7. SPEED SENSOR OUTPUT VOLTAGE
MEASUREMENT ABS>
(1) Lift up the vehicle and release the parking brake.
(2) Disconnect the AYC-ECU harness connector and take
measurements on the harness side connector.
Caution
Insert the probe from the harness side with the double
lock of the connector unlocked. Inserting it to the
terminal side could result in poor contact.
(3) Turn the wheel to be tested at about 1/2 to one
revolution/sec. and check for the output voltage using
a circuit tester (AC mV range) or oscilloscope.

Output voltage:
When circuit tester is used: 70 mV or more
When oscilloscope is used: 200 mVp-p or more
(4) If the output voltage is lower than the above value, it
is probably attributable to the following faults. Check or
replace the speed sensor as necessary.
Excessive clearance between the pole piece and rotor
of the speed sensor
Defective speed sensor
Waveform Check Using Oscilloscope
Check the harness and connector of the speed sensor for
connection. Then, use an oscilloscope to check for output
voltage waveform of each speed sensor as follows.
Start the engine and monitor the sensor by turning the wheel;
for a driving wheel, let it turn by shifting into the 1st gear
and for a driven wheel turn it manually at a constant speed.
NOTE
(1) Waveform may be observed by actually running the
vehicle.
(2) The output voltage is low when the wheel speed remains
low and builds up as the wheel speed increases.

Missing or collapsed rotor toothReplace rotor.
Caution
Since the speed sensor cable follows the movement of the front or rear suspension, it may be
open-circuited only when the vehicle is run on rough roads and not on ordinary road. The speed
sensor output voltage waveform should therefore be checked also by rocking the sensor harness
so that driving on rough roads may be simulated.
8. ACTION WHEN BATTERY RUNS OUT
When the engine is started using a booster cable where the
battery has completely run down and you attempt to start
the vehicle without waiting for the battery to recover a certain
charge, the engine can misfire and you just cannot start to
move it. In such cases, charge the battery sufficiently; or,
remove the AYC fusible link from the engine compartment
relay box to make AYC inactive before attempting to start
the vehicle. When the fusible link is removed, the AYC warning
lamp lights up. After the battery has been recharged, fit the
fusible link back again and start the engine to ensure that
the AYC warning lamp is off.AYC fusible link

INSTALLATION SERVICE POINT
ADRIVE SHAFT NUT INSTALLATION
(1) Install the washer on the drive shaft in the direction shown
on the left.
(2) Using the special tool, tighten the drive shaft nut to the
specified torque.
Caution
Before torquing the drive shaft nut to specification,
do not apply vehicle weight to the wheel bearing.
(3) If, at this time, the split pin holes are not aligned, tighten
the nut further (within 255 Nm {26.0 kgf
m}), insert the
split pin in the first matching holes, and bend it securely.
INSPECTION
1. REAR WHEEL BEARING ROTATION STARTING
TORQUE
(1) Install the special tool to the rear hub assembly and tighten
it to the specified torque.
(2) Using the special tool, measure the wheel bearing rotation
starting torque.
Limit: 1.0 Nm {10.5 kgf
cm}
(3) The wheel bearing starting torque should be within the
limit and the hub should be free of binding or rough motion
when turned.
2. WHEEL BEARING AXIAL PLAY CHECK
(1) Check the wheel bearing for axial play.
Limit: 0.05 mm
(2) If the specified torquing range (196 to 255 Nm {20.0
to 26.0 kgf
m}) does not bring the wheel bearing axial
play into the limit, replace the rear hub assembly.
