CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

  • The electric parking brake may still operate up to 20 seconds after the engine switch is turned off. Before disconnecting connectors or fuses, turn the engine switch off and wait 20 seconds or more.
  • When replacing the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly), operate the electric parking brake switch (electric parking brake switch assembly) as the parking brake indicator light blinks (red) when the engine switch is first turned on (IG).

PROCEDURE

1.

READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (PERMISSION OF RH INTERLOCKING PKB LOCK / PERMISSION OF LH INTERLOCKING PKB LOCK)

(a) Turn the engine switch off.

(b) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(c) Turn the engine switch on (IG).

(d) Turn the Techstream on.

(e) Enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRAC/EPB / Data List.
