BASIC BRAKE SYSTEM -Disc Brake35A-21
INSTALLATION SERVICE POINT
"AADISC BRAKE ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION

1. In order to measure the brake drag force after pad
installation, measure the rotary-sliding resistance of the
hub by the following procedure with the pads removed.
(1) Withdraw the drive shaft. (Refer to GROUP 26, 27.)
(2) Attach the special tool to the front hub assembly as
shown in the illustration, and tighten it to the specified
torque.
Tightening torque:
245±29 N·m , 225±25 N·m
(3) Use a spring balance to measure the rotary-sliding
resistance of the hub in the forward direction.
2. Install the caliper support to the knuckle, and then
assemble the pad and the clip to the caliper support.
Caution
Do not contaminate the friction surfaces of the pads
and brake discs by any oil or grease.
3. Clean the piston and insert it into the cylinder with the
special tool.
4. Be careful that the piston boot does not become caught,
when lowering the caliper assembly and install the guide
pin to the caliper.
5. Start the engine, and then depress the brake pedal two
or three times strongly. Then stop the engine.
6. Turn the brake disc forward 10 times.
7. Use a spring balance to measure the rotary-sliding
resistance of the hub in the forward direction.
8. Calculate the drag force of the disc brake [difference
between the values measured at steps 1 and 7].
Standard value:
51 N or less , 69 N or less
9. If that drag force exceeds the standard value, disassemble
the piston assembly. Then check the piston for
contamination or rust, and confirm if the piston or the
piston seal is deteriorated, and if the slide pins slide
smoothly.

1. Find the drag force of the disc brake. (Refer to P.35A-13.)
Standard value: 69 N or less
2. If that drag force exceeds the standard value, disassemble
the piston assembly. Then check the piston for
contamination or rust, and confirm if the piston or the
piston seal is deteriorated.MB990998

NOTES WITH REGARD TO DIAGNOSIS
1. The phenomena listed in the following table are not abnormal.
PhenomenonExplanation of phenomenon
System check soundWhen starting the engine, a thudding sound can sometimes be heard coming from inside
the engine compartment, but this is because the system operation check is being
performed, and is not an abnormality.
ABS operation sound1. Sound of the motor inside the ABS hydraulic unit operation. (whine)
2. Sound is the generated along with vibration of the brake pedal. (scraping)
3. When ABS operates, sound is generated from the vehicle chassis due to repeated
brake application and release.
(Thump: suspension; squeak: tyres)
System check soundWhen depressing the brake pedal during driving, a shock is sometime felt.
2. For road surfaces such as snow-covered roads and gravel roads, the braking distance for vehicles
with ABS can sometimes be longer than that for other vehicles. Accordingly, advise the customer
to drive safely on such roads by lowering the vehicle speed and not being too overconfident.
3. Diagnosis detection condition can vary depending on the diagnosis code.
Make sure that checking requirements listed in the “Comment” are satisfied when checking the trouble
symptom again.

Caution
1. If steering movements are made when driving at high speed, or when driving on road surfaces
with low frictional resistance, or when passing over bumps, the ABS may operate even though
sudden braking is not being applied. Because of this, when getting information from the customer,
check if the problem occurred while driving under such conditions as these.
2. During ABS operation, the brake pedal may vibrate or may not be able to be depressed. Such
phenomena are due to intermittent changes in hydraulic pressure inside the brake line to prevent
the wheels from locking and is not an abnormality.

Inspecting Waveforms With An Oscilloscope
Use the following method to observe the output voltage
waveform from each wheel speed sensor with an oscilloscope.
DStart the engine, and rotate the front wheels by engaging
1st gear. Turn the rear wheels manually so that they
rotate at a constant speed.
NOTE
1. The waveform measurements can also be taken while
the vehicle is actually moving.
2. The output voltage will be small when the wheel speed
is low, and similarly it will be large when the wheel speed
is high.

Caution
Because the wheel speed sensor cables move together with the front and rear suspension, they
vibrate greatly when driving over poor road surfaces. As a result, the sensor harnesses should also
be shaken when monitoring of output waveforms of the wheel speed sensors in order to simulate
conditions such as driving over poor road surfaces.
HYDRAULIC UNIT CHECK
1. Jack up the vehicle and support the vehicle with rigid racks placed at the specified jack-up points
or place the wheels which are checked on the rollers of the braking force tester.
Caution
(1) The roller of the braking force tester and the tyre should be dry during testing.
(2) When testing the front brakes, apply the parking brake, and when testing the rear brakes,
stop the front wheels by chocking them.
2. Turn the ignition key to the “LOCK” (OFF) position and set the MUT-II.
Caution
Turn the ignition key to the “LOCK” (OFF) position before connecting or disconnecting the
MUT-II.
3. After checking that the shift lever is in neutral, start the engine.
4. Use the MUT-IIto force-drive the actuator.
NOTE
(1) During the actuator test, the ABS warning lamp will illuminate and the anti-skid control will be
cancelled.
(2) When the ABS has been interrupted by the fail-safe function, the MUT-IIactuator testing cannot
be carried out.
5. Turn the wheel by hand and check the change in braking force when the brake pedal is depressed.
When using the braking force tester, depress the brake pedal until the braking force is at the following
values, and check that the braking force decreases when the actuator is force-driven.

REMEDY FOR A FLAT BATTERY
When booster cables are used to start the engine when the
battery is completely flat and then the vehicle is immediately
driven without waiting for the battery to recharge itself to
some extent, the engine may misfire, and driving might not
be possible. This happens because ABS consumes a great
amount of current for its self-check function. If this happens,
recharge the battery fully.
Caution
The vehicle posture will be unstable during braking, so
do not drive the vehicle with the ABS-ECU connector
disconnected or with the ABS not operating for any other
reason.

STEERING -On-vehicle Service37A-7
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
STEERING WHEEL FREE PLAY CHECK
1. With engine running (hydraulic operation), set front wheels
straight ahead.
2. Measure the play on steering wheel circumference before
wheels start to move when slightly moving steering wheel
in both directions.
Limit: 30 mm or less
3. When play exceeds the limit, check for play on steering
shaft connection and steering linkage. Correct or replace.
4. If the free play still exceeds the limit value, set steering
wheel straight ahead with engine stopped. Load 5 N
towards steering wheel circumference and check play.
Standard value: 0 - 10 mm
5. If the play exceeds the standard value, remove steering
gear box and check total pinion torque. (Refer to
P.37A-17.)
STEERING ANGLE CHECK
1. Locate front wheels on turning radius gauge and measure
steering angle.
Standard value:
Inner wheel31_45’±1_30’
Outer wheel27_15’
2. When the angle is not within the standard value, the
toe-in is probably incorrect. Adjust the toe-in.
Standard value: 0±2mm
Adjust the toe-in by undoing the clip and lock nut, and
turning the left and right tie rod turnbuckles by the same
amount (in opposite directions).
3. Recheck the steering angle.
TIE ROD END BALL JOINT TURNING TORQUE
CHECK
1. Disconnect tie rod and knuckle with special tool.
Caution
(1) Loosen the nut of the special tool, but do not
remove it. If it is removed, the ball joint thread
may be damaged.
(2) Tie the special tool with a cord so as not to fall
off.

2. Move ball joint stud several times and install nut on stud.
Measure ball joint turning torque with special tool.
Standard value: 1.0 - 3.0 N·m
3. When the turning torque exceeds the standard value,
replace tie rod end.
4. When the turning torque is under the standard value,
check ball joint for end play or ratcheting. If none of these,
the joint is still serviceable.
STATIONARY STEERING EFFORT CHECK
1. With the vehicle stopped on a flat, paved surface, turn
the steering wheel to the straight ahead position.
2. Start the engine and set it to 1,000±100 r/min.
3. Attach a spring balance to the outer circumference of
the steering wheel and measure the steering force
required to turn the steering wheel from the straight ahead
position to the left and right (within a range of 0.9 turns).
Also check to be sure that there is no significant fluctuation
of the required steering force.
Standard value:
Steering effort32 N or less
Fluctuation allowance6.0 N or less
4. If the standard values are not met, check and adjust
the related parts.
CHECKING STEERING WHEEL RETURN TO
CENTRE
To make this test, conduct a road test and check as follows.
1. Make both gradual and sudden turns and check the
steering “feeling” to be sure that there is not difference
in the steering force required and the wheel return between
left and right turns.
2. At a speed of 35 km/h, turn the steering wheel 90_and
release the steering wheel after 1 or 2 seconds. If the
steering wheel then returns 70_or more, the return can
be judged to be satisfactory.
NOTE
There will be a momentary feeling or “heaviness” when
the wheel is turned quickly, but this is not abnormal. (This
is because the oil pump discharge amount is especially
apt to be insufficient during idling.)
DRIVE BELT TENSION CHECK
