IN THE EVENT OF A DISCHARGED BATTERY


warning If the ABS is not operating, the vehicle posture will be unstable during braking. Do not drive the vehicle with the ASTC-ECU connector disconnected or with the ABS 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 ABS consumes a large amount of current when carrying out its initial checks. If this happens, recharge the battery fully.

INITIALISING THE ASTC-ECU (ACTION TO BE TAKEN WHEN THE BATTERY IS REMOVED)
When the battery is removed, the neutral point of the steering wheel sensor will be erased, the Active stability control system OFF indicator light will illuminates and diagnosis code No.83 will be set. In this case, make the steering wheel sensor learn the neutral point by following one of the procedures below.

  1. Connect M.U.T.-III to the diagnosis connector.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
  3. Turn the steering wheel 8°or more, and then return it to the neutral (straight forward) position.
  4. Execute item No.14 "ST SNSR: 0 " on the Actuator test.
  5. Ensure that the Active skid control system OFF indicator light is off.
  6. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
  7. Disconnect M.U.T.-III.
