ON−VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. INSTALL LSPV GAUGE (SST) AND BLEED AIR
SST 09709−29018
2. RAISE MASTER CYLINDER PRESSURE AND CHECK REAR WHEEL CYLINDER PRESSURE
Master cylinder pressureRear wheel cylinder pressure
2,452 kPa (25 kgf/cm2, 356 psi)2,452 kPa (25 kgf/cm2, 356 psi)
7,845 kPa (80 kgf/cm2, 1,138 psi)3,800 kPa (38.75 kgf/cm2, 551 psi)
When inspecting the fluid pressure, inspect the left front and right rear together, and the right front and left
rear together.
If the rear wheel cylinder pressure is incorrect, replace the P valve assembly.
3. BLEED BRAKE SYSTEM (See page BR−4)
4. CHECK FOR LEAKS

ON−VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. INSPECT BATTERY POSITIVE VOLTAGE
Battery positive voltage: 10 −14 V
2. DISCONNECT CONNECTORS
(a) Disconnect the 2 connectors from the control relay.
(b) Disconnect the connector from, the actuator.
3. CONNECT ACTUATOR CHECKER (SST) TO ACTUA-
TOR
(a) Connect the actuator checker (SST) to the actuator, con-
trol relay and body side wire harness through the sub−
wire harness C and I (SST) as shown.
SST 09990−00150, 09990−00200, 09990−00300
(b) Connect the red cable of the checker to the battery posi-
tive (+) terminal and black cable to the negative (−) termi-
nal. Connect the black cable of the sub−wire harness to
the battery negative (−) terminal or body ground.

(c) Place the ”SHEET A” (SST) on the actuator checker.
SST 09990−00163
4. INSPECT BRAKE ACTUATOR OPERATION OF
FRONT RH WHEEL
(a) Start the engine, and run it at idle.
(b) Turn the selector switch of the actuator checker to
”FRONT RH” position.
(c) Push and hold in the MOTOR switch for a few seconds.
Make sure that you can hear the motor running.
(d) Depress the brake pedal and hold it for about 15 seconds,
and check that the brake pedal does not go down.
(e) With your foot still applying onto the brake pedal, push
MOTOR switch and check that the pedal does not pul-
sate.
(f) Depress the brake pedal and hold it. As you hold the ped-
al down, push and hold in the POWER SWITCH for a few
seconds. Check that the pedal does not go down.
NOTICE:
Do not keep the POWER SWITCH pushed for more than 10
seconds.
(g) With your foot still applying onto the brake pedal, release
the POWER SWITCH and check that the pedal goes
down.
(h) With your foot still applying onto the brake pedal, push the
MOTOR switch and check that the brake pedal returns.
(i) Release the brake pedal.
5. INSPECT FRONT LH WHEEL
(a) Turn the selector switch to ”REAR RH” position.
(b) Repeating (c) to (i) in the step 4, check the actuator oper-
ating similarly.
6. INSPECT REAR RH WHEEL
(a) Turn the selector switch to ”FRONT LH” position.
(b) Repeating (c) to (i) in the step 4, check the actuator opera-
tion similarly.

7. INSPECT REAR LH WHEEL
Repeating (c) to (i) in the step 4, check the actuator operation
similarly.
HINT:
When inspecting the ”REAR LH” position, push the REAR LH
switch instead of the POWER SWITCH. This makes it possible
to inspect wherever the selector switch position indicates.
8. PUSH MOTOR SWITCH
(a) Push and hold in the MOTOR switch for a few seconds.
(b) Stop the engine.
9. DISCONNECT ACTUATOR CHECKER (SST) FROM
ACTUATOR
Remove the ”SHEET A” (SST) and disconnect the actuator
checker (SST) and sub−wire harness (SST) from the actuator,
control relay and body side wire harness.
SST 09990−00150, 09990−00163, 09990−00200,
09990−00300
10. CONNECT CONNECTORS
(a) Connect the connector to the actuator.
(b) Connect the 2 connectors to the control relay.
11. CLEAR DTC (See page DI−234)
