[ 22 1 STOP LAMPSW 1E-4
CHECK USING SELF DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
(1) With the ignition switch OFF, connect the MUT through the
adapter harness (MB991377). turn the ignition ON and
select the ABS system. (The ABS warning light lights up, it
goes into the MUT mode. In the MUT mode, ABS does
not function.)
If it does not go into the MUT mode, check the ECU power
circuit and the harness between the ECU and diagnosis
check terminals.
(2) Read the diagnosis output codes from the ECU memory.
(3) Clear the diagnosis codes once from memory. (Refer to
P.35-30.)If the memory cannot be cleared, the ECU is currently
detecting the trouble and the ABS ECU is in fail safe. If it
can be cleared, the trouble is either temporary or appears
only when driving.
(4) When the trouble codes cannot be cleared, or when the
ABS ECU goes into fail safe during another test drive and
trouble codes are output, check according to trouble code
check charts (E-l-E-7).

CABS warning light does not illuminate when the ignition key is in the “START” position.
[Explanation]
The ABS ECU uses the
IG2 power source which is
turned off in the “START” position. The ABS
warning light uses the
IG, power source which is
not turned off even in the “START” position.
Consequently, in the “START” position, power is off
LJand the ECU turns the valve relay OFF. If the
warning light does not illuminate at this time, there
is trouble in the warning light circuit on the valve
relay side.

SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES
BRAKE PEDAL INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT
1.Measure the brake pedal height as illustrated. If the’brakepedal height is not within the standard value, adjust as
follows.
Standard value (A): 177
- 182 mm (7.0 - 7.2 in.)
(I) Disconnect the stop light switch connector, loosen the
lock nut, and move the stop light switch to a position
where it does not contact the brake pedal arm.
(2) Adjust the brake pedal height by turning the operating
rod with pliers (with the operating. rod lock nut
loosened), until the correct brake pedal height is
obtained.
(3) After screwing in the stop light switch until it contacts
the brake pedal stopper (just before the brake pedal is
caused to move), return the stop light switch
l/2 to 1
turn and secure by tightening the lock nut.
(4) Connect the connector of the stop light switch.
(5) Check to be sure that the stop light is not illuminated
with the brake pedal unpressed.
Reference value (6): 0.5
- 1.0 mm (.02 - .04 in.)
2. On vehicles with automatic transaxle, check the shift-lock
mechanism. (Refer to GROUP 23
- Transaxle Control.)
3. With the engine stopped, depress the brake pedal two or
three times. After eliminating the vacuum in the power
brake booster, press the pedal down by hand, and confirm
that the amount of movement before resistance is met (the
free play) is within the standard value range.
Standard value (C): 3
- 8 mm (.I - .3 in.)
If the free play is less than the standard value, confirm that
the clearance between the stop light switch and brake
pedal is within the standard value.
If the free play exceeds the standard value, it is probably
due to excessive play between the clevis pin and brake
pedal arm. Check for excessive clearance and replace faulty
parts as required.
4.Start the engine, depress the brake pedal with approximate-
ly 500 N (110
Ibs.) of force, and measure the clearance
between the brake pedal and the floorboard.
Standard value (D): 80 mm (3.1 in.) or more
If the clearance is less than the standard value, check for air
trapped in the brake line and for brake fluid leaks. If
necessary, check the brake system mechanism (excessive
shoe clearance due to faulty auto adjuster) and repair faulty
parts as required.~1~1
