2) Install brake drum after making sure that inside of brake drum
and brake shoes are free from dirt and oil.
3) Upon completion of all jobs, depress brake pedal with about 30
kg (66 lbs) load three to ten times so as to obtain proper drum-to-
shoe clearance.
Adjust parking brake cable. (For adjustment, refer to PARKING
BRAKE CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT in Section 5.)
4) Tighten rear center console box screws.
5) Install wheel and tighten wheel nuts to specified torque.

6) Check to ensure that brake drum is free from dragging and prop-
er braking is obtained. Then remove vehicle from hoist and per-
form brake test (foot brake and parking brake).

5E1-6 ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) (OPTIONAL)
ABS HYDRAULIC UNIT/CONTROL MODULE
ASSEMBLY
ABS control module is a component of ABS hydrauli unit / control
module assembly and has the following functions.
Self-Diagnosis Function
ABS control module diagnoses conditions of the system compo-
nent parts (whether or not there is any abnormality) all the time and
indicates the results (warning of abnormality occurrence and DTC)
through the ªABSº warning lamp as described below.
1) When ignition switch is turned ON, ªABSº warning lamp lights for
2 seconds to check its bulb and circuit.
2) When no abnormality has been detected (the system is in good
condition), ªABSº warning lamp turns OFF after 2 seconds.
3) When the vehicle starts to move after the ignition switch is turned
ON (more than one wheel speed sensor signals are inputted),
solenoid valves and motor of ABS hydraulic unit operate once
one after another for electrical check.
During this check, motor operation sound may be heard but that
means nothing abnormal.
4) When an abnormality in the system is detected, ªABSº warning
lamp lights and the area where that abnormality lies is stored in
the memory of EEPROM in ABS control module.
5) When Diag. switch terminal of diagnosis connector (monitor
connector) is grounded, the abnormal area is output as DTC. It
is indicated by flashing of ªABSº warning lamp. (Refer to the
table below. )

For procedure to clear all DTC's, refer to the item ªDiagnostic
Trouble Code Clearanceº in this section.
Also ABS control module turns ON EBD warning lamp (brake warn-
ing lamp) depending on the trouble that detected by the module and
EBD warning lamp does not indicate DTC as well as ªABSº warning
lamp.
Fail-Safe Function
When an abnormality occurs (an abnormal DTC is detected), ABS
control module turns OFF the fail-safe relay which supplies power
to ABS hydraulic unit. Thus, with ABS not operating, brakes func-
tion just like the brake system of the vehicle not equipped with ABS.

DIAGNOSIS
To ensure that the trouble diagnosis is done accurately and smooth-
ly, observe ªPrecautions in Diagnosing Troublesº and follow ªABS
Diagnostic Flow Tableº.
PRECAUTION IN DIAGNOSING TROUBLES
If the vehicle was operated in any of the following ways, ªABSº
warning light may light momentarily but this does not indicate any-
thing abnormal in ABS.
± The vehicle was driven with parking brake pulled.
± The vehicle was driven with brake dragging.
± The vehicle was stuck in mud, sand, etc.
± Wheel spin occurred while driving.
± Wheel(s) was rotated while the vehicle was jacked up.
Be sure to read ªPrecautions for Electronic Circuit Serviceº in
ªGENERAL INFORMATIONº section before inspection and ob-
serve what is written there.
Be sure to use the trouble diagnosis procedure as described in
the flow table. Failure to follow the flow table may result in incor-
rect diagnosis. (Some other diag. trouble code may be stored by
mistake in the memory of ABS control module during inspection.)
