1. CHECKING THE HYDRAULIC UNIT ABS
OPERATION BY PRESSURE GAUGE
1) Lift-up the vehicle and remove the wheel.
2) Remove the air bleeder screws from FL and FR
caliper bodies.
3) Connect two pressure gauges to FL and FR cal-
iper bodies.
CAUTION:
•Use a pressure gauge used exclusively for
brake fluid measurement.
•Do not use the pressure gauge used for the
measurement of transmission oil. Doing so will
cause the piston seal to expand and deform.
NOTE:
Wrap sealing tape around the pressure gauge.
4) Bleed air from the pressure gauges and the FL
and FR caliper bodies.
5) Perform ABS sequence control.

6) When the hydraulic unit begins to work, first the
FL side performs decompression, hold and com-
pression, and then the FR side performs decom-
pression, hold and compression.
7) Read values indicated on the pressure gauge
and check if the fluctuation of the values between
decompression and compression meets the stan-
dard values. Depress the brake pedal and check
that the kick-back is normal, and tightness is nor-
mal.
8) Disconnect the pressure gauges from FL and FR
caliper bodies.
9) Install the air bleeder screws of FL and FR cali-
per bodies.
10) Remove the air bleeder screws from RL and
RR caliper bodies.
11) Connect two pressure gauges to RL and RR
caliper bodies.

RR side performs decompression, hold and com-
pression, and then the RL side performs decom-
pression, hold and compression.
16) Read values indicated on the pressure gauge
and check if the fluctuation of the values between

2. CHECKING THE HYDRAULIC UNIT ABS
OPERATION WITH THE BRAKE TESTER
1) Set wheels other than the one to measure free
rollers.
2) Prepare for the ABS sequence control operation.

3) Set the front wheels or rear wheels on the brake
tester and set the select lever position to the “N”
range.
4) Operate the brake tester.
5) Perform ABS sequence control.

6) When the hydraulic unit begins to work, check
the following work sequence.
(1) The FL wheel performs decompression,
hold and compression in sequence, and subse-
quently the FR wheel repeats the cycle.
(2) The RR wheel performs decompression,
hold and compression in sequence, and subse-
quently the RL wheel repeats the cycle.
7) Read values indicated on the brake tester and
check if the fluctuation of the values between de-
compression and compression meets specifica-
tion.
8) After the inspection, depress the brake pedal
and check that it is not abnormally hard, and tight-
ness is normal.
3. CHECKING THE HYDRAULIC UNIT VDC
OPERATION USING A PRESSURE GAUGE
1) Lift-up the vehicle and remove the wheel.
2) Remove the air bleeder screws from FL and FR
caliper bodies.
3) Connect two pressure gauges to FL and FR cal-
iper bodies.
CAUTION:
•Use a pressure gauge used exclusively for
brake fluid measurement.
•Do not use a pressure gauge used for the
measuring transmission oil pressure, as the
piston seal may expand and deform.
NOTE:
Wrap sealing tape around the pressure gauge.
4) Bleed air from the pressure gauge.

Aluminum Wheel
WHEEL AND TIRE SYSTEM
3. Aluminum Wheel
A: REMOVAL
1) Apply the parking brake, and position select le-
ver to “P” or “LOW”.
2) Set the shop jacks or a lift to the specified points,
and support the vehicle with its wheels slightly con-
tacting the floor.
3) Loosen the wheel nuts.
4) Raise the vehicle until its wheels are off the
ground using the jack or a lift.
5) Remove the wheel nuts and wheels.
NOTE:
•When removing the wheels, be careful not to
damage the hub bolts.
•Place the wheels with their outer sides facing up-
ward to prevent wheels from being damaged.
B: INSTALLATION
1) Remove dirt from the mating surface of the
wheel and brake rotor.
2) Attach the wheel to the hub by aligning the wheel
bolt holes with the hub bolts.
3) Temporarily attach the wheel nuts to the hub
bolts. (In the case of aluminum wheels, use SUBA-
RU genuine wheel nuts for aluminum wheels.)
4) Tighten the nuts by hand, making sure the wheel
hub hole is aligned correctly to the guide portion of
hub.
5) Tighten the wheel nuts in a diagonal selection to
the specified torque. Use a wheel nut wrench.
Wheel nut tightening torque:
110 N·m (11.2 kgf-m, 81.1 ft-lb)
CAUTION:
•Tighten the wheel nuts in two or three steps
by gradually increasing the torque on opposing
nuts, until they reach the specified torque.
•Do not push the wrench by foot. Always use
both hands when tightening the nuts.
•Make sure the bolt, nut and the nut seating
surface of the wheel are free from oil.
6) If a wheel is removed for replacement or for re-
pair of a puncture, retighten the wheel nuts to the
specified torque after driving 1,000 km (600 miles).
C: INSPECTION
1) Deformation or damage to the rim may cause air
leakage. Check the rim flange for deformation,
cracks or damage, and repair or replace as neces-
sary.
2) Jack-up the vehicle until wheels clear the floor.
3) Slowly rotate the wheel to check rim “runout” us-
ing a dial gauge.
Rim runout:
4) If the rim runout exceeds specifications, remove
the tire from wheel and check runout while attach-
ing dial gauge to positions shown in the figure.
5) If the measured runout still exceeds specifica-
tions, replace the wheel.
D: CAUTION
Aluminum wheels are easily scratched. To main-
tain their appearance and safety, be careful of the
following:
1) Do not damage the aluminum wheels during re-
moval, installation, wheel balancing, etc. After re-
moving aluminum wheels, place them on a rubber
mat etc.
2) When washing the aluminum wheel, use neutral
synthetic detergent and water. Avoid using the
cleanser including abrasive, hard brushes or an au-
tomatic car washer.

C: INSPECTION
Replace the thermostat if the valve does not close
completely at an ambient temperature or if the fol-
lowing test shows unsatisfactory results.
•Inspection method
Immerse the thermostat and a thermometer in wa-
ter. Raise water temperature gradually, and mea-
sure the temperature and valve lift when the valve
begins to open and when the valve is fully opened.
During the test, agitate the water for even temper-
ature distribution. The measured value should
meet the specification.
Starting temperature to open:
80 — 84°C (176 — 183°F)
Fully opens:
95°C (203°F)
NOTE:
•Leave the thermostat in the boiling water for
more than five minutes before measuring the
valve lift.
•Hold the thermostat with a wire or the like to
avoid contacting with container bottom.
