3) Upon completion of installation, fill reservoir tank with specified
fluid and bleed air from brake system.
NOTE:
Make sure to bleed air from LSPV bleeder without failure.
4) After bleeding air, check that LSPV is installed properly, referring
to following INSPECTION & ADJUSTMENT.
INSPECTION & ADJUSTMENT
Confirm the following before inspection and adjustment.
Fuel tank is filled with fuel fully.
Vehicle is equipped with spare tire, tools, jack and jack handle.
Vehicle is free from any other load.
With vehicle in above conditions;
1) Place it on level floor.
2) Push up (for 5 door model) or push down (for 3 door model)
LSPV lever with finger till it stops and measure length ªLº of coil
spring as it is pulled.
3) Spring length ªLº should be the value specified below.
Spring length (between spring end and spring bolt)
ªLº: 103 mm (4.06 in.) (5 door model). . . . .
ªLº: 157 mm (6.18 in.) (3 door model). . . . .
4) If it isn't, adjust it to specification by changing stay positions as
shown in figure. After adjustment, tighten bolt to specified
torque.
For details, refer to left figure.

(a): 23 N
.m (2.3 kg-m, 17.0 lb-ft)
NOTE:
Check to make sure that LSPV body and brake pipe joints
are free from fluid leakage. Replace defective parts, if any.

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.

Piston and Boot
1) Before inserting piston into cylinder, install boot onto piston as
shown.
2) Fit boot as it is in above figure into boot groove in cylinder with
fingers.
Check to make sure that boot is fitted into boot groove in cylinder
completely in its circumference.
3) Insert piston into cylinder by hand and fit boot in boot groove in
piston.
4) To confirm that boot is fitted in its groove in cylinder properly, pull
piston out of cylinder a little but do not take it all out.
5) Insert piston into cylinder by hand.
6) Install anti noise shim, if equipped.

PRECAUTION
When connector are connected to ABS hydraulic unit / control mod-

ignition switch ON. Then DTC will be set in ABS control module.
ABS HYDRAULIC UNIT OPERATION CHECK
1) Check that basic brake system other than ABS is in good condi-
tion.
2) Check that battery voltage is 11V or higher.
3) With ªABSº warning lamp, check that no abnormality is de-
tected in ABS. Refer to ªDIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE
(DTC) CHECKº in this section.
4) Lift up vehicle.
5) Set transmission to neutral and release parking brake.
6) Turn each wheel gradually by hand to check if brake dragging
occurs. If it does, correct.
7) With diag. switch terminal of diagnosis connector connected to
ground by using service wire, turn ignition switch ON and check
if ªABSº warning lamp indicates DTC 12.
8) Turn ignition switch OFF.
9) Perform following checks with help of another person.
Brake pedal should be depressed and then ignition switch
turned ON by one person and wheel should be turned by
another person's hand. At this time, check that:
Operation sound of solenoid is heard and wheel turns only
about 0.5 sec. (Brake force is depressurized).
Operation sound of pump motor is heard and pulsation is felt
at brake pedal.
10) If all 4-wheels cannot be checked during one ignition cycle
(OFF ON), repeat Steps 8) and 9) till all 4 wheels are
checked.
If a faulty condition is found in Steps 9) and 10), replace hydrau-
lic unit / control module assembly.
11) Turn ignition switch OFF and remove service wire from diagno-
sis connector.
