FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION
Should a failure occur in the ABS system, the ABS-
ECU isolates the system to retain the vehicle's ordi-
nary braking function, thus assuring a high measure
of safety.
If the ABS-ECU determines that the system
l
is defective as the result of diagnostic test mode,
DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTIONS
To facilitate inspection of the ABS system, the ABS-
ECU offers the following facilities:
Diagnostic trouble code output and erasure
l
Actuator test
l
All of the items described above can be checked
by the scan tool.
Scan Tool - ABS Interface
The scan tool function is entered by connecting
the scan tool to the data link connector. At this time,
it causes the ABS warning light to light, drives
the valve relay to interrupt control of the solenoid
valves in the HU, and restores the ordinary brak-
ing mode.
the vehicle must be stopped, and the ignition should
be OFF.
The ABS scan tool mode is entered when you select
the ABS system on the scan tool. In this mode,
diagnostic output, data list output and actuator test
functions are available. During an actuator test, how-
ever, the ABS warning light illuminates and anti-lock
control is inhibited to prevent ABS operation when
a brake is temporarily inactivated during the actuator
