Removal and InstallationINFOID:0000000001327700
REMOVAL
1. Disconnect ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector.
2. Loosen brake tube flare nuts, then remove brake tubes
from ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).
3. Remove LH side fender protector. Refer to EI-24
.
4. Remove ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) mounting nuts.
5. Remove ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) from vehicle.
CAUTION:
Be careful of the following wh en removing ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).
 If the part number on the part number label (p asted on actuator upper surface) is the same, ABS
actuator and electric unit (c ontrol unit) can not be used on another vehicle.
If it is used on another vehicle, ABS warning lamp, SLIP indicator lamp and VDC OFF indicator lamp
may turn ON or VDC/TCS/ABS may not operate normally.
When replacing ABS actuator an d electric unit (control unit), must use new service parts.
 Before servicing, disconnect battery cables.
 To remove brake tube, use a flare nut torque wrench to prevent flare nuts and brake tube from being
damaged. To install, use a flare nut torque wren ch (commercial service tool) and tighten to the spec-
ified torque.
 Do not apply excessive impact to actuator, such as dropping it.
 Do not remove and install ABS actuator and el ectric unit (control unit) by holding harness.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Be careful of the following wh en 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-8, "
Bleeding Brake System".
 After installing vehicle harness connector in th e actuator, make sure connector is securely locked.
 When replacing ABS actuator and el ectric unit (control unit), calibrate steering angle sensor neutral
position and decel G sensor. Refer to BRC-8
.
