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.

REFRIGERANT RECOVERY, EVACUATION AND CHARGING
WARNING:

Your eyes should not be exposed to refrigerant (liquid).
Any liquid Refrigerant-134a escaping by accident shows a temperature as low as approx. ± 6C
(42.8F) below freezing point. Should liquid HFC-134a (R-134a) get into your eyes, it may cause a seri-
ous injury. To protect your eyes against such accident, it is necessary to always wear goggles. Should
it occur that HFC-134a (R-134a) strikes your eye(s), consult a doctor immediately.
± DO NOT USE YOUR HAND TO RUB THE AFFECTED EYE(S). INSTEAD, use quantities of fresh cold
water to splash it over the affected area to gradually raise temperature of such area above freezing
point.
± Obtain proper treatment as soon as possible from a doctor or eye specialist.

Should the HFC-134a (R-134a) liquid come into contact with your skin, the affected area should be
treated in the same manner as when skin is frostbitten or frozen.

Refrigerant must not be handled near where welding or steam cleaning is performed.

Refrigerant should be kept at a cold and dark place. It should never be stored where a high tempera-
ture is anticipated, e.g. where exposed to direct sun light, close to fire or inside vehicle (including
trunk room).

Avoid breathing fumes produced when HFC-134a (R-134a) is burned. Such fumes may be hazardous
to health.

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
WARNING:
Should refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) strike your eye(s), consult a doctor immediately.

DO NOT USE YOUR HAND TO RUB AFFECTED EYE(S).
Instead, use quantities of fresh cold water to splash it over affected area to thus gradually raise its
temperature above the freezing point.

Obtain proper treatment as soon as possible from a doctor or eye specialist.
Should liquid refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) get on your skin, such affected part should be treated
in the same manner as when skin is frostbitten or frozen.
CAUTION:
None of refrigerant, compressor oil and component parts is interchangeable between two types of A / C:
one using CFC-12 (R-12) and the other using HFC-134a (R-134a).
(For identification between these two types, refer to page 1B-2).
When replenishing or changing refrigerant and compressor oil and when replacing parts, make sure
that the material or the part to be used is appropriate to the A / C installed in the vehicle being serviced.
Use of incorrect one will result in leakage of refrigerant, damage in parts or other faulty condition.
PRECAUTION
When servicing air conditioning system, the following rules must be observed.
PIPING

When connecting hoses and pipes, apply a few drops of compressor oil (refrigerant oil) to seats of coupling nuts
and O-ring.

Never use heat for bending pipes. When bending a pipe, try to make its bending radius as slight as possible.

Keep internal parts of air conditioning free from moisture and dirt. When disconnecting any line from system,
install a blind plug or cap to the fitting immediately.

When tightening or loosening a fitting, use two wrenches, one for turning and the other for support.

TIRE
MOUNTING AND DEMOUNTING
Use tire changing machine to mount or demount tires. Follow equip-
ment manufacturer's instructions. Do not use hand tools or tire
irons alone to change tires as they may damage tire beads or wheel
rim.
Rim bead seats should be cleaned with wire brush or coarse steel
wool to remove lubricants, old rubber and light rust. Before mount-
ing or demounting tire, bead area should be well lubricated with ap-
proved tire lubricant.
After mounting, inflate to 240 kPa (35psi) so that beads are com-
pletely seated. Then adjust pressure to specified shown an tire
placard.
WARNING:
Do not stand over tire when inflating. Bead may break when
bead snaps over rim's safety hump and cause serious per-
sonal injury.
Do not exceed 240 kPa (35 psi) pressure when inflating. If
240 kPa (35 psi) pressure will not seat beads, deflate, re-lu-
bricate and reinflate. Over inflation may cause bead to break
and cause serious personal injury.
Install valve core and inflate to proper pressure.
TIRE REPAIR
There are many different materials and techniques on the market
to repair tires. As not all of these work on all types of tires, tire
manufacturers have published detailed instructions on how and
when to repair tires. These instructions can be obtained from the
tire manufacturer.

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.

5E1-6 ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) (OPTIONAL)
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.
