2. Drive vehicle and check brake operation.
NOTE:
• Stopping distance may be longer than vehicles without ABS when road condition is slippery.
• Driving the vehicle with the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) disconnected may induce DTCs
in electrical control units using CAN communication. After the inspection, clear all DTCs. Refer to LAN-
7.

Adjustment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral PositionINFOID:0000000003532809
After removing/installing or replacing ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit), steering angle sensor, steer-
ing and suspension components which affect wheel alignment or after adjusting wheel alignment, be sure to
adjust neutral position of steering angle sensor before running vehicle.

REMOVAL
1. Remove wheel sensor bolt.
• When removing the front wheel sensor, first remove the disc rotor to gain access to the front wheel sen-
sor bolt. Refer to BR-19, "
Removal and Installation of Brake Caliper and Disc Rotor" .
• When removing the rear wheel sensor, first remove the rear hub and bearing assembly to gain access to
the rear wheel sensor bolt. Refer to FA X - 5 , "
Removal and Installation" .
2. Pull out the sensor, being careful to turn it as little as possible.
CAUTION:
• Do not pull on the sensor harness.
3. Disconnect wheel sensor harness electrical connector, then remove harness from attaching points.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal. Tighten wheel sensor bolt to specification.
CAUTION:
Installation should be performed while paying attention to the following.
• Inspect wheel sensor O-ring, replace sensor assembly if damaged.
• Before installing wheel sensor, make sure no foreign materials (such as iron fragments) are adhered
to the pick-up part of the sensor, to the inside of the sensor hole or on the rotor mating surface.
• Apply a coat of suitable grease to the wheel sensor O-ring and hole. Refer to MA-10

*1: This sensor is not used to control the engine system. This is used only for the on board diagnosis.
*2: This signal is sent to the ECM through CAN communication line.
*3: ECM determines the start signal status by the signals of engine speed and battery voltage.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The amount of fuel injected from the fuel injector is determined by the ECM. The ECM controls the length of
time the valve remains open (injection pulse duration). The amount of fuel injected is a program value in the
ECM memory. The program value is preset by engine operating conditions. These conditions are determined
by input signals (for engine speed and intake air) from both the crankshaft position sensor and the mass air
flow sensor.
VARIOUS FUEL INJECTION INCREASE/DECREASE COMPENSATION
In addition, the amount of fuel injected is compensated to improve engine performance under various operat-
ing conditions as listed below.
• When starting the engine
• During acceleration
• Hot-engine operation
• When selector lever is changed from N to D
• High-load, high-speed operation
• During deceleration
• During high engine speed operation

This system is used when the engine is being started and/or if the fail-safe system (CPU) is operating.
FUEL SHUT-OFF
Fuel to each cylinder is cut off during deceleration, operation of the engine at excessively high speeds or oper-
ation of the vehicle at excessively high speed.

*1: This signal is sent to the ECM through CAN communication line.
*2: ECM determines the start signal status by the signals of engine speed and battery voltage.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Firing order: 1 - 8 - 7 - 3 - 6 - 5 - 4 -2
The ignition timing is controlled by the ECM to maintain the best air-fuel ratio for every running condition of the
engine. The ignition timing data is stored in the ECM.
The ECM receives information such as the injection pulse width and camshaft position sensor signal. Comput-
ing this information, ignition signals are transmitted to the power transistor.
During the following conditions, the ignition timing is revised by the ECM according to the other data stored in
the ECM.
• At starting
• During warm-up
•At idle
• At low battery voltage
• During acceleration
The knock sensor retard system is designed only for emergencies. The basic ignition timing is programmed
within the anti-knocking zone, if recommended fuel is used under dry conditions. The retard system does not
operate under normal driving conditions. If engine knocking occurs, the knock sensor monitors the condition.
The signal is transmitted to the ECM. The ECM retards the ignition timing to eliminate the knocking condition.
