REAR AXLE – On-vehicle Service 27-37
WHEEL SPEED SENSOR OUTPUT VOLTAGE
MEASUREMENT
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 wheel speed sensor as necessary.

Excessive clearance between the pole piece and rotor
of the wheel speed sensor

Defective wheel speed sensor
Waveform Check Using Oscilloscope
Check the harness and connector of the wheel speed sensor
for connection. Then, use an oscilloscope to check for output
voltage waveform of each 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.

Caution
Since the wheel 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 wheel speed sensor output voltage waveform should therefore be checked also by rocking
the sensor harness so that driving on rough roads may be simulated.
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

BASIC BRAKE SYSTEM – General / On-vehicle Service35A-2
GENERAL
OUTLINE OF CHANGE

The service procedures for left-hand drive vehicles have been established as described below.

The service procedures for the front and rear disc brakes have been changed since they had been
replaced by a different type.
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
BRAKE PEDAL CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT

1. Turn up the carpet, etc under the brake pedal.
2. Measure the brake pedal height as illustrated. If the brake
pedal height is not within the standard value, follow the
procedure below.
Standard value: 163.5 –166.5 mm
(1) Disconnect the stop lamp switch connector.
(2) Adjust the brake pedal height by turning the operating
rod with pliers (with the operating rod lock nut
loosened), until the correct brake pedal height is
obtained.
(3) Secure by tightening the lock nut of the operating
rod.
(4) Push the stop lamp switch in the direction of the
pedal stroke until it stops. (The switch will slide if
it is pushed firmly.)
(5) Lift up the pedal until the operating rod is fully
extended, and then slide the stop lamp switch back
to the required position. Adjust the position of the
switch by turning it until the distance shown in the
illustration is correct.
(6) Connect the connector of the stop lamp switch.
(7) Check that the stop lamp is not illuminated with the
brake pedal unpressed.
3. With the engine stopped, depress the brake pedal two
or three times. After eliminating the vacuum in the power
brake booster, press the pedal down by hand, and confirm
that the amount of movement before resistance is met
(the free play) is within the standard value range.

BASIC BRAKE SYSTEM – On-vehicle Service35A-3
If the free play exceeds the standard value, it is probably
due to excessive play between the retaining ring bolt
and brake pedal arm.
Check for excessive clearance and replace faulty parts
as required.
4. Start the engine, depress the brake pedal with
approximately 490 N of force, and measure the clearance
between the brake pedal and the floorboard.
Standard value: 80 mm or more
If the clearance is outside the standard value, check for
air trapped in the brake line, clearance between the lining
and the drum and dragging in the parking brake.
Adjust and replace defective parts as required.
5. Turn back the carpet, etc.

SRS – Troubleshooting52B-14
SRS WARNING LAMP INSPECTION
1. Check to be sure that the SRS warning lamp illuminates
when the ignition switch is in the ON position.
2. Check to be sure that it illuminates for approximately
7 seconds and then switches off.
3. If the above is not the cause, inspect the diagnosis codes.
INSPECTION CHART FOR TROUBLE SYMPTOMS
