IBrake Booster Test
Functional Test
1. With the engine stopped, press the brake pedal
several times to deplete the vacuum reservoir, thenpress the pedal hard, and hold itfor 15 seconds. lfthe pedal sinks, either the master cylinder is
bypassing internally, or the brake system (master
cylinder, lines. modulator, or calipers) is leaking.
2. Start the engine with the brake pedal pressed. lf thepedal sinks slightly, the vacuum booster is workingproperly. lf the pedal height does not vary, thebooster or check valve is faulty.
3. With the engine running, press the brake pedal
lightly. lfthe brake pedal sinks more than 1O mm
{3/8 in, ) in 3 minutes, the master cylinder is faulty.A slight change in pedal height when the Ay'C
compressor cycles on and off is normal. (The A,/C
compressor load changes the vacuum available tothe booster.)
Leak Test
1. Press the brake pedal with the engine running, thenstop the engine. lf the pedal height does not vary
while pressed for 30 seconds, the vacuum boosteris OK. lf the pedal rises, the booster is faulty.
2. With the engine stopped, press the brake pedal
several times using normal pressure. When thepedal is first pressed, it should oe row.
On consecutive applications, the pedal height
should gradually rise. lfthe pedal position does notvarv, check the booster check valve.
19-18
3. Disconnect the brake booster vacuum hose (check
valve built-in) (A) at the booster side.
5.
4.Start the engine, and let it idle. There should bevacuum available. lf no vacuum is available, thecheck valve is not working properly. Repiace thebrake booster vacuum hose and check valve, andrelesI.
Reconnect the brake booster vacuum nose.
Start the engine, and then pinch the brake boostervacuum hose between the check valve and thebooster,
Turn the ignition switch OFF, and wait 30 seconds,Press the brake pedal several times using normalpressu re,
When the pedal is first pressed, it should be low.On consecutive applications, the pedal height
should gradually rise.
. lf the pedal position does notvary, replacethe
brake booster.. lf the pedal position varies, replace the brake
booster vacuum hose/check valve assembly.

DTC Troubleshooting
DTC 11, 13, 15, 17: Wheel Sensor
(Open/Short to Body Ground/Short to Power)
1. Disconnect the ABS control unit 31P connector.
2. Sta rt the engine.
3. Measure the voltage between the appropriate
wheel sensor (*)circuitterminal of theABS
control unit 31P connector and body ground (see

Seats
Front Seat Disassembly/Reassembly - Passenger's
For some models: SRS components are located in this area. Reviewthe SRS component locations (see page 23-'13)
and the precautions and procedures (see page 23-14) before doing repairs or service.
NOTE;. Take care not to tear the seams or damage the seat covers
. Put on gloves to protect your hands.
. When prying with a flat-tip screwdriver, wrap it with protective tape to prevent damage
. Apply multipu rpose grease to the moving portion of the seat track
. To Drevent wrinkles in the seat cushion cover, stretch the material evenly over the pad.
. lvlake sure the rear seat access cable is connected properly on each side
. Replace any damaged clips, and replace the wire ties with new ones

1.Open the door.
Wrap a flat-tip screwdriver with protective tape,
and apply protective tape around lhe body to
prevent damage. Carefully insert a flat-tip
screwdriver next to the upper clip, and detach the
clip by prying on the A-pillar corner trim (A). Take
care not to scratch the body and related parts.
