Removal and InstallationAFS001Z5
REMOVAL
1. Disconnect ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector.
2. Loosen brake tube flare nuts, then remove brake tubes from ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).
3. Remove LH side fender protector. Refer to EI-25, "
FENDER PROTECTOR" .
4. Remove ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) mounting nuts.
5. Remove ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) from vehicle.
CAUTION:
Be careful of the following when removing ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).

If the part number on the part number label (pasted on actuator upper surface) is the same, ABS
actuator and electric unit (control unit) cannot be used on another vehicle.
If it is used on another vehicle, ABS warning lamp, SLIP indicator lamp and VDC OFF indicator
lamp may turn ON or VDC/TCS/ABS may not operate normally.
When replacing ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit), must use new service parts.

Before servicing, disconnect battery cables.

To remove brake tube, use a flare nut wrench to prevent flare nuts and brake tube from being dam-
aged. To install, use a flare nut torque wrench (commercial service tool) and tighten to the speci-
fied torque.

Do not apply excessive impact to actuator, such as dropping it.

Do not remove and install ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) by holding harness.
INSTALLATION
To install, follow procedure for removal in reverse order.
CAUTION:
Be careful of the following when installing ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).

Tighten the mounting bolts and nuts to the specified torque.

After the work, bleed air from brake piping. Refer to BR-10, "Bleeding Brake System" .

After installing vehicle harness connector in the actuator, make sure connector is securely locked.

When replacing ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit), calibrate Steering angle sensor neu-
tral position and Decel G sensor. Refer to BRC-6, "
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE" .
NOTE:

After performing above works, calibrate decel G-sensor (AWD model). Refer to BRC-6, "Calibration of
Decel G-sensor (AWD Model)" .

In the case that ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) are replaced, make sure to adjust position of
steering angle sensor. Refer to BRC-6, "
Adjustment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral Position" .

8. Repeat steps 3 through 6 two or more times with radiator cap installed until engine coolant level no longer
drops.
9. Check cooling system for leaks with engine running.
10. Warm up engine, and check for sound of engine coolant flow while running engine from idle up to 3,000
rpm with heater temperature controller set at several position between “COOL” and “WARM”.

Sound may be noticeable at heater unit.
11. Repeat step 10 three times.
12. If sound is heard, bleed air from cooling system by repeating step 3 through 6 until engine coolant level no
longer drops.

Clean excess engine coolant from engine.
FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM
1. Fill radiator with water until water spills from the air relief hole, then close air relief plug. Fill radiator and
reservoir tank with water and reinstall radiator cap.
2. Run engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
3. Rev engine two or three times under no-load.
4. Stop engine and wait until it cools down.
5. Drain water from the system. Refer to CO-11, "
DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT" .
6. Repeat steps 1 through 5 until clear water begins to drain from radiator.
