Internal Hydraulic System Leak Test

ALB Checker Installation:

1. Disconnect the ABS inspection connector (6P) from the cover cross member under the passenger's seat and connect the ABS inspection connector (6P) to the ALB checker.

CAUTION: Place the vehicle on level ground with the wheels blocked. Put the transmission in neutral for manual transmission models, and in park position for automatic transmission models.

2. Remove the modulator reservoir filter, then fill the reservoir to the MAX level line.

NOTE: Do not reuse aerated brake fluid that has been bled from the power unit.

T-Wrench For Reservoir Brake Fluid Draining:

3. Bleed high pressure fluid from the maintenance bleeder with the special tool.
4. Start the engine and release the parking brake.
5. Turn the Mode Selector to 1 and press the Start Test button.

ABS Separator Checking:

6. While the ABS pump is running, place your finger over the top of the separator in the modulator reservoir.

^ If you can feel brake fluid coming from the separator, one of the solenoids is leaking. Go to step 7.
^ If you can't feel brake fluid coming from the separator, the solenoids are OK. Reinstall the modulator reservoir filter and refill the reservoir to the MAX level line.

7. Bleed high-pressure fluid from the maintenance bleeder with the special tool, then run through modes 3, 4 and 5 with the ALB Checker. Repeat this three or four times.
8. Repeat steps 5 and 6.

^ If the solenoid leakage has stopped, reinstall the modulator reservoir filter and refill the reservoir to the MAX level line.
^ If one of the solenoids is still leaking, replace the modulator.
