5C-2 PARKING AND REAR BRAKE
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
DRUM BRAKE ASSEMBLY
The drum brake assembly has a self shoe clearance adjusting system so that drum-to-shoe clearance is main-
tained appropriate at all times. Rear brake is a drum type. It uses leading trailing operation when brake pedal is
depressed and when parking brake is applied on level road.
It also uses duo servo operation when parking brake is applied on gradient road and load is applied in longitudinal
direction of vehicle.
NOTE:
Replace all components included in repair kits to service this drum brake. Lubricate parts as specified.
WARNING:
If any hydraulic component is removed or brake line disconnected, bleed the brake system. The torque
values specified are for dry, unlubricated fasteners.

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.

FLUID LEVEL
LEVEL CHECK AT NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE
1) Stop vehicle and place it level.
2) Apply parking brake and place chocks against wheels.
3) With selector at P position, start engine.
4) Warm up engine till fluid temperature reaches normal operating
temperature (70 ± 80C / 158 ± 176F). As a guide to check fluid
temperature, warm up engine till engine coolant temperature
meter indicated around 1 unit above ªCº point.
5) Keep engine idling and shift selector slowly to L and back to P
position.
6) With engine idling, pull out dipstick, wipe it off with a clean cloth
and put it back into place.
7) Pull out dipstick again and check fluid level indicated on it. Fluid
level should be between FULL HOT and LOW HOT. If it is below
LOW HOT, add an equivalent of DEXRON-III up to FULL HOT.
Fluid specification
An equivalent of DEXRON-III
NOTE:

DO NOT RACE ENGINE while checking fluid level, even af-
ter the engine start.

DO NOT OVERFILL. Overfilling can causes foaming and
loss of fluid through breather. Then slippage and trans-
mission failure can result.

Bringing the level from LOW HOT to FULL HOT requires
0.3 liters (0.64/0.53 US/lmp.pt).

If vehicle was driven under high load such as pulling a
trailer, fluid level should be checked about half an hour af-
ter it is stopped.

10B-6 AIR BAG SYSTEM
DIAGNOSIS
WARNING:
To avoid deployment when troubleshooting the air bag system, do not use electrical test equipment
such as a battery powered or AC powered voltmeter, ohmmeter, etc., or any type of electrical equipment
other than that specified in this manual. Do not use a non-powered probe type tester.
Instructions in this manual must be followed carefully, otherwise personal injury may result.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
The ªAir Bag Diagnostic System Checkº must always be the starting point of any air bag system diagnosis. The
ªAir Bag Diagnostic System Checkº checks for proper ªAIR BAGº warning lamp operation and checks for air bag
diagnostic trouble codes using the Tech-1 (scan tool) or on-board diagnosis function.

Current diagnostic trouble code ± Malfunction that are presently being detected.

History diagnostic trouble code ± All malfunction detected since the last time the history memory was cleared.
USE OF SPECIAL TOOLS
WARNING:
To avoid deployment when troubleshooting the air bag system, do not use electrical test equipment
such as a battery powered or AC powered voltmeter, ohmmeter, etc., or any type of electrical equipment
other than that specified in this manual. Do not use a non-powered probe type tester.
Instructions in this manual must be followed carefully, otherwise personal injury may result.
You should be familiar with the tools listed under ªSpecial Toolsº in this section. You should be able to measure
voltage and resistance. You should be familiar with proper use of a scan tool such as the Tech-1 Diagnostic Com-
puter, Driver/Passenger Load Tool, Connector Test Adapter Kit and the Digital Multimeter.
Special Tool (Connector Test Adapter Kit)
(A): 09932-76010
This must be used whenever a diagnostic procedure requests
checking or probing a terminal.
Using the appropriate adapter in the special tool will ensure that no
damage to the terminal will occur from the multimeter probe, such
as spreading or bending.
The adapter will also give an idea of whether contact tension is suffi-
cient, helping to find an open or intermittent open due to poor termi-
nal contact.
