Output voltage:
Above 70 mV when measured with the circuit
tester
Above 200 mVP-P when measured with the
oscilloscope
4. If the output voltage is lower than the above values, the
following reasons may be suspected. Check or replace
the wheel speed sensor.
DExcessive clearance between the ball piece of the
wheel speed sensor and ABS rotor
DWheel speed sensor faul
INSPECTION PROCEDURE USING OSCILLOSCOPE
After checking the connected state of the harness of the
wheel speed sensor and connector, and measure the output
voltage waveform of each wheel speed sensor on the
oscilloscope as follows.
Start the engine, shift the transmission to the 1st gear to
rotate the driving wheel, and rotate the non-driving wheel
at constant velocity with the hand.
NOTE
1. It is also possible to actually drive the vehicle and observe
the waveform.
2. The output voltage is low if the wheel speed is low and
gradually increases as the speed increases.

PhenomenonProbable causeSolution
Waveform amplitude is too small or
not output at allWheel seed sensor faultReplace the sensor
Excessive waveform amplitude
(However allowed if above the
iilit df100V)
Excessive vibration or concentricity of
the axle hubReplace the hub

Caution
As the wheel speed sensor cable follows the movement of the front or rear suspension, it will
change considerably on poor condition roads. Therefore, also observe the output voltage waveform
of the wheel speed sensor with the sensor harness vibrated to simulate special conditions such
as driving in poor road conditions.

6. Remove the cap of the left bleeder screw on the torque
transfer differential and connect a vinyl hose.
7. Gradually turn the steering wheel clockwise from the
straight-ahead position. At this time, loosen the left bleeder
screw and check that fluid is discharged with air.
8. After air has been completely discharged, tighten bleeder
screw and turn the steering wheel in the straight-ahead
position.
Caution
While the system is being bled of air, add fluid as
necessary to ensure that it is left in the oil reservoir
during the entire procedure.
9. Repeat steps 6 and 7 two to three times until no air
bubbles are recognized in the fluid that comes out. Then,
tighten the bleeder screw to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 9±1 N·m
10. Perform steps 5 through 8 for the right bleeder screw.
Note, however, that the steering wheel should be turned
conterclockwise.
11. When removing the hydraulic unit, bleed the fluid line
in ACD side. (Refer to GROUP 22 – On-vehicle Service.)
12. After the system has been completely bled of air, check
for the fluid level. (Refer to P. 27B-19.)
Caution
If the system is not completely bled of air, the hydraulic
unit could generate noise, degrading pump durability.
AYC OPERATION CHECK
1. Lift up the vehicles.
2. Set the MUT-IIto the 16-pin diagnosis connector.
Caution
Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK (OFF) position
before connecting or disconnecting the MUT-II.
3. Start the engine.
4. Set the gear to the 2nd gear or above, operate MUT-II,
and check from the service data (Item No.09) that the
wheel speed is within 10 km/h to 20 km/h.
NOTE
(1) Set the steering wheel to the neutral position.
(2) When turning the steering wheel, AYC operates
continually (operation sound from the torque transfer
differential), but it is not system fault. In this case,
set the steering wheel to the neutral position, and
perform the following operations in order to stop the
ACD.
DRelease the clutch.
DSet the gear to ”Neutral”.
DStop the engine.

1. Remove the drive shaft. (Refer to P. 27B-29.)
2. Remove the oil seal from the differential carrier.
3. Using the special tool, drive a new oil seal all the way
into position.
4. Coat the oil seal lips and the drive shaft surface in contact
with the oil seal with the specified grease.
Specified grease: Vaseline
5. Replace the drive shaft circlip with a new one and mount
the drive shaft to the differential carrier. (Refer to P.
27B-29.)
6. Check for correct wheel alignment. (Refer to GROUP
34 – On-vehicle Service.)
ACTION WHEN BATTERY RUNS OUT
When the engine is started using a booster cable where the
battery has completely run down and you attempt to start
the vehicle without waiting for the battery to recover a certain
charge, the engine can misfire and you just cannot start to
move it. In such cases, charge the battery sufficiently; or,
remove the AYC battery cable from the battery fuse assembly
to make AYC inactive before attempting to start the vehicles.
When the battery cable is removed, the ACD mode indicator
lamp lights up. After the battery has been recharged, fit the
battery cable back again and start the engine to ensure that
the ACD mode indicator lamp is off.

Caution
1. Before removing the steering wheel and air bag module assembly, always refer to GROUP
52B - Service Precautions, Air bag Module and Clock Spring. Also, set the front wheels so
that they are facing straight forward, and remove the ignition key. If you fail to do this, the
SRS clock spring will be damaged, causing the SRS air bag to be inoperative and serious
injury.

BRAKE PEDAL CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT
BRAKE PEDAL HEIGHT
1. Turn up the carpet, etc. under the brake pedal.
2. Measure the brake pedal height as illustrated.
Standard value (A): 169.1 - 172.1 mm
3. If the brake pedal height is not within the standard value,
follow the procedure below.
(1) Disconnect the stop lamp switch connector.
(2) Loosen the stop lamp switch by turning it approx.
1/4 turns anticlockwise.
(3) Remove the brake booster. (Refer to P.35A-17.)
NOTE
With the master cylinder and brake pipe connected,
remove the brake booster only.
(4) Adjust the brake pedal height by turning the clevis.
NOTE
When the clevis is turned 180_, the pedal hight is
changed approximately 2.4 mm.
(5) Install the brake booster. (Refer to P.35A-17.)
(6) Measure brake pedal height, and ensure that the
measured value is within the specified value. When
it is out of the specified value, repeat Step (3) - (6).
(7) Insert the stop lamp switch until it’s thread part touches
the stopper. Then lock the stop lamp switch by turning
it approx. 1/4 turns clockwise, and confirm that the
clearance between the switch plunger and the stopper
is as shown.
(8) Connect the connector at the stop lamp switch.
Caution
Check that the stop lamp does not illuminate when
the brake pedal is not depressed.
4. Return the carpet, etc.
BRAKE PEDAL FREE PLAY
1. 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.

2. If the brake pedal play is not within the standard value,
check the following, and adjust or replace if necessary:
DExcessive play between the brake pedal and the clevis
pin, or between the clevis pin and the brake booster
operating rod
DBrake pedal height
DInstallation position of the stop lamp switch, etc.
CLEARANCE BETWEEN BRAKE PEDAL AND FLOOR
BOARD
1. Turn up the carpet etc. under the brake pedal.
2. Start the engine, depress the brake pedal with
approximately 500 N of force, and measure the clearance
between the brake pedal and the floorboard.
Standard value (C): 90 mm or more
3. If the clearance is outside the standard value, check for
air trapped in the brake line and thickness of the disc
brake pad and dragging in the parking brake.
Adjust and replace defective parts as required.
4. Return the carpet, etc.
BRAKE BOOSTER OPERATING TEST
For simple checking of the brake booster operation, carry
out the following tests:
1. Run the engine for one or two minutes, and then stop
it.
If the pedal depresses fully the first time but gradually
becomes higher when depressed succeeding times, the
booster is operating properly. If the pedal height remains
unchanged, the booster is defective.
2. With the engine stopped, step on the brake pedal several
times.
Then start the engine while the brake pedal is stepped
on.
If the pedal moves downward slightly, the booster is in
good condition. If there is no change, the booster is
defective.
3. With the engine running, step on the brake pedal and
then stop the engine.
Hold the pedal depressed for 30 seconds. If the pedal
height does not change, the booster is in good condition.
If the pedal rises, the booster is defective.
If the above three tests are okay, the booster performance
can be determined as good.
If one of the above three tests is not okay at least, the check
valve, vacuum hose, or booster will be defective.
