1. Ensure vehicle is unladen condition*.* Fuel, radiator coolant and engine oil full. Spare tire, jack,hand tools and mats in designated positions.
2. Have a driver sit in the driver's seat and one person sit on the rear end. Then have the person on the rear end slowly get off
the vehicle. This is necessary to stabilize suspension de¯ec-
tion.
3. Gradually depress brake pedal and attach a lever to the stop- per bolt, then adjust length ``L'' as follows:Length ``L'': Approx. 175.2 - 178.2 mm (6.90 - 7.02 in)
4. Remove front LH tire.
5. Connect tool to air bleeders on front LH brake caliper and rear LH or RH brake wheel cylinder.
6. Install front LH tire.
Before installing front LH tire, con®rm the tool is not touching
the front LH wheel.
7. Bleed air from Tool.
8. Raise front brake pressure to 4,904 kPa (49.0 bar, 50 kg/cm
2,
711 psi) and 9,807 kPa (98.1 bar, 100 kg/cm2, 1,422 psi) and
check rear brake pressure. Rear brake pressure: Refer to table on next page.

Check warning lamp for deactivation after
driving vehicle over 30 km/h (19 MPH)
for at least one minute.
After making certain that warning lamp
does not come on, test the ABS in a safe
area to verify that it functions properly.
HOW TO READ SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS (Malfunction codes)
+Determine the code No. by counting the number of times the warning lamp ¯ashes on and off.
+ When several malfunctions occur at one time, up to three code numbers can be stored; the latest mal-
function will be indicated ®rst.
+ The indication begins with the start code 12. After that a maximum of three code numbers appear in the
order of the latest one ®rst. The indication then returns to the start code 12 to repeat (the indication will
stay on for ®ve minutes at the most).
+ The malfunction code chart is given on the next page.
HOW TO ERASE SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS
(Malfunction codes)
1. Disconnect the check terminal from ground (ABS warning lamp
will stay lit).
2. Within 12.5 seconds, ground the check terminal 3 times. Each terminal ground must last more than 1 second. The ABS warn-
ing lamp goes out after the erase operation has been com-
pleted.
3. Perform self-diagnosis again. Refer to BR-47. Only the start- code should appear, no malfunction codes.
