ABS MOTOR RELAY AND ACTUATOR RELAY
Turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect the VDC relay box con-
nector E47, E48, E222.
Apply a voltage of 12 V between the ABS motor relay terminal 8
and the actuator relay terminal 7 and then check the continuity
between the following terminals.
VDC/TCS/ABS ACTUATOR
Actuator Operation Inspection
1. Turn ignition switch ON, apply a voltage of 12 V between the
relay box terminal 5 and 8, use an oscilloscope to measure the
motor voltage at this time (between terminal 11 and the ground),
and check the motor reverse voltage occurrence time when
operation is stopped.
CAUTION:
The above check should be performed after motor relay
unit inspection to make sure relay operates normally.
To prevent overheating, do not drive actuator motor more
than 4 seconds.
The motor reverse voltage occurrence time is standard
when the battery voltage is 12 V and the air temperature is
20°C (68°F), and this time is a little shorter when the battery
voltage is low or the air temperature is low.
ABS motor relay Between terminal 4 to 10 Continuity should exist.
Actuator relay Between terminal 9 to 12 Continuity should exist.

Removal and InstallationNFS0004Y
COMPONENTS
REMOVAL
Pay attention to the following when removing sensor.
CAUTION:
As much as possible, avoid rotating sensor when removing it. Pull sensors out without pulling on
sensor harness.
Take care to avoid damaging sensor edges or rotor teeth. Remove wheel sensor first before
removing front or rear wheel hub. This is to avoid damage to sensor wiring and loss of sensor
function.
INSTALLATION
Pay attention to the following when installing sensor. Tighten installation bolts and nuts to specified torques.
When installing, check that there is no foreign material such as iron chips on pick-up and mounting hole of
the sensor. Check that no foreign material has been caught in the sensor rotor motor. Remove any foreign
material and clean the mount.
When installing front sensor, be sure to press rubber grommets in until they lock at the three locations
shown in diagram (2 at shock absorbers and 1 at body panel). When installed, harness must not be
twisted. White line on harness (shaded part) must be visible from front.
