G-SENSOR <4WD>
   
The G-sensor detects fore-and-aft accelerations of a vehicle with semiconductors, and sends signals representing voltage values to ABS-ECU. The ABS-ECU estimates the vehicle speed required for control according to the signals from the G sensor and ABS sensor.
ACTUATORS
ABS WARNING LAMP
   
The ABS warning lamp is controlled by the ABS-ECU. The warning lamp drive circuit in the combination meter contains an reversal circuit, which turns the ABS warning lamp off when the transistor in the ABS-ECU is ON and turns the lamp on when the transistor is OFF. When the system is normal, the ABS-ECU keeps the transistor ON. When it detects a system error, it turns the transistor OFF to turn the ABS warning lamp on. The ABS warning lamp also comes on when the ABS-ECU connector is disconnected.
ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (ECU)
DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTIONS
The ABS-ECU includes the following functions to make system inspection easier.
All of the above operations can be carried out using the MUT-II/III.
  • Diagnosis code output
  • service data output
  • Actuator testing
FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION
Diagnosis code No.

NOTE: Control stopped: Control is not carried out until the ignition switch is turned to the "LOCK" (OFF) position. However, if the problem returns to normal, control is carried out again.
System interrupted: Control is not carried out until the ignition switch is turned to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
DIAGNOSIS CODE INDICATION METHOD
The diagnosis codes can be checked using the MUT-II/III, and also by the flashing of the ABS warning lamp. (Refer to Service Manual.)
DIAGNOSIS CODE CLEARING PROCEDURE
The diagnosis codes can be cleared using the MUT-II/III or by special operation for the brake pedal. (Refer to Service Manual.)
SERVICE DATA OUTPUT
The data input from all sensors and switches can be read using the MUT-II/III.
