BRAKE FLUID LEVEL SENSOR CHECK
The brake fluid level sensor is in good condition if there is
no continuity when the float surface is above “MIN” and if
there is continuity when the float surface is below “MIN”.
DISC BRAKE PAD CHECK AND REPLACEMENT
NOTE
The wear indicator contacts the brake disc when the brake
pad thickness reaches approximately 2 mm and emit a
squealing sound to warn the driver.
1. Check the brake pad thickness through the caliper body
check port.
Standard value: 10.0 mm
Limit: 2.0 mm
2. When the thickness is less than the limit, always replace
the pads at an axle set.
3. Remove the pin bolt. Pivot the caliper assembly and hold
it with wires.
Caution
Do not wipe off the special grease that is on the pin
or allow it to contaminate the pin.
4. Remove the following parts from the caliper support.
1. Pad and wear indicator assembly
2. Pad assembly
3. Clip
4. Outer shim
5. In order to measure the brake drag force after pad
installation, measure the rotary-sliding resistance of the
hub with the pads removed. (Refer to P.35A-21.)
6. Install the pads and caliper assembly, and then check
the brake drag force. (Refer to P.35A-21.)

ABS <4WD> -General Information35B-2
GENERAL INFORMATION
ABS has been adopted as optional equipment in
RS-IIto maintain directional stability and steering
performance during sudden braking or braking on
slippery road surfaces.
The ABS control method is a 4-sensor, 4-channel
method which provides independent control for all
wheels.
Following system for Lancer EVOLUTION-VII has
been modified from Lancer EVOLUTION-VI Tommi
Makinen Edition.DBy adding lateral G sensor, longitudinal G
sensor and steering wheel sensor, optimized
ABS control at the time of cornering.
DBy inputting parking brake switch signal to
ABS-ECU with pulling parking brake lever, ABS
control has been optimized.
DABS-ECU outputs ABS signal to 4WD-ECU.
DG sensor (lateral), steering wheel sensor and
parking brake switch have been added to the
diagnosis and service data.
DABS-ECU connector has been changed.
EBD CONTROL
In ABS, electronic control method is used by which
the rear wheel brake hydraulic pressure during
braking is regulated by rear wheel control solenoid
valves in accordance with the vehicle’s rate of
deceleration and the front and rear wheel slippage
which are calculated from the each wheel speed
sensor’s signal. EBD control is a control system
which provides a high level of control for both vehicle
braking force and vehicle stability. The system has
the following features:
DBecause the system provides the optimum rear
wheel braking force regardless of the vehicleladen condition and the condition of the road
surface, the system reduces the required pedal
depression force, particularly when the vehicle
is heavily laden or driving on road surfaces
with high frictional coefficients.
DBecause the duty placed on the front brakes
has been reduced, the increases in pad
temperature can be controlled to improve the
wear resistance characteristics of the pad,
during front brakes applying.
DControl valves such as the proportioning valve
are no longer required.

TROUBLESHOOTING
STANDARD FLOW OF DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLESHOOTING
Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points.
NOTES WITH REGARD TO DIAGNOSIS
1. The phenomena listed in the following table are not abnormal.
PhenomenonExplanation of phenomenon
System check soundWhen starting the engine, a thudding sound can sometimes be heard coming from inside
the engine compartment, but this is because the system operation check is being
performed, and is not an abnormality.
ABS operation sound1. Sound of the motor inside the ABS hydraulic unit operation. (whine)
2. Sound is the generated along with vibration of the brake pedal. (scraping)
3. When ABS operates, sound is generated from the vehicle chassis due to repeated
brake application and release.
(Thump: suspension; squeak: tyres)
System check soundWhen depressing the brake pedal during driving, a shock is sometime felt.
2. For road surfaces such as snow-covered roads and gravel roads, the braking distance for vehicles
with ABS can sometimes be longer than that for other vehicles. Accordingly, advise the customer
to drive safely on such roads by lowering the vehicle speed and not being too overconfident.
3. Diagnosis detection condition can vary depending on the diagnosis code.
Make sure that checking requirements listed in the “Comment” are satisfied when checking the trouble
symptom again.
