INSPECTION BEFORE DISASSEMBLYNO3IEBA1. CHECKING THE DIFFERENTIAL GEAR BACKLASH
(1) Secure the differential case assembly in a vise so that
the differential side gear (right) is facing upward.
Caution
When securing the vise, be sure not to hold the
differential case assembly too tightly.
(2) Insert a 0.03 mm (.0012 in.) feeler gauge at two places
(diagonally) between differential case
B and the thrust
washer (right).
CautionDo not insert a feeler gauge in the oil groove of
differential case B.

B.3. SELECTION OF THE THRUST WASHER (LEFT)
(1) If the differential side gear and pinion mate gear have
been replaced, select the thrust washer (left) by
following the steps below.
@ Wash the differential side gear and pinion mate gear
in unleaded gasoline to remove all oil, grease, etc.
@ Install the previously used thrust washers (being
careful the left and right ones are used at the
correct side), together with the gears, viscous unit,
pinion mate washer and pinion shaft, to differential
cases A and
B, and then, using screws, secure
them temporarily.
@ Secure the differential case assembly in a vise so
that the differential side gear (right) is facing
upward.Caution
When securing in the vise, be sure not to hold the
differential case assembly too tightly.
@I Insert a 0.03 mm LOO12 in.) feeler gauge at two
places (diagonally) between differential case
B and
the thrust washer (right).
CautionDo not insert a feeler gauge in the oil groove of
rsrdifferential case B.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
-- TROUBLESHOOTINGNO!JEBAE
PARTICULAR CHARACTERISTICS OF
THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEMModels equipped with the anti-lock braking system
(A.B.S.) may exhibit one or more of the following
characteristics from time to time, but none of these
is abnormal.
(1) A pulsing feeling in the brake pedal, or vibration
of the body or the steering wheel, when the
anti-lock braking system is activated by sudden
braking or by braking on a slippery road surface.Actually, this phenomenon is an indication that
the anti-lock braking system is functioning nor-
mally.(2) When the vehicle speed reaches approximately
6 km/h (4 mph) after the engine is started and
the vehicle starts off (for the first time), a
whining motor noise may be heard from the
engine compartment if the vehicle is traveling in
a quiet place, but this noise is simply the result
of a self-check being made of the anti-lock
braking system operation.
TROUBLESHOOTING METHODSProblems related to the anti-lock braking system
(A.B.S.) can be classified into two general categor-
ies: problems in the electrical system and those in
the hydraulic system.For problems in the electrical system, the
self-diagnosis function is built into the electronic control
unit (E.C.U.) causing the A.B.S. warning light to
illuminate as a warning to the driver.
Problems in the hydraulic system (poor braking,
etc.) can be located in the same way as for ordinary
brakes. There is, however, the necessity to check todetermine whether the problem is related to ordin-
ary brake components or to the components relatedto the A.B.S.
HOW TO USE THE TROUBLESHOOTING
FLOW CHART(1) Using the flow chart, check the ABS warning
light light-up sequence and check the condition
of braking operation.
(2) Following the check chart listed in the remedy
column, perform the checks. There are [Explana-tion] and [Hint] in each check chart. Refer to
them when troubleshooting.
NOTEECU: Electronic control unit
HU: Hydraulic unit
MUT: Multi-use tester

Ioes the ABS warning light illuminate as describedbelow up to the time the engine starts?
1) When the ignition key is turned to the “ON”
position, the ABS warning light illuminates for
approximately 1 second due to the ABS ECU (asa self check of the valve relays is performed),
then it blinks twice and goes out and stays out.
2) With the ignition key in the “START” position,
power to the ABS ECU is interrupted and the

ABS warning light remains lit because the valve
relay is OFF.
(3) When the ignition key is turned from the
“START” position to the “ON” position, the
ABS warning light illuminates for approximately
1 second (during this time a recheck of the valverelays is performed), then it blinks twice and
then goes out and stays out.
