CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

When replacing the skid control ECU (master cylinder solenoid), perform calibration (See page ).
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.

PROCEDURE

1.	READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (CRAWL CONTROL SWITCH)

(a) Turn the ignition switch off.

(b) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(d) Turn the Techstream on.

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

(f) Check the Data List for proper functioning of the crawl control switch.

ABS/VSC/TRAC

Tester Display	Measurement Item/Range	Normal Condition	Diagnostic Note
Crawl Control Switch	Crawl speed selector switch status/ LOW, MIDLOW, MID, MIDHIGH or HIGH	Actual crawl speed selector switch position	-

OK:

The Techstream displays according to crawl control switch operation.

GO TO STEP 3

2.	CHECK TEST MODE DTC

(a) Perform the crawl control switch check in the Test Mode Procedure (See page OK: OK: ).

OK:

Test mode DTC C1379 is cleared.

USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK

REPLACE MASTER CYLINDER SOLENOID

3.	INSPECT DRIVE MONITOR SWITCH

(a) Remove the crawl control switch (drive monitor switch) (See page (b) Inspect the crawl control switch (drive monitor switch) (See page ).

(b) Inspect the crawl control switch (drive monitor switch) (See page ).

REPLACE DRIVE MONITOR SWITCH

4.	INSPECT ROOF CONSOLE BOX ASSEMBLY

(a) Remove the roof console box assembly.
