REMOVAL
1) Raise and suitably support vehicle. Remove tire and wheel.
This operation is not necessary when removing pipes connecting master cylinder and flexible hose.
2) Clean dirt and foreign material from both hose end or pipe end fittings. Remove brake hose or pipe.
INSTALLATION
1) Reverse removal procedure for brake hose and pipe installation procedure.
For installation, make sure that steering wheel is in straightforward position and hose has no twist or kink. Check
to make sure that hose doesn't contact any part of suspension, both in extreme right and extreme left turn condi-
tions. If it does at any point, remove and correct. Fill and maintain brake fluid level in reservoir. Bleed brake sys-
tem.
2) Perform brake test and check installed part for fluid leakage.

REMOVAL
1) Hoist vehicle and remove wheel.
2) Remove caliper pin bolts.
3) Remove E-ring from strut and then remove caliper from caliper
carrier.
NOTE:
Hang removed caliper with a wire hook or the like so as to
prevent brake hose from bending and twisting excessively

5E1-2 ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) (OPTIONAL)
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ABS (Antilock Brake System) controls the fluid pressure applied to the wheel cylinder of each brake from the
master cylinder so that each wheel is not locked even when hard braking is applied. This ABS is a 4-wheel type
which controls the fluid pressure applied to the wheel cylinder of each of the four brakes to prevent each wheel
from getting locked.
The component parts of this ABS includes following parts in addition to those of the conventional brake system.

Wheel speed sensor which senses revolution speed of each wheel and outputs its signal.

In this ABS, ABS hydraulic unit (actuator assembly), ABS control module, pump motor relay and fail-safe relay
are combined as one component.

ABS control module which sends operation signal to ABS hydraulic unit to control fluid pressure applied to each
wheel cylinder based on signal from each wheel speed sensor so as to prevent wheel from locking.

ABS hydraulic unit which operates according to signal from ABS control module to control fluid pressure applied
to wheel cylinder of each of 4 wheels.

Fail-safe (solenoid valve) relay which supplies power to solenoid valve in ABS hydraulic unit and pump motor
relay.

Pump motor relay which supplies power to pump motor in ABS hydraulic unit.

ªABSº warning lamp which lights to inform abnormality when system fails to operate properly.

G sensor which detects body deceleration speed. (For 4WD model only)
This ABS is equipped with Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD) system that controls a fluid pressure of rear
wheels to best condition, which is the same function as that of proportioning valve, by the signal from wheel sensor
independently of change of load due to load capacity and so on. And if the EBD system fails to operate properly,
the brake warning lamp lights to inform abnormality.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This automatic transmission is a full automatic type with 3-speed plus overdrive (O / D).
The torque converter is a 3-element, 1-step and 2-phase type and is equipped with an electronically controlled
lock-up mechanism. The gear shift device consists of 3 sets of planetary gear units, 3 disc type clutches, 4 disc
type brakes and 3 one-way clutches. The gear shift is done by selecting one of 6 positions (ªPº, ªRº, ªNº, ªDº, ª2º
and ªLº) by means of the select lever installed on the floor. On the shift knob, there is an overdrive (O / D) cut switch
which allows shift-up to the overdrive mode (except at 4L) and shift-down from the overdrive mode. Also, by using
the P / N change switch located on the console box, it is possible to select the gear change timing of 2 modes, nor-
mal and power.
