Basic InspectionEFS001BK
BASIC INSPECTION 1 BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND LEAKAGE INSPECTION
1. Check fluid level in brake reservoir tank. If fluid level is low, refill brake fluid.
2. Check area around brake piping and ABS actuator for leaks. If a leak or oozing is detected, check as fol-
lows:
lIf connections at ABS actuator are loose, tighten piping to the specified torque. Then check again for
leaks, and be sure there is no fluid leak.
lIf the flare nuts at the connections and the threads of the ABS actuator are damaged, replace the dam-
aged parts. Then check again for leaks, and make sure that there is no fluid leak.
lIf leak or oozing is detected except for ABS actuator connections, wipe it with clean cloth. Then check
again for leaks. If there is still leak or oozing, replace damaged part.
lIf leak or oozing is detected on ABS actuator, wipe with a clean cloth. Check again for leaks, and if
there is still leak or oozing, replace ABS actuator.
CAUTION:
ABS actuator body cannot be disassembled.
BASIC INSPECTION 2 INSPECTION FOR LOOSE POWER SUPPLY TERMINAL
Check battery for looseness on battery positive/negative terminals and ground connection.
BASIC INSPECTION 3 ABS/4WD WARNING LAMP INSPECTION
1. Be sure ABS warning lamp turns on when ignition switch is turned ON. If it does not turn on, check ABS
warning lamp harness.
2. Check 4WD warning lamp illuminates with ignition switch ON. If not so, check 4WD warning lamp path.
3. Be sure ABS warning lamp turns off after approximately 1 second when ignition switch is turned ON. If it
does not turn off, perform self-diagnosis.
4. Be sure 4WD warning lamp turns off after several seconds when engine is started. If it does not turn off,
perform self-diagnosis.
5. After driving the vehicle at Approx. 30km/h for a few seconds, check 4WD warning lamp and ABS warning
lamp do not illuminate.
6. After completing the self-diagnosis, always erase the diagnosis memory.
