Toyota Corolla (E120): Inspection procedure
Hint
: start the inspection from step 1 in case of using the hand–held tester and start from step 2 in case of not using the hand–held tester.
1 Read value of hand–held tester(skid control sensor)
- Check that there is no difference between the speed value output from
the speed sensor displayed
by the hand–held tester and the speed value displayed by the speedometer
when driving the vehicle.
Ok: there is almost no difference in the displayed speed value.
Hint
: there is tolerance of ± 10 % in the speedometer indication.


2 Inspect skid control sensor

- Disconnect the skid control sensor connector.
- measure resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of the skid
control sensor connector.
Ok: resistance: 2.2 Kw or less
- measure resistance between each of terminals 1 and 2 of
skid control sensor connector and body ground.
Ok: resistance: 1 mw or higher

Notice
: check the speed sensor signal last

3 Check harness and connector(skid control sensor – skid control ecu)
- Check for open and short circuit in harness and connector between each skid control sensor and skid control ecu


4 Inspect sensor and sensor rotor serrations
(Reference) inspection using oscilloscope
- connect the oscilloscope to the terminals rr+ – rr– and rl+ – rl– of the skid control ecu.
- drive the vehicle at about 30 km/h (19 mph), and check the signal waveform.
Hint
:
- as the vehicle speed (wheel revolution speed) increases, a cycle of the waveform becomes shorter and the fluctuation in the output voltage becomes greater.
- When noise is identified in the waveform on the oscilloscope, error signals are generated due to the speed sensor rotor’s scratches, looseness or foreign matter deposited on it.


5 Inspect sensor installation

- Check the sensor installation.
Ok: there is no clearance between the sensor and rear axle carrier.

Notice
: check the speed sensor signal last

6 Inspect skid control sensor tip

- Remove the skid control sensor .
- check the sensor tip.
Ok: no scratches or foreign objects on the sensor tip.

Notice
: check the speed sensor signal last

7 Inspect sensor rotor

- Check the sensor rotor serrations.
Ok: no scratches, missing teeth or foreign objects.

Notice
: check the speed sensor signal last

Check and replace brake actuator assy
Notice
: do not reuse skid control sensor.
Other materials:
Replacement
1. Drain brake fluid
Notice:
wash the brake fluid off immediately if it comes into contact with any painted
surface.
2. Remove air cleaner cap sub–assy
3. Remove air cleaner case sub–assy
remove the air cleaner element, then remove the 3 bolts and air
cleaner case sub–assy.

Adjusting the mirrors
Make sure that you can see backward clearly by adjusting the inside and outside
rear view mirrors properly.
CAUTION
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●Do not adjust the position of the driver’s seat while driving.
Doing so could ...
Engine coolant
The coolant level is satisfactory if it is between the “F” and “L” lines on the
reservoir when the engine is cold.
1 Reservoir cap
2 “F” line
3 “L” line
If the level is on or below the “L” line, add coolant up to the “F” line.
■Coolant selection
Only use “To ...
