REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS
AA"TIE ROD END AND KNUCKLE DISCONNECTION
Caution
1. To prevent the ball joint thread from damage, the tie
rod end mounting nut must be only loosened but not
removed from the ball joint. Be sure to use the special
tool.
2. Support the special tool with a cord to prevent it from
coming off.
AB"FIXTURE/BUSHING/STABILIZER BAR REMOVAL
Carry out the following operations to ensure working space
in order to remove the fixture, the bushing and the stabilizer
bar.
1. Use a transmission jack to hold the crossmember, and
then remove the crossmember mounting nuts and bolts.
2. Lower the crossmember until the fixture, the bushing and
the stabilizer bar can be removed.
Caution
Be careful not to lower the crossmember excessively,
otherwise the power steering return hose bracket may
deform.

SymptomRemedy Probable causes
Noisy or disturbed waveformOpen circuit in sensorReplace sensor
Open circuit in harnessCorrect harness
Incorrectly mounted wheel speed sensorMount correctly
ABS rotor with missing or damaged teethReplace ABS rotor
Caution
Because the wheel speed sensor cables move together with the front and rear suspension, they
vibrate greatly when driving over poor road surfaces. As a result, the sensor harnesses should also
be shaken when monitoring of output waveforms of the wheel speed sensors in order to simulate
conditions such as driving over poor road surfaces.
HYDRAULIC UNIT CHECK
1. Jack up the vehicle and support the vehicle with rigid racks placed at the specified jack-up points
or place the wheels which are checked on the rollers of the braking force tester.
Caution
(1) The roller of the braking force tester and the tyre should be dry during testing.
(2) When testing the front brakes, apply the parking brake, and when testing the rear brakes,
stop the front wheels by chocking them.
2. Turn the ignition key to the “LOCK” (OFF) position and set the MUT-II.
Caution
Turn the ignition key to the “LOCK” (OFF) position before connecting or disconnecting the
MUT-II.
3. After checking that the shift lever is in neutral, start the engine.
4. Use the MUT-IIto force-drive the actuator.
NOTE
(1) During the actuator test, the ABS warning lamp will illuminate and the anti-skid control will be
cancelled.
(2) When the ABS has been interrupted by the fail-safe function, the MUT-IIactuator testing cannot
be carried out.
5. Turn the wheel by hand and check the change in braking force when the brake pedal is depressed.
When using the braking force tester, depress the brake pedal until the braking force is at the following
values, and check that the braking force decreases when the actuator is force-driven.
