INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
1. Check the brake hoses and tubes for the following: no scratches; no twist and deformation; no interfer-
ence with other components when steering the steering wheel; no looseness at connections.
2. Depress the brake pedal with a force of 785 N (80 kg, 176 lb) and hold down the pedal for approx. 5 sec- onds with the engine running. Check for any fluid leakage.

(control unit).
Inspection and AdjustmentINFOID:0000000006222486
ADJUSTMENT BEFORE INSTALLATION
Input Rod Length adjustment
1. Loosen the lock nut (1) and adjust the input rod (2) to the speci-
fied length (A).
2. Tighten the lock nut to the specified torque.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Operation Check
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Depress the brake pedal 20 times or more. NOTE:
The pressure loss in the accumulator results in a large brake pedal stroke. In addition to this, the brake
pedal depression becomes lighter in initial stage.
3. Check that the fluid level in the reservoir tank is MAX line.
4. Position the selector lever in P range to release the parking brake.
5. Turn the ignition switch ON to check the time between motor activation and motor stop.
6. After the motor is stopped, check that the ABS warn ing lamp and the VDC warning lamp in the combina-
tion meter are OFF when the engine is started.
7. Stop the engine (ignition switch OFF).
8. Turn the ignition switch ON and depress the brake pedal 4 to 5 times to check the time between motor activation and motor stop.
9. Turn the ignition switch OFF. Turn the ignition swit ch ON again. Check that the VDC warning lamp turns
ON when the brake pedal is depressed 15 to 20 times.
10. Check that the VDC warning lamp turns ON when the brake pedal is depressed 15 to 20 times after the lapse of 120 seconds or more after the ignition switch is turned ON again.
11. Perform the self-diagnosis for “ABS” with CONSULT- III and erase all the stored self-diagnosis results.
Function Check
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Depress the brake pedal 20 times or more.
NOTE:
The pressure loss in the accumulator results in a large brake pedal stroke. In addition to this, the brake
pedal depression becomes lighter in initial stage.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON with the brake pedal depr essed to check that the clearance between the brake
pedal and the dash lower panel decreases. A : Refer to
BR-47, "
Brake Booster".
