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
or being pulled. Don't operate brake pedal with pads re-
moved.
4) Remove pads.
INSPECTION
Brake Pad
Check pad lining for wear. When wear exceeds limit, replace with
new one.
CAUTION:
Never polish pad lining with sandpaper. If lining is polished
with sandpaper, hard particles of sandpaper will be depos-
ited in lining and may damage disc. When pad lining re-
quires correction, replace it with a new one.
Pad thickness (lining + rim) ªaº
Standard: 15.0 mm (0.590 in.) For SUMITOMO ELECTRIC. . .

NOTE:
When pads are removed, visually inspect caliper for brake

REMOVAL
1) Hoist vehicle and remove wheel.
2) Remove brake flexible hose mounting bolt from caliper. As this
will allow fluid to flow out of hose, have a container ready before-
hand.
3) Remove caliper pin bolts.
4) Remove caliper.
DISASSEMBLY
Before disassembly, clean all around caliper with brake fluid.
1) Remove anti noise shim (if equipped) and blow compressed air
into cylinder through bolt hole where flexible hose was fitted.
With this air pressure, piston can be pushed out of cylinder.
WARNING:
Do not apply too highly compressed air which will cause
piston to jump out of cylinder. It should be taken out grad-
ually with moderately compressed air. Do not place your
fingers in front of piston when using compressed air.

ABS HYDRAULIC UNIT/CONTROL MODULE
ASSEMBLY
ABS control module is a component of ABS hydrauli unit / control
module assembly and has the following functions.
Self-Diagnosis Function
ABS control module diagnoses conditions of the system compo-
nent parts (whether or not there is any abnormality) all the time and
indicates the results (warning of abnormality occurrence and DTC)
through the ªABSº warning lamp as described below.
1) When ignition switch is turned ON, ªABSº warning lamp lights for
2 seconds to check its bulb and circuit.
2) When no abnormality has been detected (the system is in good
condition), ªABSº warning lamp turns OFF after 2 seconds.
3) When the vehicle starts to move after the ignition switch is turned
ON (more than one wheel speed sensor signals are inputted),
solenoid valves and motor of ABS hydraulic unit operate once
one after another for electrical check.
During this check, motor operation sound may be heard but that
means nothing abnormal.
4) When an abnormality in the system is detected, ªABSº warning
lamp lights and the area where that abnormality lies is stored in
the memory of EEPROM in ABS control module.
5) When Diag. switch terminal of diagnosis connector (monitor
connector) is grounded, the abnormal area is output as DTC. It
is indicated by flashing of ªABSº warning lamp. (Refer to the
table below. )

For procedure to clear all DTC's, refer to the item ªDiagnostic
Trouble Code Clearanceº in this section.
Also ABS control module turns ON EBD warning lamp (brake warn-
ing lamp) depending on the trouble that detected by the module and
EBD warning lamp does not indicate DTC as well as ªABSº warning
lamp.
Fail-Safe Function
When an abnormality occurs (an abnormal DTC is detected), ABS
control module turns OFF the fail-safe relay which supplies power
to ABS hydraulic unit. Thus, with ABS not operating, brakes func-
tion just like the brake system of the vehicle not equipped with ABS.

1-2. PROBLEM SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION
Check if what the customer claimed in CUSTOMER QUESTIONNAIRE is actually found in the vehicle and
if that symptom is found, whether it is identified as a failure. (This step should be shared with the customer
if possible.) When ªABSº warning lamp is not operated correctly, proceed to ªDiagnostic Flow Table-A, B or
Cº.
1-3. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) CHECK, RECORD AND CLEARANCE
Perform ªDiagnostic Trouble Code Checkº as shown below, record it and then clear it referring to ªDiagnostic
Trouble Code Clearanceº in this section.
If the malfunction DTC which was once displayed and then cleared cannot be detected (indicated) again when
the ignition switch is turned ON, attempt to diagnose the trouble based on the DTC recorded in this step may
mislead the diagnosis or make diagnosing difficult. Proceed to Step 2 to check ABS control module for proper
self-diagnosis function.
If the malfunction DTC which was once displayed and then cleared can be detected (indicated) again when
ignition switch is turned ON, proceed to Step 3.
2. DRIVING TEST
Test drive the vehicle at 40 km / h for more than a minute and check if any trouble symptom (such as abnormal
lighting of ªABSº warning lamp) exists.
If the malfunction DTC is confirmed again at ignition switch ON, driving test as described in above is not neces-
sary. Proceed to Step 3.
3. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHECK
Recheck diagnostic trouble code referring to item ªDTC CHECKº as shown below.
4. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE FLOW CHART
According to Diagnostic flow table for the diagnostic trouble code confirmed in Step 3, locate the cause of the
trouble, namely in a sensor, switch, wire harness, connector, actuator, ABS control module or other part and
repair or replace faulty parts.
5. ªDIAGNOSISº IN ªBRAKEº SECTION
Check the parts or system suspected as a possible cause referring to ªDiagnosisº in ªBRAKESº section and
based on symptoms appearing on the vehicle (symptoms obtained through Steps 1-1, 1-2 and 2 and repair or
replace faulty parts, if any.
6. CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEM
Check parts where an intermittent trouble is easy to occur (e.g., wire harness, connector, etc.), referring to IN-
TERMITTENT TROUBLE in ªGENERAL INFORMATIONº section and related circuit of trouble code recorded
in Step 1-3.
7. FINAL CONFIRMATION TEST
Confirm that the problem symptom has gone and the ABS is free from any abnormal conditions. If what has been
repaired is related to the malfunction DTC, clear the DTC once and perform test driving and confirm that a nor-
mal code is indicated.

NOTE:
Perform this check on a level place.
1) Turn ignition switch ON with parking brake applied.
2) Check that brake warning lamp is turned ON.
3) Release parking brake with ignition switch ON and check that
EBD warning lamp (brake warning lamp) goes off.
If it doesn't go off, go to ªTABLE-Eº in this section.
ªABSº WARNING LAMP CHECK
1) Turn ON the ignition switch.
2) Check that ªABSº warning lamp lights for about 2 seconds and
then goes OFF.
If anything faulty is found, advance to Diagnostic table ± A, B or
C.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) CHECK
(USING ªABSº WARNING LAMP)
1) Using service wire, connect diag. switch terminal of diagnosis
connector to ground.
2) Turn ignition switch ON.
3) Read flashing of ªABSº warning lamp which represents DTC as
shown in example below and write it down. When more than 2
DTC's are stored in memory, deflection and flashing for each
DTC is repeated three times starting with the smallest DTC num-
ber in increasing order.
For details of DTC, refer to ªDTC Tableº.

is a current trouble, ªABSº warning lamp remains ON and
therefore DTC is not indicated.
4) After completing the check, turn ignition switch off and discon-
nect service wire from DIAG. connector.

CLEARANCE
WARNING:
When performing a driving test, select a safe place where
there is neither any traffic nor any traffic accident possibil-
ity and be very careful during testing to avoid occurrence of
an accident.
After repair or replace malfunction part(s), clear all DTC's by per-
forming the following procedure.
1) Turn ignition switch OFF.
2) Using service wire, connect diag. switch terminal of diag. con-
nector to diag. ground terminal.
3) With connection described in above step 2) maintained, turn
ignition switch ON.
4) Repeat on / off operation of service wire at diag. ground terminal
at least 5 times within 10 seconds.
NOTE:
Service wire ON time must be for 0.1 second and more.
5) Turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect service wire from diag.
connector.
6) Perform DRIVING TEST and DTC CHECK and confirm that nor-
mal DTC (DTC 12) is displayed; not malfunction DTC.
NOTE:
It is also possible to clear DTC by using SUZUKI scan tool.
Refer to Cartridge Manual for procedure to clear DTC.
