Step

Value

Yes

No

1

CHECK WHEELS FOR FREE TURNING.
Have wheels been turned freely for more than 
one minute, such as when the vehicle is 
jacked-up, under full-lock cornering or when 
tire is not in contact with road surface.

Wheels have not turned freely. Go to step 2.

The ABS is nor-
mal. Erase the 
diagnostic trouble 
code.

NOTE:
When the wheels
turn freely for a
long time, such as
when the vehicle is
towed or jacked-
up, or when steer-
ing wheel is contin-
uously turned all
the way, this trou-
ble code may
sometimes occur.

2

CHECK TIRE SPECIFICATIONS.
Turn ignition switch to OFF.
Are the tire specifications correct?

Correct specification.

Go to step 3.

Replace tire.

3

CHECK WEAR OF TIRE.
Is the tire worn excessively?

Not worn excessively.

Go to step 4.

Replace tire.

4

CHECK TIRE PRESSURE.
Is the tire pressure correct?

Correct tire pressure.

Go to step 5.

Adjust tire pres-
sure.

5

CHECK INSTALLATION OF ABS SENSOR.
Are the ABS sensor installation bolts tightened 
with the specified torque?

33

±

10 N·m (3.4

±

1.0 kgf-m, 

25

±

7 ft-lb)

Go to step 6.

Tighten ABS sen-
sor installation 
bolts securely.

6

CHECK ABS SENSOR GAP.
Measure tone wheel to ABS sensor piece gap 
over entire perimeter of the wheel.
Is the measured value within the specified 
range?

Front wheel 0.3 — 0.8 mm 
(0.012 — 0.031 in) and Rear 
wheel 0.44 — 0.94 mm 
(0.0173 — 0.0370 in)

Go to step 7.

Adjust the gap.

NOTE:
Adjust the gap us-
ing spacer (Part
No. 26755AA000).
If spacers cannot
correct the gap, re-
place worn sensor
or worn tone
wheel.

7

PREPARE OSCILLOSCOPE.
Is an oscilloscope available?

Available.

Go to step 8.

Go to step 9.
