For simple checking of the brake booster operation,
carry
out the following tests: 1. Run the engine for one or two minutes; and then turn
the engine off. If the pedal depresses fully the first time but gra dually
becomes higher when depressed succeeding times, the
booster is operating properly. If the
height remains
unchanged, the booster is defective.
2.With the engine stopped, step on the brake pedal se veral
times.
Then step on the brake pedal and start the engine.
If the pedal moves downward slightly, the booster i s in
good condition. If there is no change, the booster is
defective.
3. With the engine running, step on the’ brake peda l and’
then stop the engine. Hold the pedal depressed for 30 seconds. If the ped al,
height does not change, the booster is in condition.
If the pedal rises, the booster is

ABS General Information
The ABS consists of wheel speed sensors, stop light switch, hydraulic unit and the ABS-ECU. If
a problem occurs in the system, the malfunctioning
system can be identified by means of the diagnostic
function.
The diagnostic trouble code will not be erased even
if the ignition switch is turned to OFF.
In addition, reading of diagnostic trouble codes,
service testing are possible using
