DISC ROTOR INSPECTION
Visual Inspection
Check surfaces of disc rotor for uneven wear, cracks, and serious damage. If a malfunction is detected,
replace applicable part.
Runout Inspection
1. Using wheel nuts, fix the disc rotor to wheels hub. (2 or more positions)
2. Using a dial indicator, check runout.
CAUTION:
Before measuring, make sure that axle end play is 0 mm (0
in).
3. If runout is outside the limit, find minimum runout point by shift- ing mounting positions of disc rotor and wheel hub by one hole.
Thickness Inspection
Using a micrometer, check thickness of disc rotor. If thickness is out-
side the specification, replace disc rotor.
Brake Burnishing ProcedureNFS000OE
Burnish the brake pad or lining contact surfaces of rotor according to following procedure after refinishing or
replacing drums or rotors, after replacing pads or linings, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.
CAUTION:

Be careful of vehicle speed because brake does not operate easily until pad and disc rotor are
securely fitted.

Only perform this procedure under safe road and traffic conditions. Use extreme caution.
1. Drive vehicle on straight, flat road.
2. Depress brake pedal with the power to stop vehicle within 3 to 5 seconds until the vehicle stops.
3. Drive without depressing brake for a few minutes to cool brake.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 until pad and disc rotor are securely fitted. Measurement point
: At a point 10 mm (0.394 in)
from outer edge of disc.
Runout limit : 0.05 mm (0.0020 in) or less

Standard thickness : 16.0 mm (0.630 in)
Wear limit : 14.0 mm (0.551 in)

PRECAUTIONS
Revision: 2006 December 2006 FX35/FX45

If there is a radio, antenna, or antenna lead-in wire (including wiring) near control module, VDC/TCS/ABS
function may have a malfunction or error.

If aftermarket parts (car stereo, CD player, etc.) have been installed, check for incidents such as harness
pinches, open circuits, and improper wiring.

If the following components are replaced with non-genuine components or converted, VDC OFF indicator
lamp and SLIP indicator lamp may turn on or the VDC system may not operate properly. Components
related to suspension (shock absorber, strut, spring, bushing, etc.), Tires, wheels (exclude specified size),
components related to brake (pad, rotor, caliper, etc.), components related to engine (muffler, ECM, etc.),
components related to body reinforcement (roll bar, tower bar, etc.).

Driving in the condition of breakage or excessive wear of suspension, tires or components related to the
brakes may cause VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp turn on, and the VDC system may
not operate properly.

When the TCS or VDC is activated by sudden acceleration or sudden turn, some noise may occur. The
noise is a result of the normal operation of the TCS and VDC.

When driving on roads which have extreme slopes (such as mountainous roads) or high banks (such as
sharp carves on a freeway), the VDC may not operate normally, or VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP
indicator lamp may turn on. However, this is not a malfunction, if normal operation can be resumed after
restarting engine.

Sudden turns (such as spin turns, acceleration turns), drifting, etc. When VDC function is OFF (VDC OFF
SW ON) may cause the G sensor system indicate a malfunction. However, this is not a malfunction, if nor-
mal operation can be resumed after restarting engine.

Change 4 tires at a time. Be sure to use specified-size tires that have the same brand name and pattern.
Wheel sensor errors can be detected be self-diagnosis when tires have wide abrasion variations or the
size is different from the genuine tires.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR SYMPTOMSPFP:00007
Excessive ABS Function Operation FrequencyNFS000NY
1. CHECK FRONT AND REAR AXLE
Make sure there is no excessive looseness in the front and rear axles.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> Check front or rear axle system.
2. CHECK WHEEL SENSOR
Perform following inspection for wheel sensor:

Sensor mount and damage inspection

Sensor rotor mount and damage inspection

Sensor connector connection inspection

Sensor harness inspection
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> Replace sensor or sensor rotor.
3. CHECK ABS WARNING LAMP DISPLAY
Make sure warning lamp turns off approximately 2 seconds after the ignition switch is turned ON or when driv-
ing.
OK or NG
OK >> Normal
NG >> Perform self-diagnosis. Refer to BRC-25, "
Self-Diagnosis" .
Unexpected Pedal ReactionNFS000NZ
1. CHECK BRAKE PEDAL STROKE
Check brake pedal stroke.
Is the stroke too long?
YES >>
Bleed air from brake piping.

Check brake pedal, brake booster, and master cylinder mount for play, looseness, and brake
system for fluid leaks, etc. If any malfunctions are found, make repair.
NO >> GO TO 2.
2. CHECK FUNCTION
Disconnect ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector E56 and make sure that braking force is suf-
ficient when ABS in not operating. After the inspection, reconnect connector.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2. CHECK WHEEL SENSOR. Refer to BRC-51, "Excessive ABS Function Operation Fre-
quency" .
