Water Passage Installation
1.Clean and dry the water passage mating surfaces.
Apply liquid gasket P/N 08718-0009, evenly to the
cylinder block mating surface ofthewater passage
and to the inner threads of the bolt holes.
NOTE: Do not installthe parts if 5 minutes or more
have elapsed since applying liquid gasket. Instead,
reapply liquid gasket after removing old residue.
3. Installthe water passage (A)with a new O-ring (B).
10 x 1.25 mm44 N m {4.5 kgt m.33 lbf.ft}
4. After assembly, wait at least 30 minutes before
filling the engine with oil.

ABS Components
System Description (cont'd)
ABS Modulator
The ABS modulator consists of the inlet solenoid valves, outlet solenoid valves, reservoir, pump, pump motor, and the
damping chamber. The modulator reduces the caliper fluid pressure directly. lt is a circulating-type modulator
becausethe brakefluidcirculatesthroughthecaliper,reservoir,andthemastercylinder.Thehydrauliccontrol has
three modes: pressure intensifying, pressure retaining, and pressure reducing. The hydraulic circuit is an independent
four-channeltype, one channel for each wheel.
Pressure intensifying mode: Inletvalve open, outlel valve closed
Master cylinder fluid is pumped out to the caliper.
Pressure retaining mode: lnlet valve closed, outlet valve closed
Caliper fluid is retained by the inlet valve and outlet valve.
Pressure reducing mode: Inlet valve closed, outlet valve open
Caliper fluid flows through the outlet valve to the reservoir.
lvlotor operation mode: When starting the pressure reducing mode, the pump motor is ON.
When stopping ABS operation, the pump motor is OFF.
The caliper fluid is pumped out by the pump, through the damping chamber, to the
master cvlinder.

Wheel Sensors
The wheel sensors are the magnetic contactless type. As the gear pulser teeth rotate past the wheel sensor's magnetic
coil, AC current is generated. The AC frequency changes in accordance with the wheel speed. The ABS control unit
detects the wheel sensor signal frequency and thereby detects the wheel speed.

When the wheel speed drops sharply below the vehicle speed, the inlet valve closes and il necessary, the outlet valve
opens momentarily to reduce the caliper fluid pressure. The pump motor starts at this time. As the wheel speed is
restored, and the outlet valve closes, the inlet valve opens momentarily to increase the caliper fluid pressure.

Heater Unit/Core Replacement
SRS components are located in this area. Review the
SRS component locations (see page 23'13), and
precautions and procedures (see page 23-14) in the SRS
section before performing repairs or service.
1. Make sure you have the anti-theft code forthe radio,
then write down the freouencies for the radio's
Dreset buttons.
4.
Disconnect the negative cable from the battery,
Disconnect the suction and receiver lines from the
evaporator core (see page 21-42).
From under the hood, open the cable clamp (A),
then disconnect the heater valve cable (B) from the
heater valve arm (C). Turn the heater valve arm to
the fully opened position as shown
When the engine is cool, drain the engine coolant
from the radiator (see page 10-6).
6. Slide the hose clamps (A) back, the n d isconnect the
inlet heater hose (B) and the outlet heater hose (C)
from the heater core. Engine coolant will run out
when the hoses are disconnected; drain it into a
clean drip pan. Be sure not to let coolant spill on
the electrical parts or the painted surfaces. lf any
coolant spills, rinse it off immediately.
Remove the bolt and the heater valve, then remove
the mounting nut from the heater unit. Take care
not to damage or bend the fuel lines and the brake
lines, etc.
