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.

3. CONDITIONS FOR COMPLETION OF AIR
BLEEDING CONTROL
When any of the following conditions occurs, ABS and TCS
warning lights illuminate. Air bleeding control stops, while
the ABS and TCS function will then stop. The brake sys-
tem functions as a conventional brake system.
1) When the speed of at least one wheel reaches 10 km/h
(6 MPH).
2) When terminal No. 4 is separated from diagnosis termi-
nal. (When select monitor is not used.)
3) When pump motor remains ON for two minutes.
4) When TCS valve remains open for two minutes.
5) When outlet valve remains closed for two minutes.
6) When malfunction is detected.
NOTE:
When a malfunction is detected the air bleeding operation
stops and the trouble codes are stored in memory.

C: AIR BLEEDING CONTROL WITH
DIAGNOSIS CONNECTOR
1) Connect diagnosis terminals to terminal No. 4 of the
diagnosis connector beside driver’s seat heater unit.
B4M0621A
2) Start the engine while pushing TCS OFF switch.
NOTE:
Keep the TCS OFF switch depressed even after the engine
has started.
3) After ABS and TCS warning lights go out, depress
brake pedal within 0.5 seconds.
4) After ensuring TCS ON indicator illuminates, release
TCS OFF switch and brake pedal.
5) Air bleeding control operation starts.

2. Hill Holder
Trouble and possible cause Corrective action
1. Counterforce of clutch pedal is too strong.
(1) PHV cable is damaged or does not operate properly. Repair or replace.
(2) Lever of PHV is defective. Replace entire PHV assembly.
(3) Clutch system is anomalous. Refer to“Clutch and pedal cable system”.
2. Vehicle does not stop on uphill road of 3°or higher inclination.
(1) Front side of vehicle is lowered. Refer to“Suspension”.
(2) PHV cable is broken. Replace.
(3) Play of clutch is excessive. Adjust.
(4) PHV cable is elongated. Adjust.
(5) Sealing of PHV is poor. Replace entire PHV assembly.
3. Shock is felt when starting.
(1) Poor adjustment of starting performance: Adjust.
(2) When depressing the brake pedal strongly:(The stronger brake pedal depressing force, the later hill holder
releases.)
(3) When starting on flat road after stopping reverse movement: (Because hill holder is activated.)
4. Vehicle slips down when starting.
(1) PHV cable is elongated. Adjust.
(2) Clutch facing is worn out. Adjust or replace.
(3) Bracket (cable) or stay (PHV) is deformed. Repair or replace.
5. Vehicle cannot start after stoppage.
(1) Return spring is fatigued or broken. Replace.
(2) PHV lever won’t return. Replace entire PHV assembly.
(3) When intentionally depressing brake pedal strongly:[When the brake pedal is depressed by a force of 1,177 N (120
kg, 265 lb) or more.]
6. Abnormal sound is generated upon releasing brake pedal when stopping.
(1) Rotor and pad matched with each other due to inadequate
depressing force to brake pedal.(Abnormal sound is not generated when depressing brake pedal a
little stronger.)
7. Abnormal sound is generated when operating clutch pedal.
(1) Grease is inadequate for the hook of return spring and slid-
ing portion of PHV cable end.Apply grease.
(2) When releasing after maintaining high fluid pressure: (Flowing sound of fluid when releasing high fluid pressure.)
(3) Clutch system is anomalous. Refer to“Clutch and pedal cable system”.
CAUTION:
Description in parentheses is a characteristic of hill holder and does not indicate abnormality.
Depressing force required for clutch pedal equipped to hill holder specifications is 20 to 29 N (2 to 3 kg, 4 to 7 lb) larger than
the conventional specifications, which does not constitute abnormality.
When vehicle cannot travel (brake cannot be released) because return spring is broken, remove adjusting nut, disconnect
clutch and PHV, and then return PHV lever to release the brake. (Be sure to apply the parking brake before starting this opera-
tion.)
The hill holder may not be activated on a slope of an extremely small inclination.

7) Use engine grounding terminal or engine proper as the
grounding point to the body when measuring voltage and
resistance in the engine compartment.
8) Every MFI-related part is a precision part. Do not drop
them.
9) Observe the following cautions when installing a radio
in MFI equipped models.
CAUTION:
The antenna must be kept as far apart as possible
from the control unit.
(The ECM is located under the steering column, inside
of the instrument panel lower trim panel.)
The antenna feeder must be placed as far apart as
possible from the ECM and MFI harness.
Carefully adjust the antenna for correct matching.
When mounting a large power type radio, pay spe-
cial attention to the three items above mentioned.
Incorrect installation of the radio may affect the
operation of the ECM.
10) Before disconnecting the fuel hose, disconnect the
fuel pump connector and crank the engine for more than
five seconds to release pressure in the fuel system. If
engine starts during this operation, run it until it stops.
11) Problems in the electronic-controlled automatic trans-
mission may be caused by failure of the engine, the elec-
tronic control system, the transmission proper, or by a com-
bination of these. These three causes must be distin-
guished clearly when performing diagnostics.
12) Diagnostics should be conducted by rotating with
simple, easy operations and proceeding to complicated,
difficult operations. The most important thing in diagnostics
is to understand the customer’s complaint, and distinguish
between the three causes.
13) In AT vehicles, do not continue the stall for more than
five seconds at a time (from closed throttle, fully open
throttle to stall engine speed).
14) On ABS or ABS/TCS vehicle, when performing driving
test in jacked-up or lifted-up position, sometimes the warn-
ing light may be lit, but this is not a malfunction of the sys-
tem. The reason for this is the speed difference between
the front and rear wheels. After diagnosis of engine control
system, perform the ABS or ABS/TCS memory clearance
procedure of self-diagnosis system.
