With VDC

INSPECTION
1. Check the condition of connection and settlement of connector.
2. Check the mark used for VDCCM&H/U identification.
Refer to "SPECIFICATION" for the identification mark.





CHECKING THE HYDRAULIC UNIT VDC OPERATION USING A PRESSURE GAUGE
1. Lift up the vehicle, and remove the wheels.
2. Remove the air bleeder screws from FL and FR caliper bodies.
3. Connect two pressure gauges to FL and FR caliper bodies.

CAUTION:
^ Use a pressure gauge used exclusively for brake fluid measurement.
^ Do not use a pressure gauge used for the measuring transmission oil pressure, as the piston seal may expand and deform.


NOTE: Wrap sealing tape around the pressure gauge.





4. Bleed air from the pressure gauge.
5. Perform VDC sequence control.
6. When the hydraulic unit begins to work, first the FL side performs compression, hold, and decompression, and then the FR side performs compression, hold, and decompression.
7. Read values indicated on the pressure gauge and check if the fluctuation of the values between decompression and compression meets specification. Depress the brake pedal and check that it is not abnormally hard, and tightness is normal.





8. Disconnect the pressure gauges from FL and FR caliper bodies.
9. Install the air bleeder screws of FL and FR caliper bodies.
10. Remove the air bleeder screws from RL and RR caliper bodies.
11. Connect two pressure gauges to RL and RR caliper bodies.
12. Bleed air from RL and RR caliper bodies, and pressure gauge.
13. Perform VDC sequence control.
14. When the hydraulic unit begins to work, first the RR side performs compression, hold, and decompression, and then the RL side performs compression, hold, and decompression.
15. Read the values indicated on the pressure gauges and check if it is within specification. Depress the brake pedal and check that it is not abnormally hard, and tightness is normal.
16. Disconnect the pressure gauge from the RL and RR caliper bodies.
17. Install the air bleeder screws of RL and RR caliper bodies.
18. Bleed air from the brake line.

CHECK HYDRAULIC UNIT VDC OPERATION WITH BRAKE TESTER
1. Set wheels other than the one to measure on free rollers.
2. Prepare to operate the VDC sequence control.
3. Set the front wheels or rear wheels on the brake tester and set the select lever position to the "N" range.





4. Operate the brake tester.
5. Perform VDC sequence control.
6. When the hydraulic unit begins to work, check the following work sequence.
1. The FL wheel performs compression, hold and decompression in sequence, and subsequently the FR wheel repeats the cycle.
2. The RR wheel performs compression, hold and decompression in sequence, and subsequently the RL wheel repeats the cycle.
7. Read values indicated on the brake tester and check if the fluctuation of the values between decompression and compression meets specification.





8. After the inspection, depress the brake pedal and check that it is not abnormally hard, and tightness is normal.
