2) Measure ABS sensor resistance.
ABS sensor Terminal No. Standard
Front - LH 1 and 2
1.0±0.2 kΩ Front - RH 1 and 2
Rear - LH 1 and 2
Rear - RH 1 and 2
CAUTION:
If resistance is outside the standard value, replace
ABS sensor with new one.
NOTE:
Check ABS sensor cable for discontinuity. If necessary,
replace with a new one.
G4M0448
2. TONE WHEEL
1) Check tone wheel’s teeth (44 pieces) for cracks or
dents. If necessary, replace tone wheel with a new one.
2) Clearances (sensor gaps) should be measured one by
one to ensure tone wheel and speed sensor are installed
correctly.
ABS sensor clearance:
Front
0.9—1.4 mm (0.035—0.055 in)
Rear
0.7—1.2 mm (0.028—0.047 in)
NOTE:

If clearance is narrow, adjust by using spacer (Part No.
26755AA000).

If clearance is wide, check the outputted voltage then
replace ABS sensor or tone wheel if the outputted voltage
is outside the specification.

3. OUTPUT VOLTAGE
Output voltage can be checked by the following method.
Install resistor and condenser, then rotate wheel about 2.75
km/h (2 MPH) or equivalent.
NOTE:
Regarding terminal No., please refer to item 1. ABS SEN-
SOR.
C: INSTALLATION
1. FRONT ABS SENSOR
1) Install tone wheel on hub, then install housing on hub
assembly.

4) Install front ABS sensor on strut and wheel apron
bracket.
Tightening torque:
32±10 N⋅m (3.3±1.0 kg-m, 24±7 ft-lb)
5) Place a thickness gauge between ABS sensor’s pole
piece and tone wheel’s tooth face. After standard clearance
is obtained over the entire perimeter, tighten ABS sensor
on housing to specified torque.
ABS sensor standard clearance:
0.9—1.4 mm (0.035—0.055 in)
Tightening torque:
32±10 N⋅m (3.3±1.0 kg-m, 24±7 ft-lb)
CAUTION:
Check the marks on the harness to make sure that no
distortion exists. (RH: white, LH: yellow)
NOTE:
If the clearance is outside specifications, readjust.
2. REAR ABS SENSOR
1) Install rear tone wheel on hub, then rear housing on
hub.
G4M0445
2) Temporarily install rear ABS sensor on back plate.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to strike ABS sensor’s pole piece and
tone wheel’s teeth against adjacent metal parts during
installation.

4) Install rear sensor harness on rear trailing link.
Tightening torque:
32±10 N⋅m (3.3±1.0 kg-m, 24±7 ft-lb)
5) Place a thickness gauge between ABS sensor’s pole
piece and tone wheel’s tooth face. After standard clearance
is obtained over the entire perimeter, tighten ABS sensor
on back plate to specified torque.
ABS sensor standard clearance:
0.7—1.2 mm (0.028—0.047 in)
Tightening torque:

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.
