nect ABS actuator connectors or battery ground cable.
+ Bleed air in the following order.
1. LSV air bleeder
2. Left rear brake
3. Right rear brake
4. Left front brake
5. Right front brake
1. Connect a transparent vinyl tube to air bleeder valve.
2. Fully depress brake pedal several times.
3. With brake pedal depressed, open air bleeder valve to release air.

and pulling.
1. Connect vinyl tube to air bleeder valve.
2. Drain brake ¯uid from each air bleeder valve by depressing brake pedal.
3. Remove ¯are nut connecting brake tube and hose, then with- draw lock spring.
4. Cover openings to prevent entrance of dirt whenever discon- necting brake line.
INSPECTION
Check brake lines (tubes and hoses) for cracks, deterioration or
other damage. Replace any damaged parts.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
+Re®ll with new brake ¯uid ``DOT 3''.
+ Never reuse drained brake ¯uid.
1. Tighten all ¯are nuts and connecting bolts. Flare nut:

Connecting bolt:
:17-19N zm (1.7 - 1.9 kg-m, 12 - 14 ft-lb)
2. Re®ll until new brake ¯uid comes out of each air bleeder valve.
3. Bleed air. Refer to ``Bleeding Brake System'', BR-4.
Load Sensing Valve
INSPECTION
CAUTION:
+ Carefully monitor brake ¯uid level at master cylinder.
+ Use new brake ¯uid ``DOT 3''.
+ Be careful not to splash brake ¯uid on painted areas; it
may cause paint damage. If brake ¯uid is splashed on paint
areas, wash it away with water immediately.
+ Depress pedal slowly when raising front brake pressure.
+ Check rear brake pressure 2 seconds after front brake
pressure reaches speci®ed value.
+ For models with ABS disconnect harness connectors from
ABS actuator relay before checking.

Disassembly
1. Bend claws of stopper cap outward.
2. Remove piston stopper while piston is pushed into cylinder(Models with ABS only).
3. Remove piston assemblies.
If it is difficult to remove secondary piston assembly, gradually
apply compressed air through ¯uid outlet.
4. Draw out reservoir tank.
Inspection
Check master cylinder inner wall for pin holes or scratches.
Replace if damaged.
Assembly
1. Insert secondary piston assembly. Then insert primary piston assembly.
+ Pay attention to direction of piston cups in ®gure at left.
Also, insert pistons squarely to avoid scratches on cylin-
der bore.
+ Pay attention to alignment of secondary piston slit with
valve stopper mounting hole of cylinder body (Models with
ABS only).
2. Install stopper cap.
Before installing stopper cap, ensure that claws are bent
inward.
3. Push reservoir tank seals into cylinder body.
4. Push reservoir tank into cylinder body.

5. Install valve stopper while piston is pushed into cylinder (Modelwith ABS only).
Installation
CAUTION:
+Re®ll with new brake ¯uid ``DOT 3''.
+ Never reuse drained brake ¯uid.
1. Place master cylinder onto brake booster and secure mounting nuts lightly.
2. Torque mounting nuts.
:12-15N zm (1.2 - 1.5 kg-m ,9-11ft-lb)
3. Fill up reservoir tank with new brake ¯uid.
4. Plug all ports on master cylinder with ®ngers to prevent air suction while releasing brake pedal.
5. Have driver depress brake pedal slowly several times until no air comes out of master cylinder.
6. Fit brake lines to master cylinder.
7. Tighten ¯are nuts.
:15-17N zm (1.5 - 1.7 kg-m, 11 - 12 ft-lb)
8. Bleed air. Refer to ``Bleeding Brake System'', BR-4.

Purpose
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) consists of electronic and hydraulic components. It allows for control of
braking force so locking of the wheels can be avoided.
The ABS:
1) Improves proper tracking performance through steering wheel operation.
2) Eases obstacle avoidance through steering wheel operation.
3) Improves vehicle stability.
Operation
+When the vehicle speed is less than 10 km/h (6 MPH) this system does not work.
+ The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) has a self-test function. The system turns on the ABS warning lamp
for 1 second each time the ignition switch is turned ``ON''. After the engine is started, the ABS warning
lamp turns off. The system performs a test the ®rst time the vehicle reaches 6 km/h (4 MPH). A mechani-
cal noise may be heard as the ABS performs this self-test. This is a normal part of the self-test feature. If
a malfunction is found during this check, the ABS warning lamp will stay on.
+ While driving, a mechanical noise may be heard during ABS operation. This is a normal condition.
+ While DIFF-LOCK is on, the anti-lock brake warning light ¯ashes. This indicates that anti-lock may not be
fully operated. (ABS only)

System Components
System Description
WHEEL SENSOR
The sensor unit consists of a gear-shaped sensor rotor and a sen-
sor element. The element contains a bar magnet around which a
coil is wound. The sensor is installed on the back of the brake rotor.
As the wheel rotates, the sensor generates a sine-wave pattern.
The frequency and voltage increase(s) as the rotating speed
increases.
CONTROL UNIT (built in ABS actuator and electric unit)
The control unit computes the wheel rotating speed by the signal
current sent from the sensor. Then it supplies a DC current to the
actuator solenoid valve. It also controls ON-OFF operation of the
valve relay and motor relay. If any electrical malfunction should be
detected in the system, the control unit causes the warning lamp
to light up. In this condition, the ABS will be deactivated by the
control unit, and the vehicle's brake system reverts to normal
operation. (For control unit layout, refer to ABS ACTUATOR AND
ELECTRIC UNIT, BR-34.)

G SENSOR
The G sensor senses deceleration during braking to determine whether the vehicle is being driven on a high
 road (asphalt road, etc.) or a low  road (snow-covered road, etc.). It then sends a signal to the ABS con-
trol unit.
The reed switch turns on when it is affected by a magnetic ®eld. During sudden deceleration (braking on a
high  road), the weight moves and the magnet in the weight moves away from the reed switch. The mag-
netic ®eld then diminishes and the reed switch turns off.
ABS ACTUATOR AND ELECTRIC UNIT
The ABS actuator and electric unit contains:
+An electric motor and pump
+ Two relays
+ Six solenoid valves, each inlet and outlet for
Ð LH front
Ð RH front
Ð Rear
+ ABS control unit
This component controls the hydraulic circuit and increases, holds
or decreases hydraulic pressure to all or individual wheels. The
ABS actuator and electric unit are not disassemble.
