IGN Counter 0 - 39 The number of times that ignition switch is turned ON after DTC is detected
 The number is 0 when a malfunction is detected now.
 The number increases like 1
→ 2 → 3...38 → 39 after returning to the normal condition
whenever ignition switch OFF → ON.
 The number is fixed to 39 until the self-diagnosis results are erased if it is over 39.

PRECAUTIONS
5. When the repair work is completed, re-connect both battery cables. With the brake pedal released, turn
the push-button ignition switch from ACC position to ON position, then to LOCK position. (The steering
wheel will lock when the push-button igniti on switch is turned to LOCK position.)
6. Perform self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT-III.
Precaution for Procedure without Cowl Top CoverINFOID:0000000006228173
When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc.
Precaution for Brake systemINFOID:0000000006222459
WARNING:
Clean any dust from the front brake and rear brake wi th a vacuum dust collector. Never blow with com-
pressed air.
 Brake fluid use refer to MA-10, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
 Never reuse drained brake fluid.
 Never spill or splash brake fluid on painted surfaces. Brake fluid may seriously damage paint. Wipe it off
immediately and wash with water if it gets on a painted surface.
 Always confirm the specified tightening torque when installing the brake pipes.
 After pressing the brake pedal more deeply or harder t han normal driving, such as air bleeding, check each
item of brake pedal. Adjust brake pedal if it is outside the standard value.
 Always clean with new brake fluid when cleaning the brake caliper and other components.
 Never use mineral oils such as gasoline or light oil to clean. They may damage rubber parts and cause
improper operation.
 Always loosen the brake tube flar e nut with a flare nut wrench.
 Tighten the brake tube flare nut to the specified torque with a crow-
foot (A) and torque wrench (B).
 Brake system is an important safety part. If a brake fluid leak is detected, always disassemble the affected part. If a malfunction is
detected, replace part with a new one.
 Always connect the battery terminals when moving the vehicle.
 Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the hydraulic booster assembly harness connector or the battery negative terminal
before performing the work.
 Check that no brake fluid leakage is present after replacing the
parts.
 Burnish the brake contact surfaces after refinishing or replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.
- Front brake pad: Refer to BR-16, "
BRAKE PAD : Inspection and Adjustment".
- Front disc rotor: Refer to BR-16, "
DISC ROTOR : Inspection and Adjustment".
- Rear brake pad: refer to BR-18, "
BRAKE PAD : Inspection and Adjustment".

FRONT DISC BRAKE
FRONT DISC BRAKE
BRAKE PAD
BRAKE PAD : Inspection and AdjustmentINFOID:0000000006222468
INSPECTION
Check the thickness of brake pad from the inspection hole (A) on
brake caliper assembly. Check use a scale if necessary.
ADJUSTMENT
CAUTION:
 Burnish contact surfaces between pads according to the following procedure after refinishing or
replacing brake pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.
 Be careful of vehicle speed because the brake does not operate firmly/securely until pads and disc
rotor are securely fitted.
 Only perform this procedure under safe road and traffic conditions. Use extreme caution.
1. Drive vehicle on straight, flat road.
2. Depress brake pedal with the power to stop vehicl e within 3 to 5 seconds until the vehicle stops.
3. Drive without depressing brake for a few minutes to cool the brake.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 until pad and disc rotor are securely fitted.
DISC ROTOR
DISC ROTOR : Inspec tion and AdjustmentINFOID:0000000006222469
INSPECTION
Appearance
Check surface of disc rotor for uneven wear, cracks, and serious damage. Replace it if necessary. Refer to
FA X - 8 , "
Removal and Installation" (2WD), FAX-18, "Removal and Installation" (AWD).
Runout
1. Fix the disc rotor to the wheel hub and bearing assembly with wheel nuts (2 points at least).
2. Check the wheel bearing axial end play before the inspection. Refer to FA X - 7 , "
Inspection" (2WD), FAX-
16, "Inspection" (AWD).
3. Inspect the runout with a dial indicator to measure at 10 mm (0.39 in) inside the disc edge.
4. Find the installation position that has a minimum runout by shift-
ing the disc rotor-to-wheel hub and bearing assembly installation
position by one hole at a time if the runout exceeds the limit
value.
5. Refinish the disc rotor if the runout is outside the limit even after performing the above operation. [When refinishing, use the Pro-
Cut PEM On-Car brake Lathe (Tool No. 38-PFM90.5) or equiva-
lent.]
