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.

PARKING BRAKES -On-Vehicle Service36-3
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
PARKING BRAKE LEVER STROKE CHECK
AND ADJUSTMENT
1. Pull the parking brake lever with a force of approx. 200
N and count the number of notches.
Standard value: 5 - 7 notches
2. If the parking brake lever stroke is not the standard value,
adjust as described below.
(1) Remove the floor console assembly. (Refer to
GROUP52A)
(2) Loosen the adjusting nut to move it to the cable rod
end so that the cable will be free.
(3) Depress the brake pedal repeatedly until the lever
has no change in its stroke.
NOTE
Depressing the brake pedal repeatedly adjusts shoe
clearance correctly.
(4) Turn the adjusting nut to adjust the parking brake lever
stroke to the standard value. After adjusting, check
that there is no space between the adjusting nut and
the parking brake lever. Check that the adjusting nut is
secured with the nut holder.
Caution
If the parking brake lever stroke is below the
standard value and the braking is too firm, the
rear brakes may drag.
(5) After adjusting the parking brake lever stroke, jack
up the rear end of the vehicle, and then release the
parking brake and turn the rear wheels to check that
the rear brakes are not dragging.
PARKING BRAKE SWITCH CHECK
1. Remove the floor console assembly. (Refer to
GROUP52A)
2. Remove the front seat assembly(RH). (Refer to
GROUP52A)
3. Check for continuity between the parking brake switch
terminal and the switch mounting bolt.

When parking brake lever is releasedNo continuity

STEERING -On-vehicle Service37A-9
POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL CHECK
1. Park the vehicle on a flat, level surface, start the engine,
and then turn the steering wheel several times to raise
the temperature of the fluid to approximately 50 - 60_C.
2. With the engine running, turn the wheel all the way to
the left and right several times.
3. Check the fluid in the oil reservoir for foaming or milkiness.
Check the difference of the fluid level when the engine
is stopped, and while it is running. If the change of the
fluid level is 5 mm or more, air bleeding should be done.
POWER STEERING FLUID REPLACEMENT
1. Raise the front wheels on a jack, and then support them
with rigid racks.
2. Disconnect the return hose connection.
3. Connect a vinyl hose to the return hose, and drain the
oil into a container.
4. Disconnect the ignition coil connectors. (Refer to
GROUP16 - Ignition System.)
5. While operating the starting motor intermittently, turn the
steering wheel all the way to the left and right several
times to drain all of the fluid.
6. Connect the return hoses securely, and then secure it
with the clip.
7. Fill the oil reservoir with specified fluid up to the lower
position of the filter, and then bleed air.
Specified fluid:
Automatic transmission fluid DEXRONII
Caution
Do not use ATF-SPIIM and ATF-SPIII.
POWER STEERING SYSTEM BLEEDING
1. Jack up the vehicle and support the front wheels with
rigid racks.
2. Disconnect the ignition coil connectors. (Refer to
GROUP16 - Ignition System.)
3. Cranking the engine with the starter several times
intermittently (during 15 to 20 seconds), turn the steering
wheel left and right fully five or six times.
Caution
(1) During the bleeding, refill the fluid so that the
level never falls below the lower position of the
filter.
(2) Be sure to bleed air only while cranking. If the
bleeding is done with the engine running, the air
will be broken up and absorbed into the fluid.
4. Connect the ignition coil connectors and idle the engine.
5. Turn the steering wheel left and right fully until no bubbles
comes out in the oil reservoir.
6. See that the fluid is not milky and that the fluid level
is up to the specified position on the level gauge.
7. See that the fluid level changes little when the steering
wheel is turned left and right.
8. Check difference in fluid levels between the engine
stopped and running.
Fluid level change: Within 5 mm

9. If the level changes more than 5 mm, the air is badly
bled. So, bleed air again.
Caution
(1) If the fluid level rises suddenly after the engine
is stopped, the bleeding is incomplete.
(2) Incomplete bleeding causes abnormal noises
from the pump and the flow-control valve. This
could lessen the life of the pump and the other
parts.
OIL PUMP PRESSURE TEST
1. Disconnect the pressure hose from the oil pump, and
then connect the special tools.
2. Bleed the air, and then turn the steering wheel several
times while the vehicle is not moving so that the
temperature of the fluid rises to approximately 50 - 60_C.
3. Start the engine and idle it at 1,000±100 r/min.
4. Fully close the shut-off valve of the pressure gauge and
measure the oil pump relief pressure to confirm that it
is within the standard value range.
Standard value: 8.4 - 9.0 MPa
5. If the standard value is not met, the oil pump is defective.
So, replace the oil pump. Then, measure oil pressure
again.
6. With the pressure gauge shut - off valve fully open, check
the hydraulic pressure in unladen condition.
Standard value: 0.2 - 0.8 MPa
7. If the standard value is not met, the oil line or steering
gear is probably defective. So, repair and measure oil
pressure again.
8. Turn the steering wheel fully either left or right and check
the retention hydraulic pressure.
Standard value: 8.4 - 9.0 MPa
9. If the pressure is below the standard value, disassemble
and reassemble the steering gear. If above, replace the
oil pump. Then, measure oil pressure again.
10. Remove the special tools, and tighten the pressure hose
to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 18±3 N·m
11. Bleed the system.
