SPEED SENSOR (IN METER)
1. Jack up the front of the vehicle.
2. Connect a voltmeter between 2A (GR) terminal of
the control unit connector and a body ground.
3. Start the engine. Check that periodic voltage is de-
tected when turning'the front wheels slowly.

BRAKE HYDRAULIC LINE 1 1
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF BRAKE
LINES
1. Loosen or tighten the flare nut with the SST.
Flare nut tightening torque: 13—22 N-m
(1.3—2.2 m-kg, 9—16 ft-lb)
2. When connecting the flexible hose, do not over-
tighten or twist it.
3. After installation:
(1) Check that the hose does not contact other
parts when the vehicle bounces or when the
steering wheel is turned all the way to the right
or left.
(2) Bleed the air from the brake system. (Refer to
page 11—9.)
REPLACEMENT OF BRAKE FLUID
1. Remove the brake fluid from the reservoir with a
suction pump.
2. Fill the reservoir with new, specified brake fluid.
3. Pump out the old brake fluid by loosening the
bleeder screws (one by one) and pumping the
brake pedal. (Refer to page 11—10 for details.)

INSPECTION OF CHECK VALVE
Note (MTX)
The check valve is pressed into the vacuum
hose. There is an arrow on the hose surface
to indicate direction of installation.
Inspection
1. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the engine.
2. Apply suction and pressure to the hose from the
engine side. Check that air flows only toward the
engine.
If the air passes in both directions or not at all, re-
place the check valve (along with the hose).
REMOVAL
Remove in the sequence shown in the figure, referring to removal note for specially marked parts.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) 1 1
TROUBLESHOOTING
Precaution
Conditions that are not malfunctions
1. It may happen that vibration is felt in the steering wheel, body, and/or brake pedal when the ABS
is functioning; such vibration is simply an indication that the system is functioning.
2. Sound of the pump motor operating, accumulator pressure being released, or the relay operating
may be heard from the engine compartment when the engine is started as the system is being auto-
matically checked.
3. The ABS pump motor may be automatically activated even though the ABS is not operating.
4. The ABS warning light may illuminate under any of the following conditions:
• When the vehicle is traveling on snow or ice with the parking brake activated or a brake dragging
at one wheel.
• When different-sized tires are used.
• When tires of different gripping performance are used.
• When (while the vehicle is jacked up or stuck) only the front wheels are spun for 20 seconds or more.
• When there is insufficient battery voltage.
Note
Under the above conditions, the warning light will not illuminate a second time when the
ignition is switched OFF then back ON, and there will be no memory entry to the control
unit of a problem.
Troubleshooting notes
The ABS is composed of electrical components, mechanical components (hydraulic unit), and the com-
ponents of the standard brake system.
Fundamentally, malfunction of the ABS electrical or mechanical components is judged by the self-
diagnosis function within the ABS control unit. And malfunctions are indicated by the warning light
in the instrument panel.
The location
of
a malfunction is indicated by the technician switching the system to the diagnosis-indication
mode.
The self-diagnosis and indication functions must be used when malfunctions of the ABS are being
diagnosed.

ABS WARNING LIGHT
Inspection for No Illumination
1. Check that other warning lights illuminate. If not,
check the METER 10A fuse for burning out.
2. Turn the ignition switch ON.
3. Ground the LY terminal
of
the check connector with
a jumper wire.
4. Check that the ABS warning light illuminates.
If not illuminated, check the bulb and harness (bat-
tery -» check connector).
5. Check for 12V at F (LY) terminal of the control unit
connector.
If the voltage is not as specified, check the harness
(bulb control unit).
If the voltage is as specified, replace the relay box
and the control unit.
RELAY BOX
Inspection of Fail-safe Relay
1. Check for continuity of the relay with an ohmmeter.
Replace the relay box if necessary.

WHEEL SPEED SENSOR
Inspection
1. Measure the resistance of the sensor with an
ohmmeter.
Resistance: 800—1,200 0
2. If the resistance is not within specification, replace
the sensor.
3. Check that the harness is not twisted and does not
contact other objects when turning the steering
wheel is turned fully.
