Inspection Procedure

  1. SELF-DIAGNOSIS RESULT CHECK

    Check self-diagnosis results.

    Self-diagnosis results
    YAW RATE SENSOR
    SIDE G-SEN CIRCUIT
    CAUTION: When on a turntable, such as at a parking structure entrance, or when on a moving object with the engine running, the VDC OFF indicator lamp might turn on and the self-diagnosis using the CONSULT the yaw rate sensor system might be displayed, but in this case there is no problem with the yaw rate sensor system. As soon as the vehicle leaves the turntable or moving object, restart the engine to return the system to normal.

    Is the above displayed in the self-diagnosis display items? 

    YES: GO TO  2.

    NO: Inspection End.

  2. CONNECTOR INSPECTION

    Disconnect the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) and yaw rate/side/decel G sensor connectors. Check the terminals for deformation, disconnection, looseness or damage.

    OK or NG 

    OK: GO TO  3.

    NG: Repair or replace as necessary.

  3. CHECK YAW RATE/SIDE/DECEL G SENSOR POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT

    Check voltage between yaw rate/side/decel G sensor connector B70 terminal 4 and ground.

    Yaw rate/side/decel G sensor Ground Condition Voltage (Approx.)
    Connector Terminal
    B70 4 - Ignition switch: ON Battery voltage
    Ignition switch: OFF 0V

    Is the inspection result normal? 

    YES: GO TO  4

    NO: Repair or replace malfunctioning circuit.

  4. CHECK YAW RATE/SIDE/DECEL G SENSOR GROUND SUPPLY CIRCUIT
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Check resistance between yaw rate/side/decel G sensor connector B70 terminal 1 and ground.
      Yaw rate/side/decel G sensor Ground Continuity
      Connector Terminal
      B70 1 - Yes

    Is the inspection result normal? 

    YES: GO TO  5

    NO: Repair or replace malfunctioning circuit.

  5. CHECK YAW RATE/SIDE/DECEL G SENSOR HARNESS
    1. Check continuity between ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector E33 (A) terminals 14 and 25 and yaw rate/side/decel G sensor connector B70 (B) terminals 2 and 3.
      ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) Yaw rate/side/decel G sensor Continuity
      Connector Terminal Connector Terminal
      E33 (A) 14 B70 (B) 2 Yes
      25 3
    2. Check continuity between ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector E33 (A) terminals 14, 25 and ground.
      ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) Ground Continuity
      Connector Terminal
      E33 (A) 14 - No
      25

      Is the inspection result normal? 

      YES: GO TO  6

      NO: Repair or replace malfunctioning circuits.

  6. CHECK DATA MONITOR
    1. Connect Yaw rate/side/decel G sensor and ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connectors.
    2. Select "YAW RATE SEN", "SIDE G-SENSOR" in "Data Monitor" and check Yaw rate/side/decel G sensor signal.
      Vehicle condition Yaw rate sensor (Data monitor) Side G sensor (Data monitor)
      Stopped Approx. 0 d/s Approx. 0 m/s2
      Turning right Negative value Negative value
      Turning left Positive value Positive value

      Is the inspection result normal? 

      YES: Replace ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit). Refer to REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .

      NO: Replace Yaw rate/side/decel G sensor. Refer to REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
