REMOVAL
CAUTION:
• Before servicing, turn the ignition switch OFF, disconnect both battery terminals and wait at least
three minutes.
• Do not use air tools or electric tools for servicing.
1. Disconnect both the negative and positive battery terminal s, then wait at least three minutes. Refer to PG-
73, "Removal and Installation (Battery)".
2. Remove the steering column covers. Refer to IP-17, "Removal and Installation"
.
3. Rotate steering wheel clockwise to access first combination switch bolt and remove.
4. Rotate steering wheel counter-clockwise to access second combination switch bolt and remove.
5. Disconnect the harness connector from the combination switch and remove.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
• After the work is completed, make sure no system malfunction is detected by air bag warning lamp.
• In case a malfunction is detected by the air bag wa rning lamp, reset with the self-diagnosis function
and delete the memory with CONSULT.
• If a malfunction is still detected after the above operation, perform self-diagnosis to repair malfunc-
tions. Refer to SRC-42, "ADDITIONAL SERVICE WHEN RE PLACING CONTROL UNIT : Special Repair
Requirement".

Check brake pad thickness from an inspection hole on caliper body.
Check using a scale if necessary.
DISC ROTOR
DISC ROTOR : InspectionINFOID:0000000009463688
APPEARANCE
Check surface of disc rotor for uneven wear, cracks or damage. Replace if any abnormal conditions exist.
RUNOUT
1. Check the wheel bearing axial end play before the inspection. Refer to FAX-6, "Inspection".
2. Secure the disc rotor to the wheel hub and bearing assembly with wheel nuts at two wheel nut locations.
3. Inspect the runout with a dial gauge, measured at 10 mm (0.39 in) inside the disc edge.
4. Find the installation position with a minimum runout by shifting the disc rotor-to-wheel hub and bearing assembly installation
position by one hole at a time if the runout exceeds the limit
value.
5. Refinish the disc rotor if the runout is outside the limit even after performing the above operation. When refinishing, use Tool.
THICKNESS
Check the thickness of the disc rotor using a micrometer. Replace
the disc rotor if the thick ness is below the wear limit.
Wear limit thickness : Refer to
BR-49, "Front Disc
Brake".

CAUTION:
• All hoses and piping (tubes) must be fr ee from excessive bending, twisting and pulling.
• Make sure there is no interference with other pa rts when turning steering both clockwise and coun-
terclockwise.
• The brake piping is an important safety part. If a brake fluid leak is detected, always disassemble the
parts. Replace applicable part with a new one, if necessary.
• Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is
splashed on painted areas, wash it away with water immediately.
• Do not bend or twist brake hose sharply, or strongly pull it.
• Do not reuse drained brake fluid.
• After installation of the ABS actuator and electri c unit (control unit), refill brake system with new
brake fluid. Then bleed the ai r from the system. Refer to BR-14, "Bleeding Brake System"
.
