4) Connect oil pressure gauge hose to cylinder block.
5) Start the engine, and measure oil pressure.
Oil pressure:
98 kPa (1.0 kg/cm
2,14 psi) or more at 800 rpm
294 kPa (3.0 kg/cm2, 43 psi) or more at 5,000 rpm
CAUTION:

If oil pressure is out of specification, check oil
pump, oil filter and lubrication line.


If oil pressure warning light is turned ON and oil
pressure is in specification, replace oil pressure
switch.

NOTE:
The specified data is based on an engine oil temperature
of 80°C (176°F).
6) After measuring oil pressure, install oil pressure switch.
Tightening torque:
25±3 N⋅m (2.5±0.3 kg-m, 18.1±2.2 ft-lb)
7) Install generator and V-belt in the reverse order of

10) After completion of fitting, make sure that the selector
lever operates smoothly all across the operating range.
11) Connect the harnesses and check the following items.
(1) The engine starts operating when selector lever is
in position“P”, but not in other positions.
(2) The back-up light is lit when the selector lever is in
position“R”, but not in other positions.
B3M0348A
12) Check selector lever operation.
WARNING:
Stop the engine while checking operation of selector
lever.
(1) Check that selector lever does not move from“N”
to“R”without pushing the button.
(2) Check that selector lever does not move from“R”
to“P”without pushing the button.
(3) Check that selector lever does not move from“P”
to“R”without pushing the button and the brake pedal
depressed. [With ignition key set at“ON”.]
(4) Check that selector lever does not move from“3”to
“2”without pushing the button.
13) Check shift-lock system.
(1) Ensure ignition switch rotates from“ACC”to
“LOCK”when the selector lever is set at“P”. Also check
that ignition key can be removed from the“LOCK”posi-
tion only.
(2) Ensure selector lever moves from“P”to any other
position when the brake pedal is depressed with igni-
tion key set at“ON”or“START”.

2. Automatic Transmission

2. CHECKING THE HYDRAULIC UNIT OPERATION BY
PRESSURE GAUGE
1) Remove the FL and FR pipes from the hydraulic unit.
G4M0460
2) Connect two pressure gauges to the hydraulic unit.
CAUTION:

Pressure gauges used exclusively for brake fluid
must be used.

Do not employ pressure gauge previously used for
transmission since the piston seal is expanded which
may lead to malfunction of the brake.
3) Bleed air from the pressure gauges.
4) Perform sequence control.
B4M0082A
(1) Connect diagnosis terminals to 3 terminals (K) and
6 terminals (L) of the diagnosis connector beside driver
seat heater unit.
(2) Turn ignition switch ON.
(3) The ABS warning light comes on.
(4) Depress the brake pedal within 0.5 seconds after
the warning light goes out so that the pressure gauge
registers a pressure equal to the initial value.
CAUTION:
Do not depress the clutch pedal.
NOTE:
The engine must not be operating.

3. CHECKING THE HYDRAULIC UNIT WITH BRAKE
TESTER
1) In the case of AWD vehicles, install a spare fuse with
the FWD connector in the engine compartment to simulate
FWD vehicles.
B4M0082A
2) Connect diagnosis terminals to 3 terminals (K) and 6
terminals (L) of the diagnosis connector beside driver seat
heater unit.
G4M0464
3) Set the front wheels or rear wheels on the brake tester
and set the select lever’s position at“neutral”.
4) Operate the brake tester.
5) Perform sequence control.
(1) Turn ignition switch ON.
(2) The ABS warning light comes on.
(3) Depress the brake pedal within 0.5 seconds after
the warning light goes out so that the brake tester reg-
isters a pressure equal to the initial value.
CAUTION:
Do not depress the clutch pedal.
NOTE:
The engine must not be operating.
6) Hydraulic unit begins to work; and check the following
working sequence.
(1) The left front wheel performs decompression,
holding, and compression in sequence, and subse-
quently the right front wheel repeats the cycle.
(2) Simultaneously both right and left rear wheel per-
form decompression, holding, and compression in
sequence.

15. Hydraulic Unit for ABS System

11) Operate FRO (Front Right Outlet) valve and RLO
(Rear Left Outlet) valve to bleed air from hydraulic unit
outlet circuit.
(1) Press TCS OFF switch while depressing brake
pedal.
(2) Make sure ABS warning light illuminates.
(3) Repeatedly depress and release brake pedal 10
times or more while pressing TCS OFF switch.
NOTE:

Air comes out from reservoir tank.
12) Operate FLO (Front Left Outlet) valve and RRO (Rear
Right Outlet) valve to bleed air from hydraulic unit outlet
circuit.
(1) Press TCS OFF switch while depressing brake
pedal.
(2) Make sure TCS warning light illuminates.
(3) Repeatedly depress and release brake pedal 10
times or more while pressing TCS OFF switch.
NOTE:

Air comes out from reservoir tank.

The operations in steps 11) and 12) above can be
switched with each other by operating brake pedal (stop
light switch) while pressing TCS OFF switch.

Repeat procedures 11) and 12) until air no longer comes
out of reservoir tank.
13) Perform these steps for the brakes connecting to the
secondary chamber of master cylinder, first, and then for
the ones connecting to primary chamber. With all proce-
dures completed, fully depress the brake pedal and keep
it in that position for approximately 20 seconds to make
sure that there is no leak evident in the entire system.
14) Turn ignition switch OFF.
15) Perform TCS sequence control.

19. Air Bleeding (With TCS model)

G4M0436
16) Check the pedal stroke.
While the engine is idling, depress the brake pedal with a
490 N (50 kg, 110 lb) load and measure the distance
between the brake pedal and steering wheel. With the
brake pedal released, measure the distance between the
pedal and steering wheel again. The difference between
the two measurements must be less than specified.
Specified pedal stroke:
With TCS
95 mm (3.74 in)
When depressing brake pedal with a 490 N (50 kg,
110 lb) load.
If the distance is more than specifications, there is a
possibility that air is in the brake line. Bleed air from the
brake line.
17) Turn ignition switch OFF.
18) Disconnect select monitor or diagnosis terminal.
19) Add brake fluid to the required level (MAX. level) of
reserve tank.
20) As a final step, test run the vehicle at low speed and
apply brakes relatively hard 2 to 3 times to ensure that
brakes provide normal braking action on all four wheels
without dragging and uneven braking.
