K TRANSMISSION VACUUM DIAPHRAGM Preparation SST Note Excessive shift shock and improper shifting often indicate a vacuum diaphragm malfunction. 49 GO32 355 Adjustment gauge Warning When the transmission and the ATF are hot, they can cause burns to the skin. Allow the trans- mission and the ATF to cool before doing this procedure. For adjustment of vacuum diaphragm rod On-vehicle Removal 1. On level ground, jack up the vehicle and support it evenly on safety stands. 2. Remove the exhaust pipe. (Refer to page K-45.) 3. Loosen the oil pan mounting bolts, and drain approx. 1.0 L (1.1 US qt, 0.9 Imp qt) of ATF. L' 4. Disconnect the vacuum hose. 5. Remove the vacuum diaphragm, O-rings, and vacuum diaphragm rod. Inspection 1. Check that the vacuum diaphragm rod moves when vac- uum is applied to the vacuum diaphragm. 2. If not correct, replace the vacuum diaphragm. Gartner Banana

P ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Troubleshooting Guide with ABS Tester ABS tester ADAPTER PART No.0000-42-0010 HYDRAULIC UNIT CONNECTOR POSSlTlVE BATTERY 97UOPX469 Connecting ABS tester 1. Turn the ignition switch OFF. 2. Connect the SST harness to an extension harness, and wrap the connection with electrical tape to prevent short- ing. 3. Connect the SST between the hydraulic unit wiring har- ness connectors and to the positive battery terminal. 4. Roll back the carpet and remove the protecter. 5. Connect the ABS tester to the control unit connector at harness side .using the adaptor. Warning Driving the vehicle while the tester is connected to the ABS control unit is extremely dangerous. The brakes could fail, resulting in death or seri- / -1 ous injury. Disconnect the tester from the ABS control unit before driving the vehicle. Gartner Banana

ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) P Inspection of ABS system Check system ground Caution To prevent damage to the terminals, create a probe by wrapping a thin wire around the tester lead before inserting. Check for an open circuit in (B) wire from terminals 1 Dl 1 S, and 2F of the control unit connector and ground. Check antilock warning light 1. Remove the instrument cluster. 2. Connect 12V to terminal 2K (C-Ol), and ground to termi- nal 1 K ((2-01). 3. Verify that the ABS warning light illuminates. 4. If there is no illumination, check the meter fuse, bulb, and wiring harness. 5. If OK, check the wiring harness (Warning light - Control unit - Hydraulic unit) and repair or replace as necessary. Check ABS diode 1. Check the meter fuse, bulb, and wiring harness. 2. Check the wiring harness (Warning light - Control unit - Hydraulic unit). 3. Disconnect the hydraulic unit 12-pin connector. 4. Using an ohmmeter, check for continuity of the terminals. 5. If continuity is not as specified, replace the hydraulic unit. Check front and rear valves 1. Disconnect the hydraulic unit 12-pin connector. 2. Using an ohmmeter, check for resistance of the termi- nals. -- 3. If resistance is not as specified, replace the hydraulic unit. 4. If resistance is as spe'cified, check the wiring harness (Hydraulic unit - ABS control unit). E (YIG) - H (B) (Rear Valve) C (BR) - H (B) (Right Front Valve) A (B/W) - H (B) (Left Front Valve) Check brake light switch 1. Disconnect the brake light switch connector. 2. Check for continuity between the terminals of the switch. Resistance (n) Approx. 1 .O-1.2 Approx. 1.0-1.2 Approx. 1 .+I .2 M : Indicates continuity Depressed brake pedal 3. If the continuity is not as specified, check the STOP fuse and wiring harness (Brake light switch - Control unit). 0 I 0 Released brake pedal Gartner Banana
