BRAKES 5-3
SUBSTANDARD OR
CONTAMINATED BRAKE FLUID
Improper brake fluid, mineral oil or water in the fluid
may cause the brake fluid to boil or the rubber compo-
nents in the hydraulic system to deteriorate.
If primary piston cups are swollen, then rubber parts
have deteriorated. This deterioration may also be evi-
denced by swollen wheel cylinder piston cups on the
drum brake wheels.
If deterioration of rubber is evident, disassemble all
hydraulic parts and wash with alcohol. Dry these parts
with compressed air before assembly to keep alcohol
out of the system. Replace all rubber parts in the sys-
tem, including hoses. Also, when working on the
brake mechanisms, check for fluid on the linings. If ex-
cessive fluid is found, replace the linings.
If master cylinder piston seals are satisfactory, check
for leakage or excessive heat conditions. If condition
is not found, drain fluid, flush with brake fluid, refill and
bleed system.
The system must be flushed if there is any doubt as
to the grade of fluid in the system or if fluid has been
used which contained parts that have been subjected
to contaminated fluid.
DIAGNOSIS
ROAD TESTING BRAKES
Brakes should be tested on dry, clean, smooth and
reasonably level roadway which is not crowned. Road
test brakes by making brake applications with both
light and heavy pedal forces at various speeds to de-
termine if the vehicle stops evenly and effectively.
Also drive vehicle to see if it leads to one side or the
other without brake application. If it does, check the
tire pressure, front end alignment and front suspen-
sion attachments for looseness. See diagnosis chart
for other causes.
BRAKE FLUID LEAKS
Check the master cylinder fluid levels. While a slight
drop in reservoir level does result from normal lining
wear, an abnormally low level indicates a leak in the
system. In such a case, check the entire brake system
for leakage. If even a slight evidence of leakage is
noted, the cause should be corrected or defective
parts should be replaced.
If fluid level is lower than the minimum level of reser-
voir, refilling is necessary. Fill reservoir with specified
brake fluid.
Brake fluid: Refer to reservoir tank cap.
CAUTION:
Since brake system of this vehicle is factory-
filled with brake fluid indicated on reservoir
tank cap, do not use or mix different type of
fluid when refilling; otherwise serious damage
will occur.
Do not use old or used brake fluid, or any fluid
from a unsealed container.

BRAKES 5-9
BRAKE PEDAL FREE HEIGHT CHECK
Remove foot rest and displace carpet and dash silencer(s) so as to
measure brake pedal free height between pedal face and asphalt
sheet installed on dash panel.
Brake pedal free height ªaº from asphalt sheet:
208 ± 218 mm (8.19 ± 8.58 in.)
If the measurement is not within the specification, check the posi-
tion of booster push rod clevis and / or stop light switch according
to the instruction shown in this section.
The free height varies depending on installation position of booster
push rod clevis and stop light switch.
BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH ADJUSTMENT
Adjustment should be made as follows when installing switch. Pull
up brake pedal toward you and while holding it there, adjust switch
position so that clearance between end of thread and brake pedal
return cushion (shown as ªbº in figure).
Then tighten lock nut to specified torque.
Clearance ªbº: 1.5 ± 2.0 mm (0.06 ± 0.08 in.)
Tightening Torque
(b): 7.5 N
.m (0.75 kg-m, 5.5 lb-ft)
EXCESSIVE PEDAL TRAVEL CHECK
1) Remove foot rest and displace carpet and dash silencer(s).
2) Start engine.
3) Depress brake pedal a few times.
4) With brake pedal depressed with approximately 30 kg (66 lbs)
load, measure pedal to asphalt sheet clearance ªcº.
Clearance ªcº: over 115 mm (4.53 in.)
5) If clearance ªcº is less than specification, the most possible
cause is either rear brake shoes are worn out beyond limit or air
is in lines.
Should clearance ªcº remain less than specification even after
replacement of brake shoes and bleeding of system, other pos-
sible but infrequent cause is malfunction of rear brake shoe ad-
justers or booster push rod length out of adjustment.

BRAKE PEDAL PLAY CHECK
Pedal play should be within specification. If out of specification,
check brake light switch for proper installation position and adjust
if necessary.
Also check pedal shaft bolt and master cylinder pin installation for
looseness and replace if defective.
Pedal play ªdº: 1 ± 8 mm (0.04 ± 0.32 in.)
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL CHECK
Be sure to use particular brake fluid either as indicated on reservoir
cap of that vehicle or recommended in owner's manual which
comes along with that vehicle.
Use of any other fluid is strictly prohibited.
Fluid level should be between MIN and MAX lines marked on reser-
voir.
When warning light lights sometimes during driving, replenish fluid
to MAX line.
When fluid decreases quickly, inspect brake system for leakage.
Correct leaky points and then refill to specified level.
CAUTION:
Do not use shock absorber fluid or any other fluid which
contains mineral oil. Do not use a container which has been
used for mineral oil or a container which is wet from water.
Mineral oil will cause swelling and distortion of rubber parts
in hydraulic brake system and water mixed into brake fluid
will lower fluid boiling point. Keep all fluid containers
capped to prevent contamination.
BRAKE HOSE AND PIPE CHECK
The brake hose assembly should be checked for road hazard dam-
age, for cracks and chafing of the outer cover, for leaks and blisters.
A light and mirror may be needed for an adequate inspection. If any
of the above conditions are observed on the brake hose, it is neces-
sary to replace it.
Inspect the pipe for damage, cracks, dents and corrosion. If any de-
fect is found, replace it.
MASTER CYLINDER CHECK
Check for a cracked master cylinder casting or brake fluid around
the master cylinder. Leaks are indicated only if there is at least a
drop of fluid. A damp condition is not abnormal.

5E1-2 ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) (OPTIONAL)
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ABS (Antilock Brake System) controls the fluid pressure applied to the wheel cylinder of each brake from the
master cylinder so that each wheel is not locked even when hard braking is applied. This ABS is a 4-wheel type
which controls the fluid pressure applied to the wheel cylinder of each of the four brakes to prevent each wheel
from getting locked.
The component parts of this ABS includes following parts in addition to those of the conventional brake system.
Wheel speed sensor which senses revolution speed of each wheel and outputs its signal.
In this ABS, ABS hydraulic unit (actuator assembly), ABS control module, pump motor relay and fail-safe relay
are combined as one component.
ABS control module which sends operation signal to ABS hydraulic unit to control fluid pressure applied to each
wheel cylinder based on signal from each wheel speed sensor so as to prevent wheel from locking.
ABS hydraulic unit which operates according to signal from ABS control module to control fluid pressure applied
to wheel cylinder of each of 4 wheels.
Fail-safe (solenoid valve) relay which supplies power to solenoid valve in ABS hydraulic unit and pump motor
relay.
Pump motor relay which supplies power to pump motor in ABS hydraulic unit.
ªABSº warning lamp which lights to inform abnormality when system fails to operate properly.
G sensor which detects body deceleration speed. (For 4WD model only)
This ABS is equipped with Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD) system that controls a fluid pressure of rear
wheels to best condition, which is the same function as that of proportioning valve, by the signal from wheel sensor
independently of change of load due to load capacity and so on. And if the EBD system fails to operate properly,
the brake warning lamp lights to inform abnormality.

ABS HYDRAULIC UNIT/CONTROL MODULE
ASSEMBLY
ABS control module is a component of ABS hydrauli unit / control
module assembly and has the following functions.
Self-Diagnosis Function
ABS control module diagnoses conditions of the system compo-
nent parts (whether or not there is any abnormality) all the time and
indicates the results (warning of abnormality occurrence and DTC)
through the ªABSº warning lamp as described below.
1) When ignition switch is turned ON, ªABSº warning lamp lights for
2 seconds to check its bulb and circuit.
2) When no abnormality has been detected (the system is in good
condition), ªABSº warning lamp turns OFF after 2 seconds.
3) When the vehicle starts to move after the ignition switch is turned
ON (more than one wheel speed sensor signals are inputted),
solenoid valves and motor of ABS hydraulic unit operate once
one after another for electrical check.
During this check, motor operation sound may be heard but that
means nothing abnormal.
4) When an abnormality in the system is detected, ªABSº warning
lamp lights and the area where that abnormality lies is stored in
the memory of EEPROM in ABS control module.
5) When Diag. switch terminal of diagnosis connector (monitor
connector) is grounded, the abnormal area is output as DTC. It
is indicated by flashing of ªABSº warning lamp. (Refer to the
table below. )

Also ABS control module turns ON EBD warning lamp (brake warn-
ing lamp) depending on the trouble that detected by the module and
EBD warning lamp does not indicate DTC as well as ªABSº warning
lamp.
Fail-Safe Function
When an abnormality occurs (an abnormal DTC is detected), ABS
control module turns OFF the fail-safe relay which supplies power
to ABS hydraulic unit. Thus, with ABS not operating, brakes func-
tion just like the brake system of the vehicle not equipped with ABS.

Perform ªDiagnostic Trouble Code Checkº as shown below, record it and then clear it referring to ªDiagnostic
Trouble Code Clearanceº in this section.
If the malfunction DTC which was once displayed and then cleared cannot be detected (indicated) again when
the ignition switch is turned ON, attempt to diagnose the trouble based on the DTC recorded in this step may
mislead the diagnosis or make diagnosing difficult. Proceed to Step 2 to check ABS control module for proper
self-diagnosis function.
If the malfunction DTC which was once displayed and then cleared can be detected (indicated) again when
ignition switch is turned ON, proceed to Step 3.
2. DRIVING TEST
Test drive the vehicle at 40 km / h for more than a minute and check if any trouble symptom (such as abnormal
lighting of ªABSº warning lamp) exists.
If the malfunction DTC is confirmed again at ignition switch ON, driving test as described in above is not neces-
sary. Proceed to Step 3.
3. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHECK
Recheck diagnostic trouble code referring to item ªDTC CHECKº as shown below.
4. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE FLOW CHART
According to Diagnostic flow table for the diagnostic trouble code confirmed in Step 3, locate the cause of the
trouble, namely in a sensor, switch, wire harness, connector, actuator, ABS control module or other part and
repair or replace faulty parts.
5. ªDIAGNOSISº IN ªBRAKEº SECTION
Check the parts or system suspected as a possible cause referring to ªDiagnosisº in ªBRAKESº section and
based on symptoms appearing on the vehicle (symptoms obtained through Steps 1-1, 1-2 and 2 and repair or
replace faulty parts, if any.
6. CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEM
Check parts where an intermittent trouble is easy to occur (e.g., wire harness, connector, etc.), referring to IN-
TERMITTENT TROUBLE in ªGENERAL INFORMATIONº section and related circuit of trouble code recorded
in Step 1-3.
7. FINAL CONFIRMATION TEST
