MPV ES V6-2.5L DOHC (2001)
Hydraulic Control Assembly - Antilock Brakes: Testing and Inspection
ABS HYDRAULIC UNIT (HU)/CONTROL MODULE (CM) SYSTEM INSPECTION
Preparation
1. Verify that the battery is fully charged. With the ignition switch on, verify that the ABS and BRAKE system warning lights goes out after 3
seconds.
2. If the lights stays on after 3 seconds, the ABS HU/CM detects a failure. Follow the troubleshooting procedures.
3. Turn the ignition switch off.
4. On level ground, jack up the vehicle and support it evenly on safety stands. Shift the transaxle to N position.
5. Release the parking brake.
6. Rotate the wheels by hand, and inspect for brake drag.
Using the SSTs
1. Perform the "Preparation".
2. Connect the SSTs (NGS tester) to the data link connector-2 (DLC-2).
Note: Follow the order in the SST (NGS) instruction manual.
3. Set up an active command mode inspection according to the combination of commands below.
The chart above shows an example of a right wheel inspection.
4. Send the command while pressing on the brake pedal and attempting to rotate the wheel being inspected.
5. When pressure is being maintained, and click sound indicating the solenoid is operating comes from the ABS HU/CM, confirm that the wheel does
not rotate. When pressure is being reduced, and click sound indicating the solenoid is operating comes from the ABS HU/CM, confirm that the
wheel rotates, even though the brake pedal is being depressed.
Note:
-
When working with two people, one should press on the brake pedal, the other should attempt to rotate the wheel being inspected.
-
To protect the ABS HU/CM, the solenoid valve used for simulations and the ABS motor stay on for 10 seconds each time they are switched
on.
-
Performing the inspections above determines the following.
-
The ABS HU/CM brake lines are normal.
-
The ABS HU/CM hydraulic system is not significantly abnormal.
-
The ABS HU/CM wiring is normal.
-
However, the following items cannot be checked.
-
ABS HU/CM input system harness and parts
-
Extremely small leaks in the ABS HU/CM internal hydraulic system
-
Unusual intermittent occurrences in the above items 1 through 3
Without using the SSTs
1. Perform the "Preparation".
