  4. Send the command while attempting to rotate the wheel being inspected.
  5. When pressure is being maintained, and a click sound indicating the solenoid is operating comes from the DSC HU/CM, confirm that the wheel does not rotate.
    • Performing the inspections above determines the following.
      • The DSC HU/CM brake lines are normal
      • The DSC HU/CM hydraulic system is not significantly abnormal
      • The DSC HU/CM wiring is normal
