PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK FOR DTC (VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM)

(a) Clear the DTCs.

Chassis > Brake/EPB > Clear DTCs

(b) Turn the engine switch off.

(c) Drive the vehicle, accelerate to a speed of 20 km/h (12 mph) or more, and check if any DTCs related to a speed sensor or acceleration sensor are output.

Chassis > Brake/EPB > Trouble Codes

Result

Proceed to

Vehicle stability control system DTC (speed sensor or acceleration sensor DTC) is not output

A

Vehicle stability control system DTC (speed sensor or acceleration sensor DTC) is output
