BASIC BRAKE SYSTEM – On-vehicle Service35A-3
If the free play exceeds the standard value, it is probably
due to excessive play between the retaining ring bolt
and brake pedal arm.
Check for excessive clearance and replace faulty parts
as required.
4. Start the engine, depress the brake pedal with
approximately 490 N of force, and measure the clearance
between the brake pedal and the floorboard.
Standard value: 80 mm or more
If the clearance is outside the standard value, check for
air trapped in the brake line, clearance between the lining
and the drum and dragging in the parking brake.
Adjust and replace defective parts as required.
5. Turn back the carpet, etc.

Code No. 53: Motor relay systemProbable cause
This code is output under any of the following conditions:

No signals are input to the motor monitor when the motor relay is ON (motor
does not run, etc.).

A signal is being input to the motor monitor for 3 sec. or more when the motor
relay is OFF (motor continues running, etc.).

The motor relay is inoperative.
Defective motor relay

Defective harness or connector

Defective hydraulic unit

Defective ABS-ECU
Caution
(1) If the motor relay contacts fuse, the motor continues running even when the ignition switch
is turned OFF. In this case, immediately remove fusible link No. 8 (60 A) or disconnect the
A-22 connector or A-77 motor relay connector of the hydraulic unit. Overloading the motor
results in a rundown battery.

cedure No.Reference page
When the ignition key is turned to “ON” (engine stopped), the ABS warning lamp
does not illuminate.135B-12
Even after the engine is started, the ABS warning lamp remains illuminated.235B-13
After the ignition key is turned to “ON”, the ABS warning lamp blinks twice, and
when turned to “START”, it illuminates. When returned to “ON”, the lamp
flashes once, and then switches off.335B-13
When the ignition key is turned to “START”, the ABS warning lamp does not
illuminate.435B-14
Brake operation is abnormal535B-14
Caution
(1) If steering movements are made when driving at high speed, or when driving on road surfaces
with low frictional resistance, or when passing over bumps, the ABS may operate even though
sudden braking is not being applied. Because of this, when getting information from the customer,
check if the problem occurred while driving under such conditions as these.
(2) During ABS operation, the brake pedal may vibrate or may not be able to be depressed. Such
phenomena are due to intermittent changes in hydraulic pressure inside the brake line to prevent
the wheels from locking and is not an abnormality.

ABS – Troubleshooting35B-12
4. INSPECTION PROCEDURE FOR TROUBLE SYMPTOMS
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 1
When the ignition key is turned to “ON” (engine stopped),
the ABS warning lamp does not illuminate.
Probable cause
The ABS-ECU turns the valve relay ON → OFF → ON for initial checking when
it is powered ON. Accordingly, the ABS warning lamp illuminates twice even if the
circuit between the ABS warning lamp and ABS-ECU is faulty.
The cause may be an open circuit in the lamp power supply circuit, a blown lamp,
an open circuit between the ABS warning lamp and ABS-ECU or between the ABS
warning lamp and the valve relay.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE 2
Even after the engine is started, the ABS warning lamp
remains illuminated.
Probable cause
The cause is probably a short-circuit in the ABS warning lamp illumination circuit.
Malfunction of combination meter

Malfunction of ABS-ECU

Malfunction of wiring harness (short circuit)
NOTE
This trouble symptom is limited to cases where ABS-ECU power supply is normal and the diagnosis
code is a normal diagnosis code.
NO
Check the harness wire, and repair if necessary.

Does the ABS warning lamp go off?YESReplace the ABS-ECU.
Does the ABS warning lamp stay illuminated when the connector
B-52 is disconnected and the ignition switch is turned to ON?YESReplace the combination meter.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 3
After the ignition key is turned to “ON”, the ABS warning
lamp blinks once, and when turned to “START”, it
illuminates. When returned to “ON”, the lamp flashes
once, and then switches off.
Probable cause
The ABS-ECU causes the ABS warning lamp to illuminate during the initial check.
During the initial check, the valve relay turns from off to on, off and back to on again.
If there is an open circuit in the harness between the ABS-ECU and the ABS warning
lamp, the lamp will illuminate only when the valve relay is OFF during valve relay
test, etc.
