Test A-5: Braking Sound From Hydraulic Unit (Brakes Released)
NOTE:
A sound may be heard from hydraulic unit the first time vehicle begins to move forward after engine start, or when moving slower than 6 MPH. Sound is caused by ABS self-check and is normal operation. Also, ABS may operate without depressing brake pedal under certain conditions such as: clutch operation, high-speed turns, poor road conditions, when entering a driveway, or during excessive engine RPM (greater than 5000 RPM).
- If sound is heard after vehicle starts to move and is not the first engine start, or when vehicle speed is greater than 6 MPH, go to next step.
- Check wheel speed sensor and toothed ring condition. Check for looseness or powdered iron sticking to components. Repair as necessary. If no problem is found, go to next step.
- Check wheel speed sensor output. See TEST C-1: SENSOR OUTPUT INSPECTION under COMPONENT TESTS. Repair as necessary. If wheel speed sensors and harnesses are okay, replace EHCU.
