NOTE:

To protect the DSC HU/CM, the solenoid valve used for simulations and the ABS motor stay on for 10 s each time they are switched on.

Send the command while attempting to rotate the wheel being inspected.
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
  - Output system harness in DSC HU/CM (solenoid, relay) are normal
- However, the following items cannot be checked.
  - The DSC HU/CM input system harness and parts
  - Extremely small leaks in the DSC HU/CM internal hydraulic system
  - Unusual intermittent occurrences in the above items

• Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
• The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
• You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
• You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
