1. CHECK ABS SENSOR MECHANICAL TROUBLE.
1) Dismount brake as outlined in manual to gain access to
ABS sensor and tone wheel for inspection.
2) Check pole piece and tone wheel for accumulation of
foreign particles. If necessary, remove foreign particles and
clean.
3) Check tone wheel teeth for cracks for deformities. If
necessary, replace tone wheel (No. of teeth: 44) with a new
one.
4) Check tone wheel for looseness.
Tightening torque:
10—16 N⋅m(1—1.6 kg-m, 7—12 ft-lb)
5) Measure tone wheel-to-pole piece gap over entire
perimeter of the wheel.
SpecificationsFront wheel Rear wheel
0.9—1.4 mm
(0.035—0.055 in)0.7—1.2 mm
(0.028—0.047 in)
If measurements check out“Not OK”, adjust the gap using
spacers (Part No. 26755AA000). If spacers cannot correct
the gap, replace worn sensor or worn tone wheel.
6) Check hub runout.
Specifications 0.05 mm (0.0020 in)
7) The following checks can be made if an oscilloscope is
available.
(1) Raise all four wheels of ground.
(2) Turn ignition switch OFF.
(3) Connect all connectors to ABS control module.
(4) Connect the oscilloscope to the ABS control mod-
ule connector in accordance with trouble code.
(5) Turn ignition switch ON.
