Pad ReplacementNBBR0032WARNING:
Clean brakes with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the
hazard of airborne particles or other materials.
CAUTION:
IWhen cylinder body is open, do not depress brake pedal,
or piston will pop out.
IBe careful not to damage piston boot or get oil on rotor.
Always replace shims when replacing pads.
IIf shims are rusted or show peeling of the rubber coat,
replace them with new shims.
IIt is not necessary to remove connecting bolt except for
disassembly or replacement of caliper assembly. In this
case, suspend cylinder body with wire so as not to stretch
brake hose.
ICarefully monitor brake fluid level because brake fluid will
return to reservoir when pushing back piston.

DisassemblyNBBR0034WARNING:
Do not place your fingers in front of piston.
CAUTION:
Do not scratch or score cylinder wall.
1. Push out piston with dust seal with compressed air.
2. Remove piston seal with a suitable tool.
InspectionNBBR0035CALIPERNBBR0035S01Cylinder BodyNBBR0035S0101ICheck inside surface of cylinder for score, rust, wear, damage
or presence of foreign objects. If any of the above conditions
are observed, replace cylinder body.
IMinor damage from rust or foreign objects may be eliminated
by polishing surface with a fine emery paper. Replace cylinder
body if necessary.
CAUTION:
Use brake fluid to clean. Never use mineral oil.
PistonNBBR0035S0102Check piston for score, rust, wear, damage or presence of foreign
objects. Replace if any of the above conditions are observed.
CAUTION:
Piston sliding surface is plated. Do not polish with emery
paper even if rust or foreign objects are stuck to sliding sur-
face.
Slide Pin, Pin Bolt and Pin BootNBBR0035S0103Check for wear, cracks, rust or other damage. Replace if any of the
above conditions are observed.

ROTORNBBR0035S02RunoutNBBR0035S02011. Secure rotor to wheel hub with at least two nuts (M12´1.25).
2. Check runout using a dial indicator.
Make sure that wheel bearing axial end play is within the
specifications before measuring. Refer to AX-4, ªFront Wheel
Bearingº.
Maximum runout:
0.1 mm (0.004 in)
3. If the runout is out of specification, find minimum runout posi-
tion as follows:
a. Remove nuts and rotor from wheel hub.
b. Shift the rotor one hole and secure rotor to wheel hub with
nuts.
c. Measure runout.
d. Repeat steps a. to c. so that minimum runout position can be
found.
4. If the runout is still out of specification, turn rotor with on-car
brake lathe (ªMAD, DL-8700º, ªAMMCO 700 and 705º or
equivalent).

AssemblyNBBR00361. Insert piston seal into groove on cylinder body.
2. With piston boot fitted to piston, insert piston boot into groove
on cylinder body and install piston.
3. Properly secure piston boot

InstallationNBBR0037CAUTION:
IRefill with new brake fluid ªDOT 3º.
INever reuse drained brake fluid.
1. Install caliper assembly.
2. Install brake hose to caliper securely.
3. Install all parts and secure all bolts.
4. Bleed air. Refer to ªBleeding Brake Systemº, BR-8.
Brake Burnishing ProcedureNBBR0086When experiencing soft brake pedal feel at very low mileage, or
after replacing the rotor, burnish the brake pad contact surfaces
according to the following procedures.
CAUTION:
Only perform this procedure under safe road and traffic con-
ditions. Use extreme caution.
1. Drive the vehicle on a straight smooth road at 50 km/h (31
MPH).
2. Use medium brake pedal/foot effort to bring the vehicle to a
complete stop from 50 km/h (31 MPH). Adjust brake pedal/foot
pressure such that vehicle stopping time equals 3 to 5 sec-
onds.
3. To cool the brake system, drive the vehicle at 50 km/h (31
MPH) for 1 minute without stopping.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 10 times or more to complete the burnish-
ing procedure.

System ComponentsNBBR0090

System DescriptionNBBR0091SENSORNBBR0091S01The sensor unit consists of a gear-shaped sensor rotor and a sen-
sor element. The element contains a bar magnet around which a
coil is wound. The front sensors are installed on the front spindles
and the rear sensors are installed on the rear spindles. As the
wheel rotates, the sensor generates a sine-wave pattern. The fre-
quency and voltage increase(s) as the rotating speed increases.
SBR668E
CONTROL UNIT (BUILT-IN ABS ACTUATOR AND
ELECTRIC UNIT)
NBBR0091S02The control unit computes the wheel rotating speed by the signal
current sent from the sensor. Then it supplies a DC current to the
actuator solenoid valve. It also controls ON-OFF operation of the
valve relay and motor relay. If any electrical malfunction should be
detected in the system, the control unit causes the warning lamp
to light up. In this condition, the ABS will be deactivated by the
control unit, and the vehicle's brake system reverts to normal
operation. (For control unit layout, refer to ABS ACTUATOR AND
ELECTRIC UNIT, BR-33.)

*1: If one or more wheels spin on a rough or slippery road for 40 seconds or more, the ABS warning lamp will illuminate. This does not
indicate a malfunction. Only in the case of the short-circuit (Code Nos. 26, 22, 32 and 36), after repair the ABS warning lamp also illu-
minates when the ignition switch is turned ON. In this case, drive the vehicle at speeds greater than 30 km/h (19 MPH) for approxi-
mately 1 minute as specified in ªSELF-DIAGNOSIS PROCEDUREº, BR-41. Check to ensure that the ABS warning lamp goes out while
the vehicle is being driven.
