1. Adjust the toe-in by undoing the clips and turning the left
and right tie rod turnbuckles by the same amount (in
opposite directions).
2.After making the adjustments, use a turning radius gauge to
confirm that the steering wheel turning angle is within thestandard value range. (Refer to GROUP 37A

Install the special tool by tightening it to the same torque as
that applied to the drive shaft nut.

To adjust camber, turn the strut lower mounting bolt (upper).
One graduation is equivalent to about 20’ in camber. Caster hasbeen factory-adjusted to the standard value and requires no
adjustment.
Caution
1.One camber graduation changes toe by about 0.5 mm
(.02 in.). Be sure to adjust toe after camber has been
adjusted.
2.The difference in camber between right and left shouldbe within
O”30’.

SERVICE BRAKES -Anti-lock Braking System Troubleshooting35-7
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTlilGPARTICULAR PHENOMENA OF THE
LANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEMModels equipped with the anti-lock braking system
(ABS) may exhibit one or more of the following
phenomena from time to time, but none of these
are abnormal.
(1) A pulsing feeling in the brake pedal, or vibration
of the body or the steering wheel, when the
anti-lock braking system is activated by sudden
braking or by braking on a slippery road surface.
.9ctually, this phenomenon is an indication that
the anti-lock braking system is functioning nor-
mally.(2) When the vehicle speed reaches approximately
6 km/h (4 mph) after the engine is started and
the vehicle starts off (for the first time), a
whining motor noise may be heard from the
engine compartment if the vehicle is traveling in
a quiet place, but this noise is simply the result
of a self-check being made of the anti-lock
braking system operation.
TROUBLESHOOTING METHODSProblems related to the anti-lock braking system
(ABS) can be classified into two general categories:
problems in the electrical system and those in the
Lhydraulic system.For problems in the electrical system, the
self-diagnosis function is built into the electronic control
unit (E.C.U.) causing the ABS warning light to
illuminate as a warning to the driver. In this instance,
checks can be made by using the multi-use tester
and oscilloscope.
Problems in the hydraulic system (poor braking,
etc.) can be located in the same way as for ordinary
brakes. There is, however, the necessity to check to
determine whether the problem is related to ordin-
ary brake components or to the components related
to the ABS. To make this check, use the multi-use
tester.
HOW TO USE THE TROUBLESHOOTING
FLOW CHART(1) Using the flow chart, check the ABS warning
light light-up sequence. Read the diagnosis
codes and check the condition of braking opera-
tion.
(2) Following the check chart listed in the remedy
column, perform the checks. There are [Explana-
tion] and [Hint] in each check chart. Refer to
them when troubleshooting.

HU: Hydraulic unit
