Brake Fluid Level Switch CircuitNFS000NT
DTC C1155
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1. CHECK SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS
1. Check fluid level in brake fluid reservoir tank. If the level is low, add brake fluid.
2. Clear the stored self-diagnostic results and check self-diagnostic results.
Is the above displayed in the self-diagnosis display item?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> INSPECTION END
2. CHECK CONNECTOR
1. Disconnect brake fluid level switch connector and ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector and check terminal for deformation, disconnection, looseness, and so on. If any malfunction is found,
repair or replace terminal.
2. Securely reconnect connectors and perform self-diagnosis again.
OK or NG
OK >> Connector terminal contact is loose, damaged, open or shorted.
NG >> GO TO 3.
3. CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN BRAKE FLUID LEVEL SWITCH AND ABS ACTUATOR AND ELEC-
TRIC UNIT (CONTROL UNIT)
1. Turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect brake fluid level switch connector E52 and ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit)
connector E56.
2. Check continuity between brake fluid level switch harness con- nector and ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) harness
connector.
OK or NG
OK >> Connect connectors and perform an ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) self-diagnosis.
NG >> If open or short in harness, repair or replace applied harness.

OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 5.
NG >> Check the corresponding items. Refer to AT- 4 4 , "
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS" in “A/T”.
5. CHECK SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS 1
Perform self-diagnosis of ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).
Are self-diagnosis items displayed?
YES >> Check the corresponding items, make repairs, and perform ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) self-diagnosis again.
NO >> GO TO 6.
6. CHECK CONNECTOR
1. Disconnect ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector E56 and ECM connector, check termi- nals for deformation, disconnection, looseness, and so on. If any malfunction is found, repair or replace
connector.
2. Securely reconnect connector and perform self-diagnosis.
OK or NG
OK >> If poor connect, damaged, open or short circuit is found, repair or replace connector terminal.
NG >> GO TO 7.
7. CHECK SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS 2
Re-perform ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) self-diagnosis.
Are self-diagnosis items displayed?
YES >> Repair or replace malfunctioning items.
NO >> GO TO 8.

INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Be careful of the following when installing ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).

Tighten the mounting bolts and nuts to the specified torque.

After the work, bleed air from brake piping. Refer to BR-10, "Bleeding Brake System" .

After installing vehicle harness connector in the actuator, make sure connector is securely locked.

When replacing ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit), calibrate steering angle sensor neu-
tral position and decel G sensor. Refer to BRC-6, "
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE" .

4. Make sure that the rim is completely crimped down.
5. Make sure that there is no leakage. Refer to CO-20, "
INSPECTION" .
INSPECTION
1. Apply pressure with the radiator cap tester adapter (SST) and
the radiator cap tester (commercial service tool).
WARNING:
To prevent the risk of hose coming undone while under
pressure, securely fasten it down with hose clamp.
CAUTION:
Attach hose to A/T fluid cooler to seal its inlet and outlet.
2. Check for leakage by soaking radiator in water container with the testing pressure applied. Standard height “H” : 8.0 - 8.4 mm (0.315 - 0.331 in)

ComponentsNBS003K5
Removal and InstallationNBS003K6
CAUTION:

When removing water pump assembly, be careful not to get engine coolant on drive belts.

Water pump cannot be disassembled and should be replaced as a unit.

After installing water pump, connect hose and clamp securely, then check for leaks using the radi-
ator cap tester (commercial service tool) and the radiator cap tester adapter [SST: EG17650301
(J33984-A)].
REMOVAL
1. Remove front engine undercover with power tool.
2. Remove drive belts. Refer to EM-15, "
DRIVE BELTS" .
3. Drain engine coolant from radiator. Refer to CO-11, "
Changing Engine Coolant" .
CAUTION:

Perform this step when the engine is cold.

Do not spill engine coolant on drive belts.
4. Remove air duct (inlet), power duct and air cleaner case assembly. Refer to EM-17, "
AIR CLEANER AND
AIR DUCT" .
5. Remove water drain plug (front) on water pump side of cylinder block to drain engine coolant from engine inside.
6. Remove chain tensioner cover and water pump cover from front timing chain case.

7. Remove timing chain tensioner (primary) as follows:
a. Remove lower mounting bolt. CAUTION:
Be careful not to drop mounting bolt inside timing chain
case.
b. Loosen upper mounting bolt slowly, and then turn chain ten- sioner (primary) on the mounting bolt so that plunger is fully
expanded.
NOTE:
Even if plunger is fully expanded, it is not dropped from the body
of timing chain tensioner (primary).
c. Turn crankshaft pulley clockwise so that timing chain on the tim- ing chain tensioner (primary) side is loose.
d. Remove upper mounting bolt, and then remove timing chain ten- sioner (primary).
CAUTION:
Be careful not to drop mounting bolt inside timing chain
case.
8. Remove water pump as follows:
a. Remove three water pump mounting bolts. Secure a gap between water pump gear and timing chain, by turning crank-
shaft pulley counterclockwise until timing chain looseness on
water pump sprocket becomes maximum.

a. Turn crankshaft pulley clockwise so that timing chain on the tim-
ing chain tensioner (primary) side is loose.
b. Pull plunger stopper tab up (or turn lever downward) so as to remove plunger stopper tab from the ratchet of plunger.
NOTE:
Plunger stopper tab and lever are synchronized.
c. Push plunger into the inside of tensioner body.
d. Hold plunger in the fully compressed position by engaging plunger stopper tab with the tip of ratchet.
e. To secure lever, insert stopper pin through hole of lever into ten- sioner body hole.

The lever parts and the tab are synchronized. Therefore, the
plunger will be secured under this condition.
NOTE:
Figure shows the example of 1.2 mm (0.047 in) diameter thin screwdriver being used as the stopper pin.
f. Install timing chain tensioner (primary).

Remove dust and foreign material completely from backside of timing chain tensioner (primary) and
from installation area of rear timing chain case.
g. Remove stopper pin.
h. Make sure again that timing chain and water pump sprocket are engaged.
4. Install chain tensioner cover and water pump cover as follows:
a. Before installing, remove all traces of old liquid gasket from mat- ing surface of water pump cover and chain tensioner cover
using a scraper. Also remove traces of old liquid gasket from the
mating surface of front timing chain case.
