Anti-Lock: Other Lexus ES XV30

BLEEDING BRAKE SYSTEM

Note. If any work is done on the brake system or if air in the brake lines is suspected, bleed the air from the system. When bleeding, keep the amount of fluid within the line of the reservoir between Min. and Max. Use only SAE J1703 or FMVSS No. 116 DOT 3 brake fluid.

Note. If the master cylinder has been disassembled or if the reservoir becomes empty, bleed the air from the master cylinder. See MASTER CYLINDER .

BRAKE LINE

1. Fill reservoir with brake fluid.
2. Connect a vinyl tube to the brake caliper and place the other end in a clear jar.
3. Depress the brake pedal several times, then loosen the bleeder plug with the pedal held down.
4. At the point when fluid stops coming out, tighten the bleeder plug to specification. See «TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS»(ref-153071-S04812338842003031200000) .
5. Release the brake pedal. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until all the air in the fluid has been bled out.
6. Repeat procedure to bleed air out of the brake line for each wheel.

MASTER CYLINDER

Note. If the master cylinder has been disassembled or if the reservoir becomes empty, bleed the air from the master cylinder.

1. Remove air cleaner assembly with hose.
2. Disconnect brake lines from master cylinder with special tool (09023-00100).
3. Slowly depress brake pedal and hold it.
4. Block off outer holes with your fingers and release the brake pedal.
5. Repeat 3 and 4 several times.
6. Connect brake lines and install air cleaner assembly with hose. Bleed brake lines. See «BRAKE LINE»(ref-153071-S19250629612003031200000) .
7. Check fluid level in reservoir and add fluid if necessary.

PRE-CHECK

1. Release parking brake pedal.
2. When ignition switch is turned to ON, check that ABS warning light and BRAKE warning light illuminate for 3 seconds. When parking brake is applied or level of brake fluid is low, BRAKE warning light is illuminated.
3. If indicator check result is not normal, see appropriate test under «SYMPTOM TESTING»(ref-153071-S17471266342003031200000) .

RETRIEVING CODES

Note. When ABS warning light is illuminated constantly, LEXUS hand-held tester cannot be used.

With Hand-Held Tester

1. Connect LEXUS hand-held tester to the (DLC3). (Scheme 50) Turn ignition switch to ON. Please refer to the hand-held tester operator's manual for further details.
2. Read DTCs by following prompts on tester screen. If any ABS related DTCs are retrieved, perform appropriate test. See «DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS»(ref-153071-S41144349162003031800000).

Scheme 50

Without Hand-Held Tester

1. Using special tool (09843-18040), jumper between terminals Tc and CG of (DLC3). (Scheme 51)
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON. If any DTCs are stored, ABS warning light will flash code on the combination meter. To read flashing patterns for normal and codes 11 and 21 (Scheme 52)
3. If any ABS related DTCs are returned, perform appropriate test. See «DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS»(ref-153071-S41144349162003031800000).
4. If 2 or more malfunctions are indicated at the same time the lowest numbered DTC will be displayed first.
5. If a code does not appear, inspect the diagnostic circuit or ABS warning light circuit. See «TEST B»(ref-153071-S24950639902003031900000) or «TEST C»(ref-153071-S12822340432003031900000) under SYMPTOM TESTING.

CLEARING CODES

Note. Disconnecting the battery cable during repairs will not erase DTCs stored in ABS/TRAC ECU.

Note. When the ABS warning light is illuminated constantly the hand-held tester cannot be used.

1. Connect hand-held tester to (DLC3). (Scheme 50)
2. Turn ignition switch to ON.
3. Operate hand-held tester to erase DTCs. Please refer to hand-held tester operator's manual for further details.

1. Using special tool (09843-18040), Jumper between terminals Tc and CG of (DLC3). (Scheme 51)
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON. Depress brake pedal 8 or more times within 5 seconds.
3. Check that ABS warning light flashes normal code. (Scheme 52)
4. Remove special tool from the DLC3.

Active List

Note. Performing ACTIVE TEST using hand-held tester, allows the relay, VSV, actuator and so on to operate without parts removal. Performing ACTIVE TEST as a first step of troubleshooting is one method to shorten labor time. It is possible to display the DATA LIST during the ACTIVE TEST. (Scheme 54)

1. Connect hand-held tester to the DLC3. (Scheme 50)
2. Turn ignition switch to ON.
3. According to display on tester, read ACTIVE TEST. (Scheme 53)

Scheme 53

Data List

Note. According to the DATA LIST displayed by hand-held tester, you can read the value of the switch, sensor, actuator and so on without parts removal. Reading the DATA LIST as a first step of troubleshooting is one method to shorten labor time.

1. Connect hand-held tester to the DLC3. (Scheme 50)
2. Turn ignition switch to ON.
3. According to display on tester, read the DATA LIST. (Scheme 54)

Scheme 54

Freeze Frame Data

The vehicle (sensor) status at time of malfunction, and during ABS operation can be memorized and displayed using hand-held tester. Only one record of freeze frame data is stored. However, freeze frame data during ABS operation is constantly updated. After storage of freeze frame data, up to 31 ignition ON operations are stored and displayed. If ignition switch ON operation exceeds 31 times, "31" appears on the display. (Scheme 55)
