1996 SUBARU LEGACY check engine

7) Read values indicated on the brake tester and check if
the fluctuation of values, when decompressed and
compressed, meet the standard values.
Initial value When decompressed When compressed
Front wheel 1,961 N (200 kg, 441 lb) 245 N (25 kg, 55 lb) 1,961 N (200 kg, 441 lb)
Rear wheel 686 N (70 kg, 154 lb) 245 N (25 kg, 55 lb) 686 N (70 kg, 154 lb)

In case of hydraulic unit plunger piston malfunction:
Initial value When decompressed When compressed
Rear right wheel 686 N (70 kg, 154 lb) 245 N (25 kg, 55 lb) 686 N (70 kg, 154 lb)
Rear left wheel 686 N (70 kg, 154 lb) 686 N (70 kg, 154 lb) 686 N (70 kg, 154 lb)
8) After checking, also check if any irregular brake pedal
tightness is felt.
9) In case of AWD vehicles, remove the spare fuse from
the FWD connector in the engine compartment to return to
the original AWD state.
C: SEQUENCE CONTROL
Under the sequence control, after the hydraulic unit sole-
noid valve is driven, the operation of the hydraulic unit can
be checked by means of the brake tester or pressure
gauge.
B4M0082A
1. OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES OF THE SEQUENCE
CONTROL
1) Connect diagnosis terminals to 3 terminals (K) and 6
terminals (L) of the diagnosis connector beside driver seat
heater unit.
2) Set the speed of all wheels at 4 km/h (2 MPH) or less.
3) Within 0.5 seconds after the ABS warning lamp goes
out, immediately after the ignition switch is turned to on,
depress the brake pedal and hold.
CAUTION:
Do not depress the clutch pedal.
NOTE:

When the ignition switch is set to on, the brake pedal
must not be depressed.

Engine must not operate.

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.

5) Remove bolts which secure hydraulic unit bracket, and
remove hydraulic unit from engine compartment.
CAUTION:

Hydraulic unit cannot be disassembled. Do not
attempt to loosen bolts and nuts.

Do not drop or bump hydraulic unit.

Do not turn the hydraulic unit upside down or place
it on its side.

Be careful to prevent foreign particles from getting
into hydraulic unit.

Do not pull harness disconnecting harness connec-
tor.
B: INSPECTION
1) Check connected and fixed condition of connector.
2) Check for discontinuity or short circuits.

1) Under the ABS sequence control, after the hydraulic
unit solenoid valve is driven, the operation of the hydraulic
unit can be checked by means of the brake tester or pres-
sure gauge.
2) ABS sequence control can be started by diagnosis con-
nector or select monitor.

SEQUENCE CONTROL WITH DIAGNOSIS
CONNECTOR
1) Connect diagnosis terminals to terminal No. 4 of the
diagnosis connector beside driver’s seat heater unit.
2) Ignition switch is turned to ON.
3) Make sure only the start code (code 11) is shown in
normal condition.

and compression in sequence, and subsequently the
RL wheel repeats the cycle.
