REPLACEMENT
1. REMOVE FRONT WHEEL
Remove the wheel and temporarily fasten the disc with the hub
nuts.
2. INSPECT PAD LINING THICKNESS
Check the pad thickness through the caliper inspection hole

(a) Remove the flexible hose from the shock absorber brack-
et.
(b) Hold the sliding pin on the bottom and loosen the installa-
tion bolt.
(c) Remove the installation bolt.
(d) Lift up the caliper and suspend it securely.
HINT:
Do not disconnect the flexible hose from the caliper.

ON−VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. INSPECT BATTERY POSITIVE VOLTAGE
Battery positive voltage: 10 −14 V
2. DISCONNECT CONNECTORS
(a) Disconnect the 2 connectors from the control relay.
(b) Disconnect the connector from, the actuator.
3. CONNECT ACTUATOR CHECKER (SST) TO ACTUA-
TOR
(a) Connect the actuator checker (SST) to the actuator, con-
trol relay and body side wire harness through the sub−
wire harness C and I (SST) as shown.
SST 09990−00150, 09990−00200, 09990−00300
(b) Connect the red cable of the checker to the battery posi-
tive (+) terminal and black cable to the negative (−) termi-
nal. Connect the black cable of the sub−wire harness to
the battery negative (−) terminal or body ground.

4. INSPECT BRAKE ACTUATOR OPERATION OF
FRONT RH WHEEL
(a) Start the engine, and run it at idle.
(b) Turn the selector switch of the actuator checker to
”FRONT RH” position.
(c) Push and hold in the MOTOR switch for a few seconds.
Make sure that you can hear the motor running.
(d) Depress the brake pedal and hold it for about 15 seconds,
and check that the brake pedal does not go down.
(e) With your foot still applying onto the brake pedal, push
MOTOR switch and check that the pedal does not pul-
sate.
(f) Depress the brake pedal and hold it. As you hold the ped-
al down, push and hold in the POWER SWITCH for a few
seconds. Check that the pedal does not go down.
NOTICE:
Do not keep the POWER SWITCH pushed for more than 10
seconds.
(g) With your foot still applying onto the brake pedal, release
the POWER SWITCH and check that the pedal goes
down.
(h) With your foot still applying onto the brake pedal, push the
MOTOR switch and check that the brake pedal returns.
(i) Release the brake pedal.
5. INSPECT FRONT LH WHEEL
(a) Turn the selector switch to ”REAR RH” position.
(b) Repeating (c) to (i) in the step 4, check the actuator oper-
ating similarly.
6. INSPECT REAR RH WHEEL
(a) Turn the selector switch to ”FRONT LH” position.
(b) Repeating (c) to (i) in the step 4, check the actuator opera-
tion similarly.

7. INSPECT REAR LH WHEEL
Repeating (c) to (i) in the step 4, check the actuator operation
similarly.
HINT:
When inspecting the ”REAR LH” position, push the REAR LH
switch instead of the POWER SWITCH. This makes it possible
to inspect wherever the selector switch position indicates.
8. PUSH MOTOR SWITCH
(a) Push and hold in the MOTOR switch for a few seconds.
(b) Stop the engine.
9. DISCONNECT ACTUATOR CHECKER (SST) FROM
ACTUATOR
Remove the ”SHEET A” (SST) and disconnect the actuator
checker (SST) and sub−wire harness (SST) from the actuator,
control relay and body side wire harness.
