Rear Drum Brake Shoe Adjustment
Rear brake has self-adjusting mechanism but it does require
adjustment for proper drum to shoe clearance when brake shoe
has been replaced or brake drum has been removed for some
other service.
Adjustment is automatically accomplished by depressing brake
pedal about 30 times with approximately 30 kg (66 Ibs) load after
all parts are installed.
Then check brake drum for dragging and brake system for proper
performance. After lowering vehicle from hoist, brake test should
be performed.
Parking Brake Inspection and Adjustment
INSPECTION
Hold center of parking brake lever grip and pull it up with 20 kg
(44 Ibs) force.
With parking brake lever pulled up as above, count ratchet
notches.
There should be 6 to 8 notches.
Also, check if both right and left rear wheels are locked firmly. To
count number of notches easily, listen to click sounds that ratchet
makes while pulling parking brake lever without pressing its but-
ton.
One click sound corresponds to one notch.NOTE:
Be sure to use particular brake fluid either as indicated
on reservoir cap of that vehicle or recommended in
owner’s manual which comes along with that vehicle.
Use of any other fluid is strictly prohibited.
Fluid level should be between MIN and MAX lines marked
on reservoir.
When brake warning lamp lights sometimes during driv-
ing, replenish fluid to MAX level.
When fluid decreases quickly, inspect brake system for
leakage.
Correct leaky points and then refill to specified level.
CAUTION:
Do not use shock absorber fluid or any other fluid which
contains mineral oil. Do not use a container which has
been used for mineral oil or a container which is wet from
water. Mineral oil will cause swelling and distortion of
rubber parts in hydraulic brake system and water mixed
into brake fluid will lower fluid boiling point. Keep all fluid
containers capped to prevent contamination.

4) When fluid pressure in the cylinder is almost depleted,
retighten bleeder plug.
5) Repeat this operation until there are no more air bubbles in
hydraulic line.
6) When bubbles stop, depress and hold brake pedal and
tighten bleeder plug.

Rear wheel cylinder and LSPV bleeder plug
(c) : 8 N·m (0.8 kg-m, 6.0 lb-ft)
7) Then attach bleeder plug cap.
8) After completing bleeding operation, apply fluid pressure to
pipe line and check for leakage.
9) Replenish fluid into reservoir up to specified level.
10) Check brake pedal for “sponginess”. If found spongy, repeat
entire procedure of bleeding.
Brake Hose and Pipe Inspection
HOSE
The brake hose assembly should be checked for road hazard
damage, for cracks and chafing of the outer cover, for leaks and
blisters. A light and mirror may be needed for an adequate inspec-
tion. If any of the above conditions are observed on the brake
hose, it is necessary to replace it.

5) To increase clearance between brake shoe and brake drum,
remove rubber plug from brake back plate and turn adjuster
downward with flat-head screw driver.
6) Remove brake drum (1) off by using 8 mm bolts (2).
INSPECTION
Brake Drum
Inspect drum for cleanliness. Check wear of its braking surface by
measuring its inside diameter.
Drum inner diameter “a”
Standard : 220 mm (8.66 in.)
Service Limit : 222 mm (8.74 in.)
Whenever brake drums are removed, they should be thoroughly
cleaned and inspected for cracks, scores, deep grooves.
Cracked, scored, or grooved drum
A cracked, drum is unsafe for further service and must be
replaced.
Do not attempt to weld a cracked drum.
Smooth up any slight scores. Heavy or extensive scoring will
cause excessive brake lining wear and it will probably be neces-
sary to resurface drum braking surface.
If brake linings are slightly worn and drum is grooved, drum
should be polished with fine emery cloth but should not be turned.
NOTE:
When drum is removed, visually inspect wheel cylinder
for brake fluid leakage. Correct leaky point, if any.

General Description
The ABS (Antilock Brake System) is a system to prevent each wheel to lock during hard braking or braking on a
slippery road by controlling the fluid pressure from master cylinder to each brake (either brake caliper or wheel
cylinder).
The ABS of this vehicle monitors all four wheels (four sensors) and controls all four wheels when the system is
active.
The component parts of this ABS includes following parts in addition to those of the conventional brake system.
Wheel speed sensor senses revolution speed of each wheel and sends outputs to ABS control module.
In this ABS, ABS hydraulic unit (actuator assembly), ABS control module, pump motor transistor and fail-
safe transistor are combined as one component.
ABS control module sends operation signal to ABS hydraulic unit to control fluid pressure applied to each
wheel cylinder based on signal from each wheel speed sensor so as to prevent wheel from locking.
ABS hydraulic unit operates according to signal from ABS control module and controls fluid pressure applied
to wheel cylinder of each of 4 wheels.
Fail-safe transistor which supplies power to solenoid valve in ABS hydraulic unit.
Pump motor transistor supplies power to pump motor in ABS hydraulic unit.
“ABS” warning lamp lights to inform abnormality when system fails to operate properly.
G sensor which detects body deceleration speed.

ABS Control Module
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 “ABS” warning lamp as described below.
1) When ignition switch is turned ON, “ABS” warning lights for 2
seconds to check its bulb and circuit.
2) When no abnormality has been detected (the system is in
good condition), “ABS” warning lamp turns OFF after 2 sec-
onds.
3) When an abnormality in the system is detected, “ABS” warn-
ing lamp lights and the area where that abnormality lies is
stored in the memory in ABS control module.
4) When Diag. switch terminal of monitor connector is
grounded, the abnormal area is output as DTC.
For procedure to clear all DTC’s, refer to the item “Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) Clearance” in this section.
Fail-safe function
When an abnormality occurs (an abnormal DTC is detected),
ABS control module turns OFF the fail-safe transistor which sup-
plies power to ABS hydraulic unit. Thus, with ABS not operating,
brakes function just like the brake system of the vehicle without
ABS.SYSTEM CONDITIONDIAGNOSIS
