VSA Modulator-Control Unit Removal and Installation (cont’d)
1. Install the VSA modulator-control unit onto the bracket.
2. Install the bracket with the VSA modulator-control unit to the body.
3. Reconnect the six brake lines, then tighten the flare nuts to the specified torque.
4. Align the connecting surface of the VSA modulator-control unit 37P connector to the VSA modulator-control unit.
5. Pull up the lever of the VSA m
odulator-control unit 37P connector, then confirm the connector is fully seated.
6. Bleed the brake system (see page 19-9).
7. Do the VSA sensor neutral position memorization (see page 19-169).
8. Start the engine, and make sure the ABS and the VSA indicators go off.
9. Test-drive the vehicle, and make sure the ABS, and the VSA indicators do not come on. NOTE: If the brake pedal is spongy, there may be air trapped in the modulator which could then be induced into
the normal brake system during modulation. Bleed the brake system again (see page 19-9).

4. Apply multi-purpose grease to the wheel speedsensor O-ring (A) and the sensor hole in the knuckle
(B).
5. Insert the guide pin tool (A) into the wheel speed sensor bolt hole until the shoulder of the tool
contacts the wheel speed sensor bracket.
NOTE: To prevent O-ring damage, the wheel speed
sensor must be installed with the guide pin tool. 6. Insert the wheel speed sensor (A) and the guide pin
tool (B) into the bolt hole on the knuckle.
NOTE: To ensure proper alignment when pushing
the wheel speed sensor into the knuckle housing,
do not hold the sensor bracket during installation,
hold the sensor wire.
7. Gently push and pull the wheel speed sensor in and out to make sure the O-ring is sliding properly in its
housing. While you are doing this, make sure the
sensor doesn’t come out of the knuckle assembly. If
the sliding effort is too high, remove the wheel
speed sensor, inspect the O-ring for damage, and
start the installation process again.
8. Remove the guide pin tool, then install the bolt, and tighten it to specified torque.
9. Clean the mating surfaces between the brake disc and the inside of the wheel, then install the front
wheel.
10. Start the engine, and make sure the ABS and the VSA indicators go off.
11. Test-drive the vehicle, and make sure the ABS and the VSA indicators do not come on.
