INSPECTION BY USING BRAKE FORCE TESTER
NOTE
(1) The brake force tester roller and tire must be dry during the
test.
(2) When testing the front brakes, apply the parking brake and
when testing the rear brakes, apply chocks to the front
wheels to lock them.
(I) Place the front or rear wheels on the brake force tester
roller.(2) Set the MUT through the adapter harness
(MB9913771 as
illustrated.
(3) After confirming that the shift lever or selector lever is in
the neutral position, start the engine.
(The ABS warning light lights up, it goes into the
-MUTmode. In the MUT mode, ABS does not function.)
(4) Operate the brake force tester roller.
(5) Depress the brake pedal until the brake force tester
indicates the following value and keep the brake force at
this level during the test.
Front wheels: 1,000 N (220
Ibs.)Rear wheels: 650 N (143
Ibs.)(6) Allow the brake tester indication to stabilize before operat-
ing the MUT to perform actuator test (Item No. 01,
02, 03).
Then, read change of tester indication.
Referring to the following “Judgement in Inspection by
Using Brake Force Tester” table, judge and take corrective
action if necessary.
NOTEWhile the ABS is in the fail safe mode, the MUT actuator
test cannot be made.

REMEDY IN CASE OF DISCHARGED BATTERY
M35FOAQIf the engine is jump-started, because of a completely
discharged battery, the vehicle may suffer misfiring and fail to
start if an attempt is made to start without allowing the battery
to recover sufficiently. This is because the ABS consumes a
great deal of current for its self check. In such a case, allow the
battery to sufficiently charge or remove the ABS power relay in
the engine compartment to disable the ABS. Removing the
ABS causes the ABS warning light to light. After the battery is
charged sufficiently, install the power relay and restart the
engine to check that the ABS warning light goes out.
INSPECTION OF VALVE RELAY AND MOTOR
RELAY (ABS)M35FOAR1. Remove the splash shield
(FR) and remove the relay box
cover by inserting a screwdriver between the hydraulic unit
and cover to pry off the lock.
2.Remove the relays. The one closest to you (larger one) is
the motor relay and the one farthest from you (smaller one)
is the valve relay.

un' 14FOO3SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES
PARKING BRAKE LEVER STROKE CHECKM36FEAK
1. Pull the parking brake lever with a force of approx. 200 N d(45
Ibs.), and count the number of notches.
Caution
The 200 N
(45 Ibs.) force of the parking brake lever must
be strictly observed.Standard value: 3
- 5 notches
2.If the parking brake lever stroke is not the standard value,
adjust as described below.
(1) Remove the cup holder and plug and loosen the
adjustment nut to the cable end so that the cable
becomes free.
(2) Repeat depressing the brake pedal until the pedal
stroke becomes stable.
NOTEWhen the brake pedal is repeatedly depressed, shoe
clearance is adjusted properly.
(3) Disengage the drive shaft and companion flange.
(4) Remove the adjusting hole plug. Using a screwdriver,
turn the adjuster in the direction of the arrow (to expand
the shoe) until brake is lightly applied [where the disc
cannot be turned with both hands: approx. 2.7 Nm (23in.lbs.)]. Then, turn the adjuster five notches in the
direction opposite the arrow.
(Reference: Shoe clearance on one side 0.19 mm
‘d
I.0075 in.])
(6) After the parking brake lever stroke has been adjusted,
jack up the rear part of the vehicle. Loosen the parking
brake and turn the rear wheel to check that the parking
brake does not drag.
PARKING BRAKE SWITCH CHECKM36FDAG
1.Disconnect the connector of the parking brake switch, and
connect an ohmmeter to the parking brake switch and the
switch installation bolt.
2.The parking brake switch is good if there is continuity when
the parking brake lever is pulled and there is no continuity
when it is returned.
,(JTSB Revision
(51 Turn the adjusting nut to obtain specified parking brake
lever stroke. After the adjustment, check that there is
no play between the adjusting nut and pin.
CautionDo not adjust parking brake lever stroke too tight,
less than the standard value, or brake drag could
result.

STEERING 2 Service Adjustment Procedures37A-5
13FOOOi13FOOO3SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES
STEERING WHEEL FREE PLAY CHECKM37FABI
1.With engine running (hydraulic operation), set front wheels
straight ahead.
2. Measure the play on steering wheel circumference before
wheels start to move when slightly moving steering wheel
in both directions.
Limit: 30 mm (1.2 in.)
3:When the play exceeds the limit, check for play on steering
shaft connection and steering linkage. Correct or replace.
4. If the free play still exceeds the limit value set steering
wheel straight ahead with engine stopped. Load 5 N
(1 lb.)
towards steering wheel circumference and check play.
Standard values (steering wheel play with engine
stopped): 11 mm
(.43 in.)
If the play exceeds the standard value, remove steering
gear box and check total pinion torque.
STEERING ANGLE CHECKM37FDBK1. Set front wheels on turning radius gauge and measure
steering angle.
Standard values:Inner wheel
33”45’ k 2”
Outer wheel
28”21’2. When not within the standard value, it is probably a toe
problem. Adjust toe (refer to GROUP 33A
- Service
Adjustment Procedures) and recheck.
TIE ROD END BALL JOINT VARIATION CHECK
(SHAFT DIRECTION)M37FPAF1. Hold the ball joint with pliers.
2.Set a caliper gauge as illustrated and measure the displace-
ment with the ball stud compressed.
Limit: 1.5 mm
(.059 in.)
3. If the measured displacement exceeds the limit, replace
the tie-rod end.
Caution
Even if the variation is within the limit, check ball jointstarting torque.
