UNIT ABS OPERATION
1. CHECKING THE HYDRAULIC UNIT ABS
OPERATION BY PRESSURE GAUGE
1) Lift-up vehicle and remove wheels.
2) Disconnect the air bleeder screws from the FL
and FR caliper bodies.
3) Connect two pressure gauges to the FL and FR
caliper bodies.
CAUTION:
IPressure gauges used exclusively for brake
fluid must be used.
IDo not employ pressure gauge previously
used for transmission since the piston seal is
expanded which may lead to malfunction of the
brake.
NOTE:
Wrap sealing tape around the pressure gauge.

4) Bleed air from the pressure gauges.
5) Perform ABS sequence control.
<Ref. to 4-4 [W15D0].>
6) When the hydraulic unit begins to work, and
first the FL side performs decompression, holding,
and compression, and then the FR side performs
decompression, holding, and compression.
7) Read values indicated on the pressure gauge
and check if the fluctuation of the values between
decompression and compression meets the stan-
dard values. Also check if any irregular brake pedal
tightness is felt.

<Ref. to 4-4 [W15D0].>
14) When the hydraulic unit begins to work, at first
the RR side performs decompression, holding, and
compression, and then the RL side performs
decompression, holding, and compression.
15) Read values indicated on the pressure
gauges and check if they meet the standard value.
16) After checking, remove the pressure gauges
from caliper bodies.
17) Connect the air bleeder screws to RL and RR
caliper bodies.

2. CHECKING THE HYDRAULIC UNIT ABS
OPERATION WITH BRAKE TESTER
1) In the case of AWD AT vehicles, install a spare
fuse with the FWD connector in the engine com-
partment to simulate FWD vehicles.

2) Prepare for operating ABS sequence control.
<Ref. to 4-4 [W15D0].>
3) Set the front wheels or rear wheels on the brake
tester and set the select lever's position at ªneu-
tralº.

4) Operate the brake tester.5) Perform ABS sequence control. <Ref. to 4-4
[W15D0].>
6) Hydraulic unit begins to work; and check the
following working sequence.
(1) The FL wheel performs decompression,
holding, and compression in sequence, and
subsequently the FR wheel repeats the cycle.
(2) The RR wheel performs decompression,
holding, and compression in sequence, and
subsequently the RL wheel repeats the cycle.
7) Read values indicated on the brake tester and
check if the fluctuation of values, when decom-
pressed and compressed, meet the standard val-
ues.

D: ABS SEQUENCE CONTROL
1) Under the ABS sequence control, after the
hydraulic unit solenoid valve is driven, the opera-
tion of the hydraulic unit can be checked by means
of the brake tester or pressure gauge.
2) ABS sequence control can be started by diag-
nosis connector or select monitor.
