ANTI-SKID BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)

35B-59

CAUTION

For precise measurement, do not connect to the 
wheel speed sensor-side connector and the wir-
ing harness side connector terminal No.1.

2. Use the special tool test harness (MB991709) to 

connect a multimeter between the wheel speed 
sensor-side connector and the wiring harness 
connector terminal No.2.

3. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

CAUTION

Do not rotate the wheel too quickly. Output cur-
rent changes significantly as the wheel speed 
detection magnetic encoder comes near or goes 
away from the wheel speed sensor.

4. Rotate the wheel, on which the wheel speed 

sensor is fitted, quite slowly to measure the output 
current with the multimeter.

Standard value: 5.9 to 8.4 mA or 11.8 to 16.8 
mA

5. If the measurement is not within the standard 

value, or the output current does not change in 
proportion to the wheel rotation, replace the wheel 
speed sensor (Refer to 

P.35B-63

 <Front>, 

P.35B-65

 <Rear>).

HYDRAULIC UNIT CHECK

M1352001701184

1. Raise the vehicle using a jack and support the 

specified points with a rigid rack.

CAUTION

Before connecting or disconnecting M.U.T.-III, 
always turn the ignition switch to the LOCK 
(OFF) position.

2. Before setting M.U.T.-III, turn the ignition key to 

the LOCK (OFF) position.

3. Confirm that the selector lever is in the "N" 

position, and then start the engine.

4. When carrying out the actuator tests No. 01 to 04, 

perform the actuator tests using M.U.T.-III while 
depressing the brake pedal. When carrying out 
the actuator tests, rotate the wheel by hands to 
confirm that the braking force changes.

NOTE: 

.

•

While performing the actuator test, the ABS 
warning lamp flashes at a rate of 2 Hz.

•

When ABS-ECU is disabled due to the 
fail-safe function, the M.U.T.-III actuator test 
cannot be performed.

•

After the actuator test has been performed, 
the ABS warning lamp and brake waning lamp 
illuminate until the ignition switch is turned to 
ON again or the communication between 
M.U.T.-III and ABS-ECU is terminated.

• Depress the brake 

pedal to lock the 
vehicle.

• Select the vehicle 

to be inspected 
using M.U.T.-III, 
perform the 
actuator test.

• Rotate the selected 

wheel by hands to 
confirm the braking 
force.

decreases for 3 
seconds from 
the lock status.

Error

Clogged brake line 
other than hydraulic 
unit

Check and 
clean the brake 
line.

Clogged hydraulic 
circuit in the hydraulic 
unit

Replace the 
hydraulic unit 
assembly.

Braking force 
does not 
decrease.

Faulty routing of 
hydraulic unit brake 
tube

Route the 
brake tube 
correctly.

Malfunction of 
hydraulic unit solenoid 
valve operation

Replace the 
hydraulic unit 
assembly.

7. After the inspection, turn the ignition switch to the 

LOCK (OFF) position, and then disconnect 
M.U.T.-III.

Hydraulic unit installation adjustment

Operate the pre-removal steps for the hydraulic unit. 

(Refer to 

P.35B-61

.)

1. Remove all brake tubes.

2. Loosen the mounting bolt and nut of the hydraulic 

unit bracket.

3. Install all brake tubes temporarily.

4. Shake hydraulic unit to all directions with both 

hands to make the hydraulic unit bracket insulator 
fit with the unit.

5. Install the hydraulic unit bracket with mounting 

bolt and nut not to load the brake tube.

6. Install all brake tubes securely.

NOTE: Install the flare nut taking care not to let 
the brake tube turn together.

7. Operate the post-installation steps of the hydraulic 

unit. (Refer to 

P.35B-61

.)

IN THE EVENT OF A DISCHARGED 
BATTERY

M1352003500785

WARNING

If the ABS is not operating, the vehicle pos-
ture will be unstable during braking, Do not 
drive the vehicle with the ABS-ECU connec-
tor disconnected or with the ABS not operat-
ing for any other reason.

If the engine is started using a booster cable when 
the battery is completely flat, and the vehicle is then 
driven without waiting for the battery to be recharged, 
the engine may misfire and it may not be possible to 
drive the vehicle. This is because the ABS consumes 
a large amount of current when carrying out its initial 
checks. If this happens, recharge the battery fully.

CAUTION

• Be careful when removing the hydraulic unit 

because it is heavy.

• Never loosen the nuts and the bolts because 

the hydraulic unit cannot be disassembled.

• Do not drop or shock the hydraulic unit.
• Do not turn the hydraulic unit upside down or 

lay down the unit because the inner air
