0A-6 GENERAL INFORMATION
CAUTION:
Even when the accident was light enough not to cause air
bags to activate, be sure to inspect system parts and other
related parts according to instructions under ªRepair and
Inspection Required after an Accidentº in SECTION 10B.
When servicing parts other than air bag system, if shocks
may be applied to air bag system component parts, re-
move those parts beforehand.
When handling the air bag (inflator) modules (driver and
passenger), seat belt pretensioners (driver and passen-
ger) or SDM, be careful not to drop it or apply an impact to
it. If an excessive impact was applied (e.g., dropped from
a height of 91.4 cm (3 feet) or more), never attempt disas-
sembly or repair but replace it with a new one.
When grease, cleaning agent, oil, water, etc. has got onto
air bag (inflator) modules (driver and passenger) or seat
belt pretensioners (drive and passenger), wipe off im-
mediately with a dry cloth.
Air bag wire harness can be identified easily as it is cov-
ered with a yellow protection tube. Be very careful when
handling it.
When an open in air bag wire harness, damaged wire har-
ness, connector or terminal is found, replace wire har-
ness, connectors and terminals as an assembly.
Do not apply power to the air bag system unless all com-
ponents are connected or a diagnostic chart requests it,
as this will set a diagnostic trouble code.
Never use air bag system component parts from another
vehicle.
When using electric welding, be sure to temporarily dis-
able air bag system referring to ªDisabling Air Bag Sys-
temº described in ªService Precautionsº under ªOn-Ve-
hicle Serviceº in SECTION 10B.
Never expose air bag system component parts directly to
hot air (drying or baking the vehicle after painting) or
flames.
WARNING / CAUTION labels are attached on each part of
air bag system components. Be sure to follow the instruc-
tions.
After vehicle is completely repaired, perform ªAir Bag
Diagnostic System Checkº described in ªDiagnosisº in
SECTION 10B.

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. )

For procedure to clear all DTC's, refer to the item ªDiagnostic
Trouble Code Clearanceº in this section.
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.
