1998 HONDA CR-V Abs brake

Master Cylinder/Brake Booster
Removal/lnstallation
1, Disconnect the brake fluid level switch connectors.
2. Remove the reservoir cap from the master cylinder.
3. Remove the brake fluid from the master cvlinder
reservoir with a syringe.
4. Disconnect the brake lines from the master cylinder.
To prevent spills, cover the line joints with rags or
shop towels.
5. Remove the master cylinder mounting nuts and
wasners.
6. Remove the master cylinder from the brake booster.
CAUTION: Be careful not to bend or damage the
brake lines when removing the master cylinder.
Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle; it may dam.
age the paint; it brake fluid does cont.ct the paint,
wash it oft immediately with water.
7. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the brake booster.
8. Remove the cotter pin and clevis pin from the clevis.
Do not disconnect the clevis by removing it from
the operating rod of the brake booster. lf the clevis
is loosened, adjust the pushrod length before
installing the brake booster (see page 19-15).

11. Remove the brake booster from the enqine com-
panment.
12. Install the brake booster and master cylinder in the
reverse order of removal, and note these items:
. When connecting the brake lines, make sure that
there is no interference between the brake lines
and other parts.
. Be careful not to bend or damage the brake lines
when installing the master cylinder.
. lf replacing the master cylinder or brake booster,
check and adjust the pushrod clearance before
installing the master cylinder (see page 19-14).
Fill the master cylinder reservoir, and bleed the
brake system (see page 19-7).
After installation, check the brake pedal height and
brake pedal free play (see page 19-5), and adjust if
necessary.

Brake Hoses/Lines
Inspection/Torque Specif ications
1. Inspect the brake hoses for damage, deterioration, leaks, interference, and twisting
2. Check the brake Iines for damage, rusting, and leakage. Also check for bent brake lines.
3. Check for leaks at hose and line joints and connections, and retighten if necessary.
4. Checkthe master cylinder, proportioning control valve. and ABS modulator unit for damage and leakage.
NOTE: Replace the brake hose clip whenever the brake hose is serviced.

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
Features/Construction
When the brake pedal is pressed during driving, the wheels can lock before the vehicle comes to a stop. In such an event,
the maneuverability of the vehicle is reduced if the front wheels are locked, and the stability of the vehicle is reduced if the
rear wheels are locked, creating an extremely unstable condition. The ABS precisely controls the slip rate of the wheels to
ensure maximum grip force from the tires, and it thereby ensures maneuverbility and stability of the vehicle.
The ABS calculates the slip rate of the wheels based on the vehicle speed and the wheel speed, then it controls the brake
fluid pressure to attain the target slip rate.

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
Features/Gonstruction (cont'd)
ABS Modulator
The ABS modulator consists of the inlet solenoid valve, outlet solenoid valve, reservoir, pump, pump motor and thedampjng chamber.
The modulator reduces the caliper fluid pressure directly. lt is a circulating-type modulator because the brake fluid circulatesthrough the caliper, reservoir and the master cylinder.The hydraulic control has three modes: pressure reduction, pressure retaining and pressure intensifying modes.The hydraulic circuit is the independent four channel-type, one channel for each wheel.
SOLENOID VALVE
t-
Pressure intensifying mode: Inlet valve open, outlet valve closed,
Pressure retaining mode:
Pressure reduction mode:
Motor operation mode:
Master cylinder fluid is pumped out to the caliper.Inlet valve closed, outlet valve closed.
Caliper fluid is retained by the inlet valve and outlet valve.Inlet valve closed, outlet valve ooen
Caliper fluid flows through the outlet valve to the reservoir.When starting the pressure reduction mode. the pump motor is ON.When stopping ABS operation, the pump motor is OFF.The reservoir fluid is pumped out by the pump, through the damping chamber, to the mastercylinder.

Kickback'1. The motor operates when the ABS is functioning. and the fluid in the reservoir is forced out to the master cylinder,
causing kickback at the brake pedal.
2. The ABS control unit operates the solenoid valve when the brake pedal is released after the initial diagnosis You may
hear the solenoid valve operate at this time, but it is normal
Pumo Motol
1. The pump motor operates when the ABS is functioning
2. The ABS control unit checks the pump motor operation during acceleration. You may hear the motor operate at this
time, but it is normal.
Brake Fluid Replacement/Ail Bleeding
L Brake fluid replacement and air bleeding procedures are the same as for vehicles without ABS To ease bleeding, start
with the front wheels.
Troubleshooting
1. The troubleshooting flowchart procedures assume that the cause of the problem is still present and the ABS indicator
is still on. Following the flowchart when the ABS indicator does not come on can result in incorrect diagnosis.
2. Ouestion the customer about the conditions when the problem occurred, and try to reproduce the same conditions
for troubleshooting.
Self-diagnosis is made at various times such as the initial diagnosis, except ABS control, during ABS control, during
acceleration, during the specified vehicle speed, etc. Therefore, the symptom canngt be checked unless the check
conditions match with the problem conditjons
3. When the ABS jndicator does not come on during the test-drive. but troubleshooting is performed based on the DTC,
check lor loose connectors, poor contact of the terminals, etc., before you start troubleshooting.
4. After troubleshooting, erase the DTC and test-drive the vehicle. Be sure the ABS indicator does not come on.
5. The connector illustratjons show the female terminals with a single outline and the male terminals with a double out-
l ne.
ABS Function Test
To simulate ABS operation and activate the solenoid valves and pump, use the Honda PGM Tester.
Connect the PGM Tester to the 16P Data Link Connector (DLC). When the System Select menu is displayed, select the ABS
Test Mode menu, and follow the tester's prompts.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
Diagnostic Trouble Gode IDTCI Indication
NOTE: This operation can also be done with the Honda pGM Tester.
1. Connect the SCS service connector to the service check connector (2P) located on the passenger's side of the centerconsote.
2. Turn the ignition switch ON (ll).
NOTE; Do not press the brake pedal whenturningthe ignition switch.
3 Record the blinking frequency of the ABS indicator. The brinking frequency indicates the DTc.
4. Turn the ignition switch OFF. and remove the SCS service connector.NOTE: The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MlL) will stay on after the engine is startsd if the SCS seryica connecror rsconnected.
5. Erase the DTC.
Conditions for DTC indication. The vehicle is stopped.. The SCS service connector is connected before the ignition switch is turned ON flt).. The brake pedal is released.. The SCS service connector remains connected during this procedure.
The DTC indication stops and the ABS control unit axecutos tha softwaro lunction if at least one of tho following condi-tions i3 satisfiod:
. The vehicle is not stoooed.. The ABS control unit receives the normal signal (which is for the ABS control unit) from a Honda pGM Tesrer.. The SCS service connector is disconnectod during this procedure.
