DSC Control Inspection

  1. Perform "Preparation".
  2. Connect the WDS or equivalent to the DLC-2.
  3. Set up an active command mode inspection according to the combination of commands below. CAUTION: To protect the DSC HU/CM, the solenoid valve and the pump motor used during active command mode stay on for only 10 s or less each time they are switched on.

  4. Send the command while rotating the wheel being inspected by hand in a forward direction.
  5. Confirm that the wheel does not rotate easily while a DSC HU/CM operation click sound is heard. Performing the inspection above determines the following: The DSC HU/CM brake lines are normal. The DSC HU/CM hydraulic system is not significantly abnormal (including DSC HU/CM). The DSC HU/CM internal electrical parts (solenoid, motor and other parts) are normal. The DSC unit and DSC HU/CM output system wiring harnesses (solenoid valve, relay system) are normal. However, the following items cannot be verified. Malfunction with intermittent occurrence of the above items Malfunction of DSC HU/CM input system wiring harnesses and parts Extremely small leaks in the DSC HU/CM internal hydraulic system

DSC HU/CM INSPECTION

  1. Disconnect the DSC HU/CM connector. (See «DSC HU/CM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION»(ref-244445-S08987664242006092400000) .)
  2. Connect the negative battery cable. (See «BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [LF]»(ref-244448-S25513985422006092400000) .)
  3. Attach the tester lead to the DSC HU/CM harness side connector, then inspect voltage, continuity or resistance according to the standard (reference value) on «REFERENCE VALUE TABLE»(ref-244445-S26737976162006092400000) .
