Generator Test (Overcharged Battery Check)S7RS0B1A04004
1) To determine battery condition, refer to “Battery Description”.
2) If obvious overcharge condition exists as evidenced  by excessive spewing of electrolyte, measure 
generator “B” terminal voltage at engine 2000 rpm. 3) If measured voltage is higher than upper limit value, 
proceed to disassemble generator.
4) Check ground of brushes. If brushes are not  grounded, replace IC regulator. Then check field coil 
for grounds and shorts, referring to “Generator 
Inspection”.

Jump Starting in Case of EmergencyS7RS0B1A06001
CAUTION! 
If vehicle is manual transaxle model and has 
a catalytic converter, do not push or tow it to 
start. Damage to its emission system and/or 
to other parts may result.
 
Both booster and discharged battery should be treated 
carefully when using ju mper cables. Follow the 
procedure outlined as follows, being careful not to cause 
sparks.
WARNING! 
• Departure from these conditions or  procedure described as follows could 
result in:
– Serious personal injury (particularly to eyes) or property damage from such 
causes as battery explosion, battery 
acid, or electrical burns.
– Damage to electronic components of  either vehicle.
• Remove rings, watches, and other jewelry.  Wear approved eye protection.
• Be careful so that metal tools or jumper  cables do not contact positive battery 
terminal (or metal in contact with it) and 
any other metal on vehicle, because a 
short circuit could occur. • Never expose battery to open flame or 
electric spark. Batteries generate gas 
which is flammable and explosive.
• Do not allow battery fluid to contact eyes,  skin, fabrics, or painted surface as fluid is 
a corrosive acid. Flush any contacted area 
with water immediately and thoroughly.
• Batteries should always be kept out of  reach of children.
• Do not connect negative cable directly to  negative terminal of dead battery.
 
1) Set parking brake and place automatic transaxle in  PARK (NEUTRAL on manual transaxle). Turn off 
ignition, turn off lights and all other electrical loads.
2) Check electrolyte level. If it is below low level line,  add distilled water.
3) Attach end of one jumper cable to positive terminal  of booster battery and the other end of the same 
cable to positive terminal of discharged battery. (Use 
12-volt battery only to jump start engine).
4) Attach one end of the remaining negative cable to  negative terminal of booster battery, and the other 
end to a solid engine ground (such as exhaust 
manifold) at least 45 cm (18 in.) away from battery of 
vehicle being started.
5) Start engine of vehicle with booster battery and turn  off electrical accessories. Then start engine of the 
vehicle with discharged battery.

Diagnostic Information and Procedures
Brakes Diagnosis NoteS7RS0B4104001
Road Testing Brakes
Brakes should be tested on dry, clean, smooth and 
reasonably level roadway which is not crowned. Road 
test brakes by making brake applications with both light 
and heavy pedal forces at vari ous speeds to determine if 
the vehicle stops evenly and effectively. Also drive 
vehicle to see if it leads to one side or the other without 
brake application. If it does,  check the tire pressure, front 
wheel alignment and front suspension attachments for 
looseness. See diagnosis  table for other causes. Brake Fluid Leaks
Check the master cylinder fl
uid levels. While a slight 
drop in reservoir level does  result from normal lining 
wear, an abnormally low leve l indicates a leak in the 
system. In such a case, chec k the entire brake system 
for leakage. If even a slight ev idence of leakage is noted, 
the cause should be corrected or defective parts should 
be replaced.
Substandard or Contaminated Brake Fluid
Improper brake fluid, mineral oil or water in the fluid may 
cause the brake fluid to boil or the rubber components in 
the hydraulic system to deteriorate.

Excessive Pedal Travel InspectionS7RS0B4106003
1) Start engine.
2) Depress brake pedal a few times.
3) With brake pedal depressed with approximately 300 N (30 kg, 66 lbs) load, measure brake pedal to wall 
(dash panel silencer) clearance “a”. If clearance “a” 
is less than specification, the most possible cause is 
air in lines. Should clearance “a” remain less than 
specification even after bleeding of system, other 
possible infrequent cause is booster push rod length 
out of adjustment.
• Bleed brake system. Refer to “Air Bleeding of Brake System”.
Brake arm pedal to wall clearance “a”
When pedal depressed at 300 N (30 kg, 66 lbs): 
over 75 mm (2.95 in.)
Brake Fluid Level InspectionS7RS0B4106004
1) Check master cylinder, reservoir and reservoir hose  (if equipped) for crack, damage and brake fluid 
leakage. If any faulty condition exists, correct or 
replace.
2) Check that brake fluid level is between MAX and  MIN marks on reservoir.
NOTE
Be sure to use particular brake fluid either as 
indicated on reservoir cap of that vehicle or 
recommended in owner’s manual which 
comes along with that vehicle. Use of any 
other fluid is strictly prohibited.
Fluid level should be between MIN and MAX 
lines marked on reservoir.
When brake warning lamp lights sometimes 
during driving, replenis h fluid to MAX level.
When fluid decreases quickly, inspect brake 
system for leakage. Correct leaky points and 
then refill to specified level.
 
CAUTION! 
Do not use shock absorber fluid or any other 
fluid which contains mineral oil. Do not use a 
container which has been used for mineral oil 
or a container which is wet from water. 
Mineral oil will cause swelling and distortion 
of rubber parts in hydraulic brake system and 
water mixed into brake fluid will lower fluid 
boiling point. Keep all fluid containers 
capped to prevent contamination.
 
Stop Light Switch AdjustmentS7RS0B4106005
Adjustment should be made as follows. Pull up brake 
pedal toward you and while holding it there, adjust 
switch position so that clea rance between end of thread 
and brake pedal is as specified. Then lock it by turning 
clockwise.
Clearance between brake pedal and stop light switch
“a”: 1.2 – 2.2 mm (0.05 – 0.08 in.)

7) Then attach bleeder plug cap.
8) After completing bleeding operation, apply fluid pressure to pipe line and check for leakage.
9) Replenish fluid into reserv oir up to specified level.
10) Check brake pedal for sponginess. If found spongy,  repeat entire procedure of bleeding.

ABS Warning Light Does Not Come ON at Ignition Switch ONS7RS0B4504008
Wiring Diagram
Circuit Description
Operation (ON/OFF) of ABS warning light is controlled by ABS contro l module through lamp driver module in 
combination meter.
If the antilock brake system is  in good condition, ABS control  module turns ABS warning light ON at the ignition switch 
ON, keeps it ON for 2 seconds  and then turns it OFF. If an abnormality in the system is detected, ABS warning light is 
turned ON continuously by ABS  control module. Also, it is turned ON continuously by la mp driver module when the 
connector of ABS control module is disconnected.

EBD Warning Light (Brake Warning Light) Comes ON SteadyS7RS0B4504010
Wiring Diagram
Refer to “ABS Warning Light Does Not Come ON at Ignition Switch ON”.
Circuit Description
EBD warning light (brake warn ing light) is controlled by parking brake switch, brake fluid level switch and ABS 
hydraulic unit / control module assembly throug h lamp driver module in combination meter.
EBD warning light turns ON when parki ng brake switch is ON and/or brake fluid level is lower than minimum level.
The information of parking brake switch and brake fluid leve l are transmitted from BCM to lamp driver module in 
combination meter through CAN communication line.
Troubleshooting 5 1) Turn ignition switch to OFF and measure resistance 
between each terminal of “E03-13”, “E03-26” and vehicle 
body ground.
Is resistance less than 2 
Ω? Go to Step 6. Ground circuit for ABS 
hydraulic unit / control 
module open or high 
resistance.
6 Check CAN communication circuit between combination  meter and ABS control module referring to “DTC U1073: 
Control Module Communication Bus Off”.
Is CAN communication circuit in good condition? Substitute a known-
good combination meter 
and recheck. If ABS 
warning light remains 
ON, substitute a known-
good ABS hydraulic unit 
/ control module 
assembly and recheck.Repair or replace.
