Brake Actuator: Removal

NOTE: While the battery is connected, even if the engine switch is off, the brake control system activates when the brake pedal is depressed or the door courtesy switch turns on. Therefore during servicing of the brake system components, do not operate the brake pedal and open/ close the doors while the battery is connected.

  13. REMOVE COWL TOP VENTILATOR LOUVER SUB-ASSEMBLY  (See REMOVAL )
  14. PERFORM ACCUMULATOR PRESSURE ZERO DOWN 
    CAUTION: Be sure to perform this procedure before removing the brake actuator and brake accumulator pump.
    1. Connect the intelligent tester or Techstream to the DLC3 with the engine switch off.
    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    3. Turn the intelligent tester or Techstream ON and perform accumulator zero down by following the prompts displayed on the intelligent tester or Techstream.

      HINT:

      • Intelligent tester - select: DIAGNOSIS / ABS/ VSC / ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED BRAKE SYSTEM UTILITY / ZERO DOWN.
      • Techstream - select: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRC / Utility / Electronically Controlled Brake system Utility / Zero Down.
    4. When the buzzer sounds, turn the engine switch off.
      NOTE: Do not push the engine switch on (IG). If the engine switch is pushed on (IG), the brake accumulator pump operates so that the brake accumulator is accumulated with brake fluid.
  15. DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL 
    CAUTION: Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to prevent airbag and seat belt pretensioner activation.
    NOTE: After the engine switch is turned off, the HDD navigation system requires approximately 6 minutes to record various types of memory and settings. As a result, after turning the engine switch off, wait 6 minutes or more before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.
  16. DRAIN BRAKE FLUID 
    NOTE: If brake fluid leaks onto any painted surface, wash or remove it completely.
  17. REMOVE SKID CONTROL ECU (See  REMOVAL   ) 
  18. REMOVE SKID CONTROL ECU BRACKET (See  REMOVAL   )
