ABS – Troubleshooting35B-14
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 4
When the ignition key is turned to “START”, the ABS
warning lamp does not illuminate.
Probable cause
The ABS-ECU is powered through IG2 which is turned off when the ignition key
is in START position. The ABS warning lamp is powered through IG1 which is not
turned off even when the ignition key is in START position. So the cause must be
a defective circuit on valve relay side.
Malfunction of wiring harness or connector

Malfunction of valve relay
OK
Check the trouble symptom.NGCheck the harness between the com-
bination meter and valve relay, and
repair if necessary.
OK
Check the motor for operation.NGCheck the harness between the valve
relay and ground, and repair if neces-
sary.
OK
Check the following connector:
A-76NG

INSPECTION PROCEDURE 5
Brake operation is abnormal
Probable cause
The varies depending on the driving conditions and the road surface conditions, so
problem diagnosis is difficult. However, if a normal diagnosis code is displayed, carry
out the following inspection.
Improper installation of wheel speed sensor

Incorrect sensor harness contact

Foreign material adhering to wheel speed sensor

Malfunction of wheel speed sensor

Malfunction of wheel bearing

Malfunction of hydraulic unit

Malfunction of ABS-ECU

PARKING BRAKE – Service Specifications / Lubricants / Special Tools36-2
The parking brake is designed as a drum-in-disc brake acting on the rear wheel. This brake is a little
different in construction between EVOLUTION-IV and EVOLUTION-V but much alike in the service procedure
of the parking brake section. In this group, therefore, the description is made only for EVOLUTION-IV.

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
1. PARKING BRAKE LEVER STROKE CHECK
AND ADJUSTMENT
1-1 STROKE CHECK
Standard value: 5 – 7 notches
[Operating force of approx. 196 N {20 kgf}]
1-2 STROKE ADJUSTMENT
If the parking brake lever stroke is not the standard value,
adjust as described below.
(1) Loosen the adjusting nut at the floor console to release
the cable.
(2) Remove the adjustment hole plug, and then use a flat-tip
(–) screwdriver to turn the adjuster in the direction of
the arrow (the direction which expands the shoe) until
the disc cannot be rotated by both hands.
Return the adjuster five notches in the direction opposite
to the direction of the arrow. (Reference: shoe clearance
on one side 0.19 mm)
(3) Turn the adjusting nut to adjust the parking brake lever
stroke to the standard value. After adjusting, check that
there is no space between the adjusting nut and the
parking brake lever.
Check also that the adjusting nut is firmly held by the
nut holder.
Caution
If the parking brake lever stroke is below the standard
value and the braking is too firm, the rear brakes
may drag.
(4) After adjusting the parking brake lever stroke, jack up
the rear of the vehicle. Release the parking brake and
turn the rear wheels to check that the rear brakes are
not dragging.

Caution
Carry out running-in in a place with good visibility, and
pay careful attention to safety.
(1) Adjust the parking brake stroke to the specified value.
Standard value: 5 – 7 notches
[Operating force of approx. 196 N {20 kgf}]
(2) Hook a spring balance onto the center of the parking
brake lever grip and pull it with a force of 98 – 147 N
{10 – 15 kgf} in a direction perpendicular to the handle.
(3) Drive the vehicle at a constant speed of 35 – 50 km/h
for 100 metres.
(4) Release the parking brake and let the brakes cool for
