OPERATION
1. CHECKING THE HYDRAULIC UNIT ABS
OPERATION BY PRESSURE GAUGE
1) Lift-up vehicle and remove wheels.
2) Disconnect the air bleeder screws from the FL and FR
caliper bodies.
B4M0633A
3) Connect two pressure gauges to the FL and FR caliper
bodies.
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.
NOTE:
Wrap sealing tape around the pressure gauge.

the fluctuation of values, when decompressed and
compressed, meet the standard values.

D: ABS SEQUENCE CONTROL
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.
