Steering Gearbox Installation (cont'dl
Install the motor on the steering gearbox (see page
17-49).
lnstall the steering joint (A). and reconnect the
steering shaft (B) and pinion shaft (C). Make sure
the steering joint is connected as follows:
. Insertthe upperend of thesteering jointontothe
steering shaft (line up the bolt hole (D) with the
flat portion (E) on the shaft).. Slip the lower end of the steering joint onto thepinion shaft (line up the bolt hole with the groove
(F) around the shaft), and loosely installthe lowerjoint bolt. Be sure that the lower joint bolt is
securely in the groove in the pinion shaft.. Pull on the steering joint to make sure that the
steering joint is fully seated. Then install the
upper joint bolt, and tighten it to the specified
torque. Tighten the lower joint bolt to the
specified torque.

lf the steering wheel was turned, center the cable
reel by first rotating it clockwise until it stops. Then
rotate it counterclockwise (about two and half
turns) untilthe arrow mark on the label points
straight up. Reinstall the steering wheel (see page
17 -8).
Install the front wheels.)1

22. After installation, perform the following checks.
. Perform the front toe inspection.. Check the steering wheel spokeangle. lfsteering
spoke angles to the right and left are not equal(steering wheel and rack are not centered),
correct the engagement of the joinvpinion shaft
serrations, then adjust the front toe by turning
the tie-rods, if necessarv.

General Troubleshooting Information
ABS Indicator
. lf the system is OK,theABS indicator goes off 2
seconds after turning the ignition switch ON (ll)
without starting the engine, and then comes on again
and goes off 2 seconds later after starting the engine.
This occurs because the ABS control unitisturned
on by the lG2 power source.. The ABS indicator comes on when the ABS control
unit detects a problem in the system. However, even
though the system is operating properly, the indicator
will come on under these conditions:- Only the drive wheels rotate- One drive wheel is stuck- The vehicle goes into a spin- The ABS continues to operate for a long time.- The vehicle is subjected to an electrical signal
disturbance
To determine the actual cause of the problem, question
the customer about the problem. taking the above
condilions into consideration.
. When a Droblem is detected and lhe ABS indicator
comes on, there are cases when the indicator stays
on until the ignition switch is turned OFF, and cases
when the indicator goes off automatically when the
sYstem returns to normal.- DTC 61: The ABS indicator goes off automatically
when the system returns to normal.- DTC 11, 13,15,17 ,31,32,33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 54,
or 81: The ABS indicator stays on until the ignition
switch is turned OFF whether or not the system
returns to normal.- DfC 12, 14, 16, 1a,21,51,52, or 53; The ABS
indicator goes off when the vehicle is driven again
and the system is OK after the ignition switch is
turned from OFF to ON {ll}.
Diagnostic Trouble Code {DTCI
. The memory can hold three DTCS. However, when
the same DTC is detected more than once, the more
recent DTC is written over the earlier one.
Therefore, when the same problem is detected
repeatedly, it is memorized as a single DTC.. The DTCs are in the order they occurred, beginning
with the most recent.. The DTCS are memorized in the EEPROM (non-
volatile memory). Therefore. the memorized DTCs
are not cleared when the battery is disconnected, the
ignition switch is turned off, or the system returns to
normal. Do the specified procedures to clear the
DTCs.
Self-diagnosis
. Self-diagnosis can be classified into two categories:- Initial diagnosis:
Done right after the engine starts and until the ABS
indicator goes off- Regular diagnosis:
Done rightafterthe initial diagnosis until the
ignition switch is turned OFF. When a problem is detected by self-diagnosis, the
system does the following:- Turns the ABS indicator on- Memorizes the DTC- Stops ABS control
Kickback
The pump motor operates when the ABS is functioning,
and the fluid in the reservoir is forced out to the master
cylinder, causing kickback at the brake pedal.
Pump Motor
. The pump motor operates when the ABS is
functioning.. The ABS control unit checks the pump motor
operation when the vehicle is started the first time
after the ignition switch is turned ON (ll). You may
hear the motor operate at this time, but it is normal.

ABS Components
System Description (cont'd)
ABS Modulator
The ABS modulator consists of the inlet solenoid valves, outlet solenoid valves, reservoir, pump, pump motor, and the
damping chamber. The modulator reduces the caliper fluid pressure directly. lt is a circulating-type modulator
becausethe brakefluidcirculatesthroughthecaliper,reservoir,andthemastercylinder.Thehydrauliccontrol has
three modes: pressure intensifying, pressure retaining, and pressure reducing. The hydraulic circuit is an independent
four-channeltype, one channel for each wheel.
Pressure intensifying mode: Inletvalve open, outlel valve closed
Master cylinder fluid is pumped out to the caliper.
Pressure retaining mode: lnlet valve closed, outlet valve closed
Caliper fluid is retained by the inlet valve and outlet valve.
Pressure reducing mode: Inlet valve closed, outlet valve open
Caliper fluid flows through the outlet valve to the reservoir.
lvlotor operation mode: When starting the pressure reducing mode, the pump motor is ON.
When stopping ABS operation, the pump motor is OFF.
The caliper fluid is pumped out by the pump, through the damping chamber, to the
master cvlinder.
