC (ESP) switch)

    Approx. ∞ Ω - (In case of not pressing the ESC (ESP) switch)

  5. Is the measured resistance within specifications?

    YES 

    • Fault is intermittent caused by poor connection in ESC (ESP) switch harness and/or HECU's connector. Go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.

    NO 

    • Substitute with a known-good ESC (ESP) switch and check for proper operation. If problem is corrected, replace ESC (ESP) switch and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
