A/T Fluid Check
FLUID LEAKAGE CHECK
1. Clean area suspected of leaking. Ð for example, mating sur-face of converter housing and transmission case.
2. Start engine, apply foot brake, place selector lever in ªDº posi- tion and wait a few minutes.
3. Stop engine.
4. Check for fresh leakage.
FLUID CONDITION CHECK
Fluid color Suspected cause
Dark or black with burned odor Wear of frictional material
Milky pink Water contamination Ð Road water enter-
ing through filler tube or breather
Varnished fluid, light to dark
brown and tacky Oxidation Ð Over or under filling, Ð Over-
heating
FLUID LEVEL CHECK
Refer to MA section (ªChecking A/T Fluidº, ªCHASSIS AND BODY
MAINTENANCEº).
Stall Test
STALL TEST PROCEDURE
1. Check A/T and engine fluid levels. If necessary, add.
2. Drive vehicle for approx. 10 minutes or until engine oil and ATF
reach operating temperature.ATF operating temperature: 50 - 80ÉC (122 - 176ÉF)
3. Set parking brake and block wheels.
4. Install a tachometer where it can be seen by driver during test.
I It is good practice to put a mark on point of specified
engine rpm on indicator.
5. Start engine, apply foot brake, and place selector lever in ªDº position.
6. Accelerate to wide open throttle gradually while applying foot brake.
7. Quickly note the engine stall revolution and immediately release throttle.
I During test, never hold throttle wide open for more than 5
seconds.
Stall revolution: 2,450 - 2,700 rpm

OPERATING CHECK
IDepress brake pedal several times with engine off, and check
that there is no change in pedal stroke.
I Depress brake pedal, then start engine. If pedal goes down
slightly, operation is normal.
AIRTIGHT CHECK
IStart engine, and stop it after one or two minutes. Depress
brake pedal several times slowly. If pedal goes further down the
first time and gradually rises after second or third time, booster
is airtight.
I Depress brake pedal while engine is running, and stop engine
with pedal depressed. If there is no change in pedal stroke after
holding pedal down 30 seconds, brake booster is airtight.
OUTPUT ROD LENGTH CHECK
1. Apply vacuum of þ66.7 kPa (þ667 mbar, þ500 mmHg, þ19.69
inHg) to brake booster with a manual vacuum pump and check
output rod length ªAº.Specified length ªAº: 22.15 - 22.45 mm (0.872 - 0.884 in)
(The length ªAº in this case is the distance from end of output
rod to outside of brake booster, when the specified vacuum is
applied.)

Purpose
The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) with an integrated Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD) system con-
sists of electronic and hydraulic components. It allows you to control the braking force so that wheel lock can
be avoided during braking.
The advantages of ABS with EBD
1) Better tracking performance through improved steering wheel control.
2) Improved maneuverability and safer vehicle control.
3) Improved vehicle stability by preventing flat spins.
4) Shorter stopping distance and optimal utilisation of the rear brakes under many different circumstances.
Operation
IABS with EBD has self-test capabilities. The ABS warning lamp is illuminated for 1 second each time the
ignition switch is turned ªONº. After the engine is started, the ABS warning lamp turns off. An ABS self-test
is performed the first time the vehicle reaches 6 km/h (4 MPH) to ensure the system is operational. A
mechanical noise may be heard as the ABS performs this self-test and is a normal part of the self-test
feature. If a malfunction is detected during this check, the ABS warning lamp will stay on.
During the self-test, it also performs a EBD check when it detects a failure the ABS warning light will go
on simultaneously with the brake warning light and an audible sound will sound constantly.
I EBD system will only operate when the ABS is not in active status and it uses the inlet valves of ABS con-
trol unit to limit the pressure to the rear wheels when they tend to go into slip.
I When the vehicle speed is less than 10 km/h (6 MPH) the ABS system does not operate.
I While driving, a mechanical noise may be heard during ABS operation, this is a normal system condition.

Checking Fluid Leakage
Check the lines for improper attachment and for leaks, cracks,
damage, loose connections, chafing or deterioration.
1. Run engine between idle speed and 1,000 rpm.
Make sure temperature of fluid in oil tank rises to 50 to 80ÉC
(122 to 176ÉF).
2. Turn steering wheel right-to-left several times.
3. Hold steering wheel at each ªlockº position for five seconds andcarefully check for fluid leakage.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel in a locked position for more
than 10 seconds (There is possibility that oil pump may be
damaged.).
4. If fluid leakage at connectors is noticed, loosen flare nut and then retighten.
Do not overtighten connector as this can damage O-ring,
washer and connector.
5. If fluid leakage at the connectors are noticed, then loosen the flare nut and retighten it.
Bleeding Hydraulic System
1. Raise front end of vehicle until wheels are clear of the ground.
2. Add fluid into oil tank to specified level. Meanwhile quickly turnsteering wheel fully to right and left and lightly touch steering
stoppers.
Repeat steering wheel operation until fluid level no longer
decreases.
3. Start engine. Repeat step 2 above.
I Incomplete air bleeding will cause the following to occur. When
this happens, bleed air again.
a. Generation of air bubbles in reservoir tank
b. Generation of clicking noise in oil pump
c. Excessive buzzing in oil pump
While the vehicle is stationary or while moving the steering wheel
slowly, fluid noise may occur in the valve or oil pump. This noise is
inherent in this steering system, and it will not affect performance
or durability of the system.
