Toyota CH-R Service Manual: TRAC does not Operate

Toyota CH-R Service Manual / Brake Control / Dynamic Control Systems / Vehicle Stability Control System / TRAC does not Operate

DESCRIPTION

When ABS, TRAC or VSC is operating, the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) blinks the slip indicator light to inform the driver that slippage occurred.

When in VSC off mode, or TRAC and VSC are disabled, the multi-information display in the combination meter assembly displays TRAC OFF message and the VSC OFF indicator light illuminates to inform the driver.

When a communication malfunction with the ECM is detected, TRAC and VSC are disabled. Also when the system is malfunctioning, TRAC and VSC are disabled and the indicator lights of related systems illuminate.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

When replacing the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly), perform system variant learning.

  • Even when the system is normal, VSC may not operate when the vehicle speed is low or TRAC may not operate due to a malfunction. Make sure that only the drive wheels slip during the procedure.
  • When confirming that the slip indicator light blinks, do not slip the drive wheels longer than necessary. Whether TRAC operated or not can be checked by reading the Freeze Frame Data when the system operated.
  • Pay attention to your surroundings when performing the procedure and depress the accelerator pedal with caution.
