Hydraulic Control Assembly - Antilock Brakes: Testing and Inspection

HYDRAULIC UNIT CHECK

Required Special Tools:

- MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)
- MB991824: Vehicle Communication Interface (V.C.I.)
- MB991827: M.U.T.-III USB Cable
- MB991910: M.U.T.-III Main Harness A

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.





3.
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.

Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
4. After checking that the neutral position [M/T] or selector lever is in "P" range [A/T], start the engine.
5. Select "System Select."
6. Choose "ABS/ASC/ASTC."
7. Select "Actuator Test" from "ABS/ASC/ASTC" screen
8. Choose an appropriate item for hydraulic unit check.
NOTE:
The TCL/ASC system will switch to the scan tool mode and the ABS warning light, TCL/ASC work indicator and ASC OFF indicator will illuminates.

NOTE:
When the ABS and TCL/ASC has been interrupted by the fail-safe function, scan tool MB991958 actuator testing cannot be used.

9. 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 reading taken in step 2 when the actuator is force-driven. The result should be as shown in the diagram above.





10. If the result of inspection is abnormal, repair according to the Diagnosis Table below.





11. After inspection, disconnect scan tool MB991958 immediately after turning the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
