REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Caution
(1) For vehicles with AYC, be careful when handling the pole piece at the tip of the speed sensor so as
not to damage it by striking against other parts.
(2) For vehicles with AYC, be careful not to damage the rotors installed to B.J. outer race during removal
and installation of the drive shaft.

INSPECTION
LOWER ARM BALL JOINT ROTATION STARTING
TORQUE CHECK
(1) After shaking the ball joint stud several times, install the
nut to the stud and use the special tool to measure the
rotation starting torque of the ball joint.
Standard value: 1.0 – 3.4 Nm
(2) When the measured value exceeds the standard value,
replace the ball joint assembly.
(3) When the measured value is lower than the standard
value, check that the ball joint turns smoothly without
excessive play. If so, it is possible to use that ball joint.
LOWER ARM BALL JOINT DUST COVER
REPLACEMENT
When the dust cover is damaged during service work or grease
leaks out from the dust cover, replace the dust cover in the
conventional procedure. After replacement, check the dust
cover for cracks or damage by pushing it with finger.

Measure the resistance and check for continuity with the ignition switch in the “OFF” position and
AYC-ECU connector disconnected.

Measure the resistance and check for continuity across terminals listed below.

WHEEL SPEED SENSOR OUTPUT VOLTAGE
MEASUREMENT
1. Lift up the vehicle and release the parking brake.
2. Disconnect the AYC-ECU harness connector and take
measurements on the harness side connector.
Caution
Insert the probe from the harness side with the double
lock of the connector unlocked. Inserting it to the
terminal side could result in poor contact.
3. Turn the wheel to be tested at about 1/2 to one
revolution/sec. and check for the output voltage using
a circuit tester (AC mV range) or oscilloscope.

Output voltage:
When circuit tester is used: 70 mV or more
When oscilloscope is used: 200 mVp-p or more
(4) If the output voltage is lower than the above value, it
is probably attributable to the following faults. Check or
replace the wheel speed sensor as necessary.

Excessive clearance between the pole piece and rotor
of the wheel speed sensor

Defective wheel speed sensor
Waveform Check Using Oscilloscope
Check the harness and connector of the wheel speed sensor
for connection. Then, use an oscilloscope to check for output
voltage waveform of each sensor as follows.
Start the engine and monitor the sensor by turning the wheel;
for a driving wheel, let it turn by shifting into the 1st gear
and for a driven wheel turn it manually at a constant speed.
NOTE
(1) Waveform may be observed by actually running the
vehicle.
(2) The output voltage is low when the wheel speed remains
low and builds up as the wheel speed increases.

Improperly mounted wheel speed sensorCorrect sensor installation.
Missing or collapsed ABS rotor toothReplace ABS rotor.
Caution
Since the wheel speed sensor cable follows the movement of the front or rear suspension, it
may be open-circuited only when the vehicle is run on rough roads and not on ordinary road.
The wheel speed sensor output voltage waveform should therefore be checked also by rocking
the sensor harness so that driving on rough roads may be simulated.
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 fusible link from the engine compartment
relay box to make AYC inactive before attempting to start
the vehicle. When the fusible link is removed, the AYC warning
lamp lights up. After the battery has been recharged, fit the
fusible link back again and start the engine to ensure that
the AYC warning lamp is off.AYC fusible link
