1. CHECK INPUT SIGNAL OF A.B.S. SENSOR TO
A.B.S. CONTROL MODULE SIDE.
1) Raise all four wheels of ground.
2) Turn ignition switch OFF.
3) Disconnect connector from A.B.S. control module.
4) Disconnect connector cover from connector. 4-4a [T7C2].>
5) Connect connector to A.B.S. control module.
6) Connect the oscilloscope to the A.B.S. control module
connector in accordance with the trouble code.
7) Turn ignition switch ON.
8) Rotate wheels and measure voltage at specified fre-
quency.
NOTE:
When this inspection is completed, the A.B.S. control mod-
ule sometimes memorizes the trouble code 29.
Connector & terminal:
(P3) No. 23 (+)—No. 21 ()
(P3) No. 22 (+)—No.4()
(P3) No. 24 (+)—No. 26 ()
(P3) No. 8 (+)—No.9()
Specified voltage: 0.12—1 V (When it is 20 Hz.)

2. CHECK RESISTANCE OF A.B.S. SENSOR.
1) Turn ignition switch OFF.
2) Disconnect connector from A.B.S. sensor.
3) Measure resistance between A.B.S. sensor connector
terminals.

3. CHECK A.B.S. SENSOR MECHANICAL TROUBLE.
1) Dismount brake as outlined in manual to gain access to
A.B.S. sensor and tone wheel for inspection.
2) Check pole piece and tone wheel for accumulation of
foreign particles. If necessary, remove foreign particles and
clean.
3) Check tone wheel teeth for cracks for deformities. If
necessary, replace tone wheel (No. of teeth: 44) with a new
one.
4) Check tone wheel for looseness.
Tightening torque:
10—16 N⋅m (1.0—1.6 kg-m, 7—12 ft-lb)
5) Measure tone wheel-to-pole piece gap over entire
perimeter of the wheel.
SpecificationsFront wheel Rear wheel
0.9—1.4 mm
(0.035—0.055 in)0.7—1.2 mm
(0.028—0.047 in)
If measurements check out“Not OK”, adjust the gap using
spacers (Part No. 26755AA000). If spacers cannot correct
the gap, replace worn sensor or worn tone wheel.
6) Check hub runout.

“Airbag”
Airbag system wiring harness is routed near the ABS/TCS
control module, ABS sensor and hydraulic control unit.
CAUTION:

All Airbag system wiring harness and connectors
are colored yellow. Do not use electrical test equip-
ment on these circuit.

Be careful not to damage Airbag system wiring har-
ness when servicing the ABS/TCS control module,
ABS sensor and hydraulic control unit.
2. Pre-inspection
Before performing diagnostics, check the following items
which might affect ABS/TCS problems:
A: MECHANICAL INSPECTION
1. POWER SUPPLY
1) Measure battery voltage and specific gravity of electro-
lyte.
Standard voltage: 12 V, or more
Specific gravity: Above 1.260
2) Check the condition of the main and other fuses, and
harnesses and connectors. Also check for proper ground-
ing.
2. BRAKE FLUID
1) Check brake fluid level.
2) Check brake fluid leakage.
3. BRAKE DRAG
Check brake drag.
4. BRAKE PAD AND ROTOR
Check brake pad and rotor.
5. TIRE SPECIFICATIONS, TIRE WEAR AND AIR
PRESSURE
Check tire specifications, tire wear and air pressure. to 4-2 [S1A0].>
