OUTPUT VOLTAGE VARIATIONS ABS>N65FOAO
(1) Jack up the vehicle and release the parking brake.
(2) Disconnect the electronic control unit harness connector,
and measure the speed sensor output voltage at the
vehicle side harness connector.
(3) With an AWD model, put the shift lever in
1st (MTT) or L(A/T) position, rotate the wheels and observe the wave
shape for each wheel. With an FWD model, put the shift
lever in
1st (M/T) or L (AiT) position, rotate the wheels and
observe the wave shape for the front wheels; for the rear
wheels, rotate the wheels by hand and monitor the wave
shape.

Wave shape monitoring points
IS THE OUTPUTVOLTAGE (AMPLITUDE) TOO LOW OR ISTHERE NO OUTPUT VOLTAGE?
If it is too low, check each wheel speed sensor,
With FWD rear wheels, check the sensor gap.
IS THERE VARIATION IN THE WAVE SHAPE AMPLITUDE?
If the flicker of the amplitude is large, consider shaking
of the axle hub.
IS THERE NOISE IN THE WAVE SHAPE OR DISTORTION?Broken or disconnected wire due to vibration or
installation malfunction of the wheel speed sensor.
Check rotor teeth meshing, breaks, etc.

19. REMOVAL OF TIMING BELT
(1) Turn the crankshaft clockwise and align the timing
marks.Caution
The crankshaft must always be turned clockwise.
(2) Make a mark on the back of the timing belt indicating
the direction of rotation so it may be reassembled in thesame direction if it is to be reused.
(3) Loosen the bolt and tension spacer of the timing belt
tensioner.(4) Move the timing belt tensioner to the water pump side
and loosely tighten the bolt so that the tensioner
doesn’t return; then remove the timing belt.
NOTE
If the timing belt is to be re-used, use chalk to’mark (on
its flat side) an arrow indicating the clockwise direction.
Caution
1.As water or oil on the belt can seriously reduce
its usable life, ensure that the timing belt,
sprocket, and tensioner stay clean and dry whileremoved, and never wash them. Parts that haveic
*become too dirty should be replaced.
2. When any of the parts are oily, check to see
whether there are any oil leaks in any of the oil
seals or the camshaft oil seal on the front of the
engine.
