BASIC BRAKE SYSTEM35A-21
After a new brake disc is installed, always grind the
brake disc with an on-the-car type brake lathe. If this
step is not carried out, the brake disc run-out exceeds
the specified value, resulting in judder.
When the on-the-car type lathe is used, first install a
M12 flat washer on the stud bolt in the brake disc side
according to the figure, and then install the adapter. If
the adapter is installed with M12 flat washer not seated,
the brake disc rotor may be deformed, resulting in inac-
curate grinding.
Grind the brake disc with all wheel nuts diagonally and
equally tightened to the specified torque 100 N
m (74
ft-lb). If all of the wheel nuts are not used, or the tight-
ening torque is excessive or not equal, the brake disc
rotor or drum may be deformed, resulting in judder.
2. If the disc thickness is less than the limit, replace it with a
new one. If thickness variation exceeds the specification,
turn rotor with an on-the-car type brake lathe
("Accuturn-8750" or equivalent). If the calculated final
thickness after turning the rotor is less than the standard
value, replace the disc.

MASTER CYLINDER FUNCTION CHECKM1351010200266
1. Remove the reservoir cap.
2. While watching the open reservoir from a distance of 50 cm
(20 inches), have an assistant depress the brake pedal. If
there was a stream of brake fluid rising from the reservoir,
proceed to Step 3. If there was no stream of brake fluid
rising from the reservoir, repair or replace the master
cylinder.
3. While watching the open reservoir from a distance of 50 cm
(20 inches), have the assistant release the brake pedal. If
there was a small amount of air bubbles rising through the
brake fluid, master cylinder function is normal. If there were
no bubbles rising through the brake fluid, repair or replace
the master cylinder.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCL)13C-2
GENERAL DESCRIPTIONM1136000100029
Traction Control systems are a significant safety fea-
ture designed to prevent wheel spin during accelera-
tion. This results in improved vehicle stability and
steer ability. When excessive wheel spin is detected,
the system will automatically reduce engine torque
via the engine management system. The Engine
ECU can reduce throttle position, cut fuel injection
and retard ignition to one or more cylinders depend-ing on how much torque reduction is required and
will continue to occur until the wheels are no longer
spinning. During traction control operation the TCL
warning lamp will flash to inform the driver that the
vehicle is under traction control. This will continue
until traction control is finished.

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCL) DIAGNOSIS
TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCL)13C-37
ACTUATOR TEST REFERENCE TABLEM1136003600067
NOTE: If the ABS-8 ECU or the active wheel
speed sensor are disconnected, or if the wiring is
an open/ short circuit, the ABS 8 ECU will shut
off power supply to the respective wheel speed
sensor. All other wheel speed sensors will oper-
ate normally. To restore the power supply, the
ignition switch must be turned to the "OFF" posi-
tion then to the "ON" position again.The diagnostic tool activates the following actuators
for testing. (Refer to P.13C-3).
NOTE: Since the TCL is controlled with the same ABS/TCL-ECU used to control the ABS, the FL, FR, RL or
RR Wheel ABS Drive testing items (No.01 to 04) used only for the ABS also appear. MUT-III

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FRONT AXLE26-2
GENERAL DESCRIPTIONM1261000100370
The front axle consists of front hubs, knuckles, wheel
bearings and drive shafts, and has the following fea-
tures:
The wheel bearing incorporates double-row
angular contact ball bearing for reduced friction.
The front wheel hub assembly combines the hub,
wheel bearing, and oil seal in a single unit for
fewer parts, better durability, improved assembly
precision, and better structural organization.
The driveshaft incorporates BJ-PTJ type constant
velocity joints with high transmission efficiency for
low vibration and noise.
Due to the use of the inner shaft and bracket
assembly, the right and left drive shafts are
approximately the same in length. This reduces
noise, vibration and torque steer.L-RH>
The dynamic damper is mounted on the LH drive-
shaft.
ABS rotor for detecting the wheel speed is
press-fitted to the BJ.
