8J1CHECK IF THE WHEELS HAVE TURNED
FREELY FOR A LONG TIME.
: Check if the wheels have been turned freely
for more than one minute, such as when the
vehicle is jacked-up, under full-lock corner-
ing or when tire is not in contact with road
surface.
: The ABS is normal. Erase the trouble code.
NOTE:
When the wheels turn freely for a long time, such as when
the vehicle is towed or jacked-up, or when steering wheel
is continuously turned all the way, this trouble code may
sometimes occur.
: Go to step8J2.
8J2
CHECK TIRE SPECIFICATIONS.

CHECK ABS SENSOR GAP.
Measure tone wheel to pole piece gap over entire perim-
eter of the wheel.
: Is the gap within the specifications shown
in the following table?
SpecificationsFront wheel Rear wheel
0.9—1.4 mm
(0.035—0.055 in)0.7—1.2 mm
(0.028—0.047 in)
G4M0701
: Go to step8J8.
: Adjust the gap.
NOTE:
Adjust the gap using spacer (Part No. 26755AA000). If
spacers cannot correct the gap, replace worn sensor or
worn tone wheel.
8J8
CHECK OSCILLOSCOPE.
: Is an oscilloscope available?
: Go to step8J9.
: Go to step8J10.
8J9
CHECK ABS SENSOR SIGNAL.
1) Raise all four wheels of ground.
2) Turn ignition switch OFF.
3) Connect the oscilloscope to the connector (F1) or con-
nector (B100).
4) Turn ignition switch ON.

5) Rotate wheels and measure voltage at specified fre-
quency.
NOTE:
When this inspection is completed, the ABS control mod-
ule sometimes stores the trouble code 29.
