LONG STOPPING DISTANCES ON LOOSE ROAD SURFACESWhen braking on loose surfaces like snow-covered or gravel roads, the stopping
distance can be longer for an ABS-equipped vehicle than the stopping distance for a
vehicle with a conventional brake system. SHOCK AT STARTING CHECK Shock may be felt when the brake pedal is lightly pressed while driving at a low
speed. This is a normal characteristic because the ABS system operation check is
carried out when vehicle speed is 8 km/h (5 mph) or less. ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) DIAGNOSIS INTRODUCTION TO ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS The anti-lock braking system (ABS) operates differently from conventional brake
systems. These differences include sounds, sensations, and vehicle performance that
owners and service technicians who are not familiar with ABS may not be used to.
Some operational characteristics may seem to be malfunctions, but they are simply
signs of normal ABS operation. When diagnosing the ABS system, keep these
operational characteristics in mind. Inform the owner of the kind of performance
characteristics to expect from an ABS-equipped vehicle. ABS DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DETECTION CONDITIONS ABS diagnostic trouble codes (ABS DTCs) are set under different conditions,
depending on the malfunction detected. Most ABS DTCs will only be set during
vehicle operation. Some ABS DTCs will also be set during the ABS self-check
immediately after the engine is started.
When you check if an ABS DTC will be displayed again after the DTC has been
erased, you should duplicate the ABS DTC set conditions. Depending on the
detection timing and set conditions for the specific ABS DTC, you must either drive
the vehicle or turn the engine off and restart it. To set the proper conditions for that
DTC again, refer to ABS DTC SET CONDITIONS
for each ABS DTC that you
are trying to reset.

BASIC BRAKE SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS INTRODUCTION TO BASIC BRAKE SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS Hydraulic brakes are composed of the brake pedal, master cylinder, brake booster
and disc brakes. Malfunctions such as insufficient braking power or the generation
of noise may occur due to wear, damage or incorrect adjustment of these
components. BASIC BRAKE SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLESHOOTING STRATEGY Use these steps to plan your diagnostic strategy. If you follow them carefully, you
will be sure that you have exhausted most of the possible ways to find a basic brake
system fault.
1. Gather information from the customer.
2. Verify that the condition described by the customer exists.
3. Find the malfunction by following the symptom chart.
4. Verif

AUTO-CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS INTRODUCTION TO AUTO-CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS The auto-cruise control system allows driving without stepping on the accelerator
pedal by setting a random speed between 40 km/h (25 mph) and 170 km/h (106
mph). Problems in this system can be investigated by the following methods. Auto-cruise control system diagnostic trouble codes The auto-cruise control system consists of the powertrain control module (PCM),
control switches and sensors. The control switches and sensors monitor the state of
the vehicle. The PCM controls the throttle valve opening angle in the throttle body
in accordance with the in
put si
gnals from the switches and sensors. If the PCM

Propeller Shaft - Endeavor
GENERAL DESCRIPTION For AWD vehicles, 3 way split 4-joint type propeller shaft with center bearing is
adopted, and it has the following features.
The DOJ, which is of less sliding resistance, is used for the No.3 joint. This
reduces the idling vibration. A insulator is located at the center bearing to vehicle body joint, reducing
vibration.

INTRODUCTION TO HEATER, AIR CONDITIONING AND VENTILATION DIAGNOSISAir is drawn into the heater assembly from either the outside, or from the inside of
the passenger cabin if DEFROST, maximum cooling or RECIRCULATION are
selected. The air is then forced through the evaporator where heat is removed,
cooling and de-humidifying the air. Depending on the temperature selected, a
portion of this air is then forced through the heater core to achieve the selected
discharge temperature.
If the system does not cool properly, look for a problem with the refrigerant, blower
or air distribution systems. If the system does not heat properly, look for a problem
with the coolant, blower or air distribution systems. In either case all system fuses,
circuit breaker and relays should be checked. HEATER, AIR CONDITIONING AND VENTILATION DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLESHOOTING

AUTO A/C DIAGNOSIS INTRODUCTION After air is taken in through the damper, it is fed to the evaporator by the blower fan
and motor and cooled. The air cooled by the air mix damper is mixed appropriately
with the warmed air to achieve a comfortable temperature. If the A/C does not
operate or the cooled air is not discharged, the system components or relay may be
faulty. AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING TROUBLESHOOTING STRATEGY Use these steps to plan your diagnostic strategy. If you follow them carefully, you
