Modulator Function Check
NOTE: This inspection determines whether the basic
brake system continues to operate normally when the
modulator unit high-pressure side is low.
1. Relieve system pressure (see page 19-97).
NOTE: After relieving, tighten the bleeder to 11 N-m
(1.1 kgf-m, 8 Ibf-ft).
2. Raise the vehicle off the ground.
3. Have an assistant depress the brake pedal firmly, and
check that the wheels do not rotate. If the wheels
rotate, replace the modulator unit.
4. Start the engine to operate the pump motor, then
add brake fluid as needed.
NOTE:
If the reservoir empties, bleed the high-pressure
brake fluid.
If the pump motor operates for 40 seconds or
more, the indicator light comes on, and the
pump motor stops. Stop and restart the engine
to operate the pump motor again.
If the ABS indicator light comes on, remove the
ABS B2 (15 A) fuse for 3 seconds or more to
erase the DTC after servicing.
5. After the pump motor stops, refill the reservoir to
the MAX line.
6. After servicing, make sure the ABS indicator light
goes off.
