Fluid Pressure Test (If Equipped with LSPV)
Test procedure for LSPV assembly is as follows.
Before testing, confirm the following.
Fuel tank is filled with fuel fully.
Vehicle is equipped with spare tire, tools, jack and jack han-
dle.
1) Stop vehicle on level floor and place approximately about
140 kg (309 Ibs) weight on rear housing so that rear axle
weights 600 kg (1323 Ib).
Rear axle weight
“L” : 600 kg (1323 lb)
2) Install special tool to front and rear brake.
Special tool
Front brake
(A) : 09956-02310
(B) : 55473-82030 (Use the air bleeder plug supplied as a
spare part)
Rear brake
(A) : 09956-02310
(B) : 55473-82030 (Use the air bleeder plug supplied as a
spare part)
3) Depress brake pedal gradually till fluid pressure of front
brake becomes as specified below and check corresponding
pressure of rear brake. It should be within specification given
below.
As done above, apply 100 kg/cm
2 pressure to front brake and
check that rear brake pressure is within specification as given
below.NOTE:
Special tool should be connected to bleeder plug hole of
front (driver’s side brake) and rear brakes.

INSPECTION
Step Action Yes No
1 1) Disconnect the applicable sensor connector with ignition
switch OFF.
2) Measure resistance between sensor terminals.
Resistance of wheel speed sensor: 1.4 – 1.8 kΩ (at
20°C, 68°F)
3) Measure resistance between each terminal and body
ground.
Insulation resistance: 1MΩ or higher
Were measured resistance values in step 2) and 3) as spec-
ified? (See [A])Go to step 2. Replace sensor.
2 1) Ignition switch OFF.
2) Disconnect connector from ABS hydraulic unit / control
module assembly. (See [B])
3) Check for proper connection to ABS hydraulic unit / con-
trol module assembly at each sensor terminal.
4) If OK, then turn ignition switch ON and measure voltage
between sensor positive terminal of module connector
and body ground.
Is it 0V?Go to step 3. Sensor positive cir-
cuit shorted to
power.
3 1) Ignition switch OFF.
2) Connect connector to sensor.
3) Measure resistance between sensor terminals at mod-
ule connector.
4) Measure resistance between sensor positive terminal
and negative terminal of module connector, between
positive terminal and body ground.
Are measured resistance values within each specified range
described in above step 1?Go to step 4. Circuit open or
shorted to ground.
4 1) Remove wheel speed sensor.
2) Check sensor for damage or foreign material being
attached.
Is it in good condition? (See [C])Go to step 5. Clean or replace
sensor.
5 Check visually through wheel speed sensor installation hole
for following.
Ring serration (teeth) neither missing or damaged.
No foreign material being attached.
Ring not being eccentric.
Wheel bearing free from excessive play.
Are they in good condition? (See [D])Go to step 6. Clean, repair or
replace.
6 1) Install sensor to knuckle or axle housing.
2) Tighten sensor bolt to specified torque and check that
there is not any clearance between sensor and knuckle
or axle housing. (See [E])
Replace sensor if any.
Referring to “Front Wheel Speed Sensor” in this section,
check output voltage or waveform of sensor. Is proper out-
put voltage or waveform obtained?Substitute a known-
good ABS hydraulic
unit / control module
assembly and
recheck.Replace sensor and
recheck.
