NOTEThe wheel speed sensor cable moves following motion of the front or rear suspension. Therefore, it is likely that it has an
open circuit only when driving on rough roads and it functions normally on ordinary roads. It is, therefore, recommended
to observe sensor output voltage waveform also under special conditions, such as rough road driving,

INSPECTION OF HYDRAULIC UNITINSPECTION BY FEEL
(I) Jack up the vehicle and support the vehicle with rigid racks
placed at the specified jack-up points.
(2) Release the parking brake and determine the drag force
(drag torque) of each wheel by feel.
LJ(3) Set the MUT through the adapter harness (MB991377) as
illustrated.
(4) After confirming that the shift lever or selector lever is in
the neutral position, start the engine.
The ABS warning light lights up, it goes into the MUT mode.
In the MUT mode, ABS does not function.
(5) Operate the MUT to force the actuator to operate (item No.
04, 05, 06).
(6) Turning the wheel manually, check the change of the
braking force when the brake pedal is depressed.
The change should be as shown in the following illustration.
NOTEWhile the ABS is in the fail safe mode, the MUT actuator
test cannot be made.

REMEDY IN CASE OF DISCHARGED BATTERY
M35FOAQIf the engine is jump-started, because of a completely
discharged battery, the vehicle may suffer misfiring and fail to
start if an attempt is made to start without allowing the battery
to recover sufficiently. This is because the ABS consumes a
great deal of current for its self check. In such a case, allow the
battery to sufficiently charge or remove the ABS power relay in
the engine compartment to disable the ABS. Removing the
ABS causes the ABS warning light to light. After the battery is
charged sufficiently, install the power relay and restart the
engine to check that the ABS warning light goes out.
INSPECTION OF VALVE RELAY AND MOTOR
RELAY (ABS)M35FOAR1. Remove the splash shield
(FR) and remove the relay box
cover by inserting a screwdriver between the hydraulic unit
and cover to pry off the lock.
2.Remove the relays. The one closest to you (larger one) is
the motor relay and the one farthest from you (smaller one)
is the valve relay.

STEERING 2 Service Adjustment Procedures37A-5
13FOOOi13FOOO3SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES
STEERING WHEEL FREE PLAY CHECKM37FABI
1.With engine running (hydraulic operation), set front wheels
straight ahead.
2. Measure the play on steering wheel circumference before
wheels start to move when slightly moving steering wheel
in both directions.
Limit: 30 mm (1.2 in.)
3:When the play exceeds the limit, check for play on steering
shaft connection and steering linkage. Correct or replace.
4. If the free play still exceeds the limit value set steering
wheel straight ahead with engine stopped. Load 5 N
(1 lb.)
towards steering wheel circumference and check play.
Standard values (steering wheel play with engine
stopped): 11 mm
(.43 in.)
If the play exceeds the standard value, remove steering
gear box and check total pinion torque.
STEERING ANGLE CHECKM37FDBK1. Set front wheels on turning radius gauge and measure
steering angle.
Standard values:Inner wheel
33”45’ k 2”
Outer wheel
28”21’2. When not within the standard value, it is probably a toe
problem. Adjust toe (refer to GROUP 33A
- Service
Adjustment Procedures) and recheck.
TIE ROD END BALL JOINT VARIATION CHECK
(SHAFT DIRECTION)M37FPAF1. Hold the ball joint with pliers.
2.Set a caliper gauge as illustrated and measure the displace-
ment with the ball stud compressed.
Limit: 1.5 mm
(.059 in.)
3. If the measured displacement exceeds the limit, replace
the tie-rod end.
Caution
Even if the variation is within the limit, check ball jointstarting torque.

STATIONARY STEERING EFFORT CHECKM37FFAM
1.With the vehicle stopped on a flat, paved surface, turn the
steering wheel to the straight ahead position.
2. Start the engine and set it to 1,000
+ 100 rpm.d
Caution
After checking the engine speed, there must be a returnto the standard idling speed.
3. Attach a spring balance to the outer circumference of the
steering wheel and measure the steering force required to
turn the steering wheel from the straight ahead position to
the left and right (within a range of 1.5 turns).
Also check to be sure that there is no significant fluctuation
of the required steering force.
Standard value:
Steering effort35 N (8 Ibs.) or less
Fluctuation allowance
6 N (1.3 Ibs.) or less
STEERING WHEEL RETURN TO CENTER CHECK
M37FGACiTo make this test, conduct a road test and check as follows.
1.Make both gradual and,sudden turns and check the steering
“feeling” to be sure that there is no difference in the
steering force required and the wheel return between left
and right turns.
2. At a speed of 35 km/h (22 mph), turn the steering wheel
90”. and release the steering wheel after 1 or 2 seconds. If
the steering wheel then returns 70” or more, the return can
be judged to the satisfactory.
NOTEThere will be a momentary feeling of “heaviness” when the
wheel is turned quickly, but this is not abnormal. (This is
because the oil pump discharge amount is especially apt to
be insufficient during idling.)
V-BELT TENSION CHECKM37FHAJCheck to be sure that the belt is not damaged and that the
V-belt is correctly attached to the groove of the pulley.
NOTEIf there is abnormal noise or belt slippage, check the belt
tension and check for unusual wear or abrasion, or damage, of
the pulley contact surface, and for scars or scratches on the
pulley.d
