DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
When troubleshooting a vehicle with the diagnosis system, the only difference from the usual troubleshooting procedure is connecting the GTS to the vehicle and reading various data output from the vehicle's skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly).
The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) records DTCs when the ECU detects a malfunction in the ECU itself or in its circuits.
To check the DTCs, connect the GTS to the DLC3 on the vehicle. The GTS enables you to clear the DTCs, activate the various actuators, and check the Freeze Frame Data and Data List.
(a) Check the auxiliary battery voltage.
Standard voltage:
11 to 14 V
If the voltage is below 11 V, recharge the auxiliary battery before proceeding to the next step.
(b) Check the DLC3.

DIAGNOSIS
(a) If a malfunction occurs in one part of the system, the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) illuminates the warning light corresponding to the malfunctioning system (ABS warning light, brake system warning light or slip indicator light).
(b) The DTCs are simultaneously stored in memory. The DTCs can be read by connecting the GTS.
