Inspection after InstallationNFS000P1
CAUTION:
Brake tubes and hoses are important safety parts. Always disassemble the parts and retighten their fit-
tings, if a brake fluid leak is detected. Replace applicable part with a new one, if damaged part is
detected.
1. Check brake lines (tubes and hoses) and connections for fluid leakage, damage, twists, deformation, con-
tacts with other parts, and loose connections. Replace any damage parts.
2. While depressing brake pedal under a force of 785 N (80 kg, 177 lb) with engine running for approximately
5 seconds, then check each part for fluid leakage.

System DiagramNFS000Q5
FunctionNFS000Q6
ABS
Anti-Lock Brake System is a function that detects wheel revolution while braking, electronically controls
braking force, and prevents wheel locking during sudden braking. It improves handling stability and
maneuverability for avoiding obstacles.
Electrical system diagnosis by CONSULT-II is available.
EBD
Electronic Brake force Distribution is a following function. ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit)
detects subtle slippages between the front and rear wheels during braking. Then it electronically controls
the rear braking force (brake fluid pressure) to reducing and reduces rear wheel slippage. Accordingly it
improves vehicle stability.
Electrical system diagnosis by CONSULT-II is available.
TCS
Traction Control System is a function that electronically controls engine torque, brake fluid pressure and
A/T gear position to ensure the optimum slippage ratio at drive wheels by computing wheel speed signals

Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
When installing, make sure there is no foreign material such as iron chips on and in the mounting hole of
the wheel sensor. Make sure no foreign material has been caught in the sensor rotor. Remove any foreign
material and clean the mount.
When installing wheel sensor, be sure to press rubber grommets in until they lock at locations shown
above in the figure. When installed, harness must not be twisted.
