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) Look at the beam angle gauge (vertical movement).
The bubble on the gauge should not deviate from the cen-
ter of the gauge.

3) Look at the beam angle gauge (horizontal movement).
The indicator should not deviate from the center of the
gauge by more than two segments on either side of the
gauge.
B: REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
1. HEADLIGHT BULB
1) Disconnect the connector from inside of the engine
compartment.
2) Remove rubber cap.
3) Remove the light bulb retaining spring to remove the
bulb.
4) Replace the bulb with a new one and hook the spring.
5) Attach the rubber cap and connect the connector.

CAUTION:

Since the tungsten halogen bulb operates at high
temperature, dirt and oil on the bulb surface decreases
the bulb’s useful life. When replacing the bulb, hold the
flange portion and do not touch the glass portion.
