ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)

35B-127

CAUTION

• The roller of the braking force tester and the tire should

be dry during testing.

• When testing the front brakes, apply the parking brake.

When testing the rear brakes, stop the front wheels
with chocks.

1. Jack up the vehicle. Then support the vehicle with rigid

racks at the specified jack-up points or place the front or rear
wheels on the rollers of the braking force tester.

2. Release the parking brake, and feel the drag force (drag

torque) on each road wheel. When using the braking force
tester, take a reading of the brake drag force.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position and

set scan tool MB991958 as shown in the illustration.

4. After checking that the selector lever is in neutral, start the

engine.

5. Use scan tool MB991958 to force-drive the actuator.

NOTE: The ABS system will switch to the scan tool mode
and the ABS warning light will illuminate.
NOTE: When the ABS has been interrupted by the fail-safe
function, scan tool MB991958 actuator testing cannot be
used.

6. Turn the wheel by hand and check the change in braking

force when the brake pedal is depressed. When using the
braking force tester, depress the brake pedal until the
braking force is at the following values, and check that the
braking force changes to the brake drag force instep 2 when
the actuator is force-driven. The result should be as shown
in the diagram above.

Front wheel: 785

− 981 N (176 − 220 lb)

Rear wheel: 785

− 981 N (176 − 220 lb)

7. If the result of inspection is abnormal, repair according to the

Diagnosis Table below.

8. After inspection, disconnect the scan tool immediately after

turning the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

SOLENOID VALVE CHECK

M1352010700123

Measure the resistance between the following solenoid valve
terminals.

• Control solenoid valve IN (FR): Between terminals (19) −

(34)

• Control solenoid valve OUT (FR): Between terminals (20) −

(34)

• Control solenoid valve IN (FL): Between terminals (21) −

(34)

• Control solenoid valve OUT (FL): Between terminals (22) −

(34)

• Control solenoid valve IN (RR): Between terminals (15) −

(34)

• Control solenoid valve OUT (RR): Between terminals (16) −

(34)

• Control solenoid valve IN (RL): Between terminals (13) −

(34)

• Control solenoid valve OUT (RL): Between terminals (14) −

(34)

• Select solenoid valve (FR): Between terminals (18) − (34)

• Select solenoid valve (FL): Between terminals (17) − (34)

Standard value:
Control solenoid valve IN: 4.75

− 5.25 Ω

Control solenoid valve OUT: 2.0

− 2.4 Ω

Select solenoid valve: 3.5

− 3.9 Ω

REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS

.

<<A>> FRONT ABS SENSOR REMOVAL
1. Remove the three splash shield clips and the two bolts

shown in the illustration, and then disconnect the front ABS
sensor connector.

CAUTION

Be careful when handling the projection at the tip of the
ABS sensor and the toothed edge of the ABS rotor so as
not to damage them by contacting other parts.
2. Remove the front ABS sensor.

.

<<B>> REAR ABS SENSOR REMOVAL

CAUTION

Be careful when handling the projection at the tip of the
ABS sensor and the toothed edge of the ABS rotor so as
not to damage them by contacting other parts.

INSPECTION

M1352008400318

.

ABS SENSOR CHECK
1. Check whether any metallic foreign material has adhered to

the projection at the ABS sensor tip. Remove any foreign
material. Also check whether the pole piece is damaged.
Replace it with a new one if it is damaged.
NOTE: The projection can become magnetized due to the
magnet inside the ABS sensor, causing foreign material to
easily adhere to it. The projection may not be able to cor-
rectly sense the wheel rotation speed if foreign matter is on
it or if it is damaged.

2. Measure the resistance between the ABS sensor terminals.

Standard value: 1.0

− 1.5 kΩ

3. If the internal resistance of the ABS sensor is not within the

standard value, replace it with a new ABS sensor.
