NOTES WITH REGARD TO DIAGNOSIS
The phenomena listed in the following table are not abnormal.
Phenomenon
System check sound
ABS operation sound
ABS operation
(Long braking distance)
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.
ABS <2WD> –
Explanation of phenomenon
When starting the engine, a thudding sound can sometimes be heard coming from inside
the engine compartment, but this is because the system operation check is being performed,
and is not an abnormality.
1. Sound of the motor inside the ABS hydraulic unit operation. (whine)
2. Sound is the generated along with vibration of the brake pedal. (scraping)
3. When ABS operates, sound is generated from the vehicle chassis due to repeated
brake application and release.
(Thump: suspension; squeak: tyres)
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.
