PRECAUTIONS FOR DIAGNOSIS

M1355009500113
1. ASC controls the brake pressure by the assistance of ECU.
The symptoms described in the table below may occur

cardiagn.com
during the normal ASC operation. However, they do not
indicate any sign of malfunction.
Symptoms Description of symptoms
• When ASC operates, the operating noise is generated from These noises are generated when the
the motor integrated in the hydraulic unit. (Screech) system and brake pedal operate
• Noise is generated from the brake pedal together with the normally, and they do not indicate any
vibration. (Boom, boom) sign of malfunction.
• When ASC operates, the system repeats the activation and
deactivation. At this time, the noise is generated from the
chassis components. (Clunk: Suspension; Squeak: Tire)
• A slight shock is felt occasionally when the brake pedal is This noise is generated when the system

• Small clicking noise is heard occasionally from the engine performed when the vehicle speed is at
compartment. few km/h (mile)> is performed, and it
does not indicate any malfunction.

2. On snowy or gravel roads, a vehicle with ABS sometimes

requires a longer braking distance compared to the one
without ABS. Considering this characteristics, advise the
customer to drive the vehicle safely at lower speed and not
to place too much confidence on the ABS system when
driving on such roads.
3. The detection conditions of diagnostic trouble code differ
with each diagnostic trouble code. When the trouble
symptoms are rechecked, conditions described in the
description for the diagnostic trouble code procedures must
be satisfied.

DIAGNOSIS

CAUTION
• If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incor-
rect diagnostic trouble code may be set. Prior to this
diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines.
• Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN
bus lines are normal.
• When the hydraulic unit (integrated with ASC-ECU) is
replaced, always perform the calibration of steering
wheel sensor, G and yaw rate sensor, brake fluid pres-
sure sensor, cut valve, and inlet valve.(Refer to
P.35C-287, P.35C-289, P.35C-294, and P.35C-295.)
.

CIRCUIT OPERATION
• Each wheel speed detecting section is a kind of a pulse
generator. It consists of the encoder (plate on which the
north and south pole of magnet are arranged alternately) for
detecting the wheel speed, which rotates at the same speed
of the wheels, and the wheel speed sensor. This detecting
section outputs the frequency pulse signals in proportion to

cardiagn.com
the wheel speed.
• The pulse signals generated by the wheel speed detecting
section are sent to ASC-ECU. ASC-ECU uses the fre-
quency of the pulse signals to determine the wheel speed.
.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

ASC-ECU monitors the electric current in each wheel speed
sensor circuit. If an open or short circuit in the wheel speed
sensor circuit is detected, ASC-ECU sets a corresponding
diagnostic trouble code.
.

PROBABLE CAUSES
Current trouble
• Damaged wiring harness and connectors
• Noise interference
• Malfunction of wheel speed sensor
• ABS-ECU malfunction
Past trouble
• Carry out the diagnosis with a particular emphasis on the
wiring harness and connector failures between ASC-ECU
and the wheel speed sensor. For diagnosis procedures,
refer to How to Treat Past Trouble (GROUP 00 −How to
Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points P.00-16).

CAUTION
• If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incor-
rect diagnostic trouble code may be set. Prior to this
diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines.
• Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN
bus lines are normal.
• When the hydraulic unit (integrated with ASC-ECU) is
replaced, always perform the calibration of steering
wheel sensor, G and yaw rate sensor, brake fluid pres-
sure sensor, cut valve, and inlet valve.(Refer to

CIRCUIT OPERATION
• Each wheel speed detecting section is a kind of a pulse
generator. It consists of the encoder (plate on which the
north and south pole of magnet are arranged alternately) for
detecting the wheel speed, which rotates at the same speed
of the wheels, and the wheel speed sensor. This detecting
section outputs the frequency pulse signals in proportion to

the wheel speed.
• The pulse signals generated by the wheel speed detecting
section are sent to ASC-ECU. ASC-ECU uses the fre-
quency of the pulse signals to determine the wheel speed.
.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

ASC-ECU monitors the electric current in each wheel speed
sensor circuit. If an open or short circuit in the wheel speed
sensor circuit is detected, ASC-ECU sets a corresponding
diagnostic trouble code.

CAUTION
• If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incor-
rect diagnostic trouble code may be set. Prior to this
diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines.
• Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN
bus lines are normal.
• When the hydraulic unit (integrated with ASC-ECU) is
replaced, always perform the calibration of steering
wheel sensor, G and yaw rate sensor, brake fluid pres-
sure sensor, cut valve, and inlet valve.(Refer to
P.35C-287, P.35C-289, P.35C-294, and P.35C-295.)
.

CIRCUIT OPERATION
• Each wheel speed detecting section is a kind of a pulse
generator. It consists of the encoder (plate on which the
north and south pole of magnet are arranged alternately) for
detecting the wheel speed, which rotates at the same speed
of the wheels, and the wheel speed sensor. This detecting
section outputs the frequency pulse signals in proportion to

cardiagn.com
the wheel speed.
• The pulse signals generated by the wheel speed detecting
section are sent to ASC-ECU. ASC-ECU uses the fre-
quency of the pulse signals to determine the wheel speed.
.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

ASC-ECU monitors the signals from each wheel speed sensor
while the vehicle is being driven. If any abnormality below is
detected in the sensor signals, ASC-ECU sets the relevant
diagnostic trouble code.
• Irregular change in the wheel speed sensor signal
• Wheel speed sensor signal continuously indicates higher
value than the values of other wheel speed sensors.
.

PROBABLE CAUSES
Current trouble
• Excessive gap between the wheel speed sensor and the
magnetic encoder for wheel speed detection
• Adhesion of foreign materials on the wheel speed sensor
• Adhesion of foreign materials on the magnetic encoder for
wheel speed detection
• Wheel bearing malfunction
• Malfunction of wheel speed sensor
• Damaged wiring harness and connectors
• External noise interference
• Improper installation of the wheel speed sensor
• Deformation of the magnetic encoder for wheel speed
detection
• ASC-ECU malfunction
• Disturbance of magnetization pattern for magnetic encoder
for wheel speed detection

CAUTION
• If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incor-
rect diagnostic trouble code may be set. Prior to this
diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines.
• Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN
bus lines are normal.
• When the hydraulic unit (integrated with ASC-ECU) is
replaced, always perform the calibration of steering
wheel sensor, G and yaw rate sensor, brake fluid pres-
sure sensor, cut valve, and inlet valve.(Refer to

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION
• Each wheel speed detecting section is a kind of a pulse
generator. It consists of the encoder (plate on which the
north and south pole of magnet are arranged alternately) for
detecting the wheel speed, which rotates at the same speed
of the wheels, and the wheel speed sensor. This detecting
section outputs the frequency pulse signals in proportion to

cardiagn.com
the wheel speed.
• The pulse signals generated by the wheel speed detecting
section are sent to ASC-ECU. ASC-ECU uses the fre-
quency of the pulse signals to determine the wheel speed.
.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

ASC-ECU monitors the signals from each wheel speed sensor
while the vehicle is being driven. If any abnormality below is
detected in the sensor signals, ASC-ECU sets the relevant
diagnostic trouble code.
• Irregular change in the wheel speed sensor signal
• Wheel speed sensor signal continuously indicates higher
value than the values of other wheel speed sensors.
.

DTC C1035: Mutual monitoring of RR wheel speed sensor

CAUTION
• If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incor-
rect diagnostic trouble code may be set. Prior to this
diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines.
• Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN
bus lines are normal.
• When the hydraulic unit (integrated with ASC-ECU) is
replaced, always perform the calibration of steering
wheel sensor, G and yaw rate sensor, brake fluid pres-
sure sensor, cut valve, and inlet valve.(Refer to
P.35C-287, P.35C-289, P.35C-294, and P.35C-295.)
.

CIRCUIT OPERATION
• Each wheel speed detecting section is a kind of a pulse
generator. It consists of the encoder (plate on which the
north and south pole of magnet are arranged alternately) for
detecting the wheel speed, which rotates at the same speed
of the wheels, and the wheel speed sensor. This detecting
section outputs the frequency pulse signals in proportion to
the wheel speed.
• The pulse signals generated by the wheel speed detecting
section are sent to ASC-ECU. ASC-ECU uses the fre-
quency of the pulse signals to determine the wheel speed.

diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines.
• Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN
bus lines are normal.
• When the hydraulic unit (integrated with ASC-ECU) is

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION
• Each wheel speed detecting section is a kind of a pulse
generator. It consists of the encoder (plate on which the
north and south pole of magnet are arranged alternately) for
detecting the wheel speed, which rotates at the same speed
of the wheels, and the wheel speed sensor. This detecting
section outputs the frequency pulse signals in proportion to
the wheel speed.
• The pulse signals generated by the wheel speed detecting
section are sent to ASC-ECU. ASC-ECU uses the fre-
quency of the pulse signals to determine the wheel speed.
.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

This diagnostic trouble code is set if any malfunction below is
detected.
• When the brake fluid pressure is decreased for a long time.
• When the brake fluid pressure is held for a long time.
NOTE: ASC controls the vehicle based on the wheel speed sig-
nal. When the brake fluid pressure is decreased or held for an
abnormally long time, the wheel speed sensor signal may have
a problem.

rect diagnostic trouble code may be set. Prior to this
diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines.
• Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN
bus lines are normal.
• When the hydraulic unit (integrated with ASC-ECU) is
replaced, always perform the calibration of steering
wheel sensor, G and yaw rate sensor, brake fluid pres-
sure sensor, cut valve, and inlet valve.(Refer to
P.35C-287, P.35C-289, P.35C-294, and P.35C-295.)

CIRCUIT OPERATION
• The wheel cylinder pressure sensor is integrated into the
hydraulic unit. It converts the signal of brake fluid pressure
in wheel cylinder of each wheel to the voltage value, then
outputs the value to ASC-ECU.
• The wheel cylinder pressure sensor contains the following
two signal output sections: Fluid pressure signal output sec-
tion and fluid pressure and temperature signal output sec-
tion.

CAUTION
• ABS may operate in the following conditions without hard braking: Low mu road surface,
high-speed turn, and bumpy road surface. When asking the customers, confirm if they have
encountered ABS operation in corresponding conditions.
• Even when the ASC operation display does not appear, the ASC operation noise (pump, motor,
and others) may be generated. This occurs because the pump, motor, and others operate to accu-
mulate the braking force before the application of braking force to wheels, and it is not a malfunc-
tion.
• During ABS operation, as the brake pedal is gradually drawn inward, the noise is generated. This
occurs because the brake line pressure varies intermittently to prevent the wheel lock, and it is
not a malfunction.
CAUTION
During diagnosis, a DTC associated with other system may be set when the ignition switch is turned
ON with connector(s) disconnected. On completion, confirm all systems for diagnostic trouble
code(s). If diagnostic trouble code(s) are set, erase them all.

IN THE EVENT OF A DISCHARGED BATTERY

WARNING
If the ASC is not operating, the vehicle will be unsta-
ble during braking, Do not drive the vehicle with the
ASC-ECU connector disconnected or with the ASC
not operating.
If the engine is started using a booster cable when the battery
is completely flat, and the vehicle is then driven without waiting
for the battery to be recharged, the engine may misfire and it
may not be possible to drive the vehicle. This is because the
ASC consumes a large amount of current when carrying out its
initial checks. If this happens, recharge the battery fully.
