the chalk mark.
2.If the run-out cannot be corrected by changing the phase of
the brake disc, replace the disc.
REAR DISC BRAKE PAD CHECK AND REPLACE-
MENTM35FUAE
1.Check brake pad thickness through caliper body check port.
Standard value: 10.0 mm
(39 in.)
Limit: 2.0 mm
(08 in.)
Caution
1.When the limit is exceeded, replace the pads at both
sides, and also the brake pads for the wheels on the
opposite side at the same time.
2.If there is a significant difference in the thicknesses
of the pads on the left and right sides, check the
sliding condition of the piston, lock pin sleeve and
guide pin sleeve.
2. Loosen the parking brake cable (from the vehicle interior),
and disconnect the parking brake end installed on the rear
brake assembly.
3. Remove lock pin. Lift caliper assembly and retain with
wires.
Caution
Do not smear special grease on lock pin or make it
dirty.

112 to 1
turn/second, measure the output voltage with a circuit
tester or oscilloscope.
Output voltage:
When measured with circuit tester: 70
mV or more
When measured with oscilloscope (max. voltage): 100
mV or more
Probable causes of low output voltage
l Speed sensor pole piece-to-rotor clearance too large
l Faulty speed sensor
4. Then, in order to observe the output state of the wheel
speed sensors, shift into low gear
(AWD vehicle) and drive
the wheels, observe the output voltage waveform of each
wheel speed sensor with an oscilloscope.
In the case of the FWD vehicle, observe the waveform with
an oscilloscope; for the front wheels, shift into low gear and
drive the wheels; for the rear wheels, turn the wheels
manually at a constant speed.
NOTE
1.Waveform may also be observed by actually driving the
vehicle.
2.The output voltage is low when the wheel speed is low
and increases as the wheel speed increases.

Faulty wheel speed sensorRemedy

Incorrect pole piece-to-rotor clearance

NOTEThe wheel speed sensor cable moves following motion of the front or rear suspension. Therefore, it is likely that it has an
open circuit only when driving on rough roads and it functions normally on ordinary roads. It is, therefore, recommended
to observe sensor output voltage waveform also under special conditions, such as rough road driving,

INSPECTION OF HYDRAULIC UNITINSPECTION BY FEEL
(I) Jack up the vehicle and support the vehicle with rigid racks
placed at the specified jack-up points.
(2) Release the parking brake and determine the drag force
(drag torque) of each wheel by feel.
LJ(3) Set the MUT through the adapter harness (MB991377) as
illustrated.
(4) 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 MUT mode.
In the MUT mode, ABS does not function.
(5) Operate the MUT to force the actuator to operate (item No.
04, 05, 06).
(6) Turning the wheel manually, check the change of the
braking force when the brake pedal is depressed.
The change should be as shown in the following illustration.
NOTEWhile the ABS is in the fail safe mode, the MUT actuator
test cannot be made.

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.
