CAUTION: Always use the correct fastener in the proper location. When you replace a fastener, use ONLY
the exact part number for that application. ISUZU will call out those fasteners that require a replacement
after removal. ISUZU will also call out the fasteners that require thread lockers or thread sealant. UNLESS
OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not use supplemental coatings (Paints, greases, or other corrosion inhibitors)
on threaded fasteners or fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely affect the fastener
torque and the joint clamping force, and may damage the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the
correct tightening sequence and specifications. Following these instructions can help you avoid damage to
parts and systems.

The Anti-lock Brake System consists of a Electronic
Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU), four Wheel Speed
Sensors and Warning Light.
Electronic Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU)
The EHCU consists of Electronic Brake Control
Module (EBCM) and Hydraulic Unit (HU).
The EHCU is located at the frame side, in front of rear
spring bracket.
The EHCU consists of ABS control circuits, fault
detector, and a fail-safe. It drives the hydraulic unit
according to the signal from each sensor, cancelling
ABS to return to normal braking when a malfunction
has occurred in the ABS.
The EHCU is self-diagnosing function which can
indicate faulty circuits during diagnosis.

ABS Warning Light
Vehicles equipped with the Anti-lock Brake System
has an amber “ABS” warning light in the instrument
panel. The “ABS” warning light will illuminate if a
malfunction in the Anti-lock Brake System is detected
by the Electronic Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU). In
case of an electronic malfunction, the EHCU will turn
“ON” the “ABS” warning light and disable the Anti-lock
braking function.
The “ABS” light will turn “ON” for 2 seconds after the
ignition switch is to the “ON” position, and then will go
out.
If the “ABS” light comes “ON” and stays “ON” while
driving, the Anti-lock Brake System should be
inspected for a malfunction according to the diagnosis
procedure.
NOTE:
When disconnecting harness connector from EHCU,
push the tang lock of the connector (
release the tang lock. Then move the lever.
portion) and
Hydraulic Unit (HU)
It consists of a Motor, Plunger Pump, Solenoid Valves
and Check Valve.
Solenoid Valves: Reduces or holds the caliper fluid
pressure for each front disc brake or both rear drum
brakes according to the signal sent from the EHCU.
Reservoir: Temporarily holds the brake fluid that
returns from the front and rear wheel brake so that
pressure of front wheel brake can be reduced
smoothly.
Plunger Pump: Feeds the brake fluid held in the
reservoir to the master cylinder.
Motor: Drives the pump according to the signal from
EHCU. Check Valve: Controls the brake fluid flow.
Wheel Speed Sensor
It consists of a sensor and a rotor. The sensor is
attached to the knuckle on the front wheels and to the
bracket on the brake back plate on the rear wheels.
The front speed sensor is coil type and rear is Hall IC
type.
The sensor rotors press-fitted to front and rear wheel
hubs output pulse frequency depending on wheel
rotation.
The speed sensors find vehicle speed from its
frequency.
Normal and Anti-lock Braking
Under normal driving conditions, the Anti-lock Brake
System functions the same as a standard power
assisted brake system. However, with the detection of
wheel lock-up, a slight bump or kick-back will be felt in
the brake pedal. This pedal “bump” will be followed by
a series of short pedal pulsations which occurs in rapid
succession. The brake pedal pulsation will continue
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) 5A4-7
until there is no longer a need for the anti-lock function
or until the vehicle is stopped. A slight ticking or
popping noise may be heard during brake applications
when the Anti-lock features is being used.
When the Anti-lock feature is being used, the brake
pedal may rise even as the brakes are being applied.
This is also normal. Maintaining a consist force on the
pedal will provide the shortest stopping distance.
Brake Pedal Travel
Vehicles equipped with the Anti-lock Brake System
may be stopped by applying normal force to the brake
pedal. Although there is no need to push the pedal
beyond the point where it stops or holds the vehicle, by
applying more force the pedal will continue to travel
toward the floor.
This extra brake pedal travel is normal.

General Diagnosis
General Information
ABS malfunction can be classified into two types,
those which can be detected by the ABS warning light
and those which can be detected as a vehicle
abnormality by the driver.
In either case, locate the fault in accordance with the
“BASIC DIAGNOSTIC FLOWCHART” and repair.
Please refer to Section 5A for the diagnosis of
mechanical troubles such as brake noise, brake judder
(brake pedal or vehicle vibration felt when braking),
uneven braking, and parking brake trouble.
ABS Service Precautions
Required Tools and Items:
• Box Wrench
• Brake Fluid
• Special Tool
Some diagnosis procedures in this section require the
installation of a special tool.
5-8840-0285-0 (J-39200) High Impedance
Multimeter
When circuit measurements are requested, use a
circuit tester with high impedance.
Computer System Service Precautions
The Anti-lock Brake System interfaces directly with the
Electronic Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU) which is a
control computer that is similar in some regards to the
Engine Control Module. These modules are designed
to withstand normal current draws associated with
vehicle operation. However, care must be taken to
avoid overloading any of the EHCU circuits. In testing
for opens or shorts, do not ground or apply voltage to
any of the circuits unless instructed to do so by the
appropriate diagnostic procedure. These circuits
should only be tested with a high impedance
multimeter 5-8840-0285-0 (J-39200) or special tools
as described in this section. Power should never be
removed or applied to any control module with the
ignition in the “ON” position. Before removing or
connecting battery cables, fuses or connectors, always
turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” position.
5A4-8 ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)
General Service Precautions
The following are general precautions which should be
observed when servicing and diagnosing the Anti-lock
Brake System and/or other vehicle systems. Failure to
observe these precautions may result in Anti-lock
Brake System damage.
• If welding work is to be performed on the vehicle
using an electric arc welder, the EHCU connector
should be disconnected before the welding
operation begins.
• The EHCU connector should never be connected
or disconnected with the ignition “ON”.
• The EHCU is not separately serviceable and must
be replaced as assemblies. Do not disassemble
any component which is designated as nonserviceable in this Section.
• If only rear wheels are rotated using jacks or drum
tester, the system will diagnose a speed sensor
malfunction and the “ABS” warning light will
illuminate. But actually no trouble exists. After
inspection stop the engine once and re-start it, then
make sure that the “ABS” warning light does not
illuminate.
If the battery has been discharged
The engine may stall if the battery has been
completely discharged and the engine is started via
jumper cables. This is because the Anti-lock Brake
System (ABS) requires a large quantity of electricity. In
this case, wait until the battery is recharged, or set the
ABS to a non-operative state by removing the fuse for
the ABS. After the battery has been recharged, stop
the engine and install the ABS fuse. Start the engine
again, and confirm that the ABS warning light does not
light.
Note on Intermittents
As with virtually any electronic system, it is difficult to
identify an intermittent failure. In such a case
duplicating the system malfunction during a test drive
or a good description of vehicle behavior from the
customer may be helpful in locating a “most likely”
failed component or circuit. The symptom diagnosis
chart may also be useful in isolating the failure. Most
intermittent problems are caused by faulty electrical
connections or wiring. When an intermittent failure is
encountered, check suspect circuits for:
• Suspected harness damage.
• Poor mating of connector halves or terminals not
fully seated in the connector body (backed out).
• Improperly formed or damaged terminals.
Test Driving ABS Complaint Vehicles
In case that there has been an malfunction in the
lighting pattern of “ABS” warning light, the fault can be
located in accordance with the “DIAGNOSIS BY “ABS”
WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATION PATTERN”. In
case of such trouble as can be detected by the driver
as a vehicle symptom, however, it is necessary to give
a test drive following the test procedure mentioned
below, thereby reproducing the symptom for trouble
diagnosis on a symptom basis:
1. Start the engine and make sure that the “ABS” W/L
goes OFF. If the W/L remains ON, it means that
the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is stored.
Therefore, read the code and locate the fault.
2. Start the vehicle and accelerate to about 30km/h
(19 mph) or more.
3. Slowly brake and stop the vehicle completely.
4. Then restart the vehicle and accelerate to about 40
km/h (25 mph) or more.
5. Brake at a time so as to actuate the ABS and stop
the vehicle.
6. Be cautious of abnormality during the test. If the
W/L is actuated while driving, read the DTC and
locate the fault.
7. If the abnormality is not reproduced by the test,
make best efforts to reproduce the situation
reported by the customer.
8. If the abnormality has been detected, repair in
accordance with the “SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS”.
NOTE:
• Be sure to give a test drive on a wide, even road
with little traffic.
• If an abnormality is detected, be sure to suspend
the test and start trouble diagnosis at once.
“ABS” Warning Light
When ABS trouble occurs and actuates when possible
the “ABS” warning light, the trouble code
corresponding to the trouble is stored in the EHCU.
Only the ordinary brake system is available when the
ABS is turned OFF. When the “ABS” warning light is
actuated, if the starter switch is set ON after setting it
OFF once, the EHCU checks up on the entire system
and, if there is no abnormality, judges ABS to work
currently and the warning light works normally even
though the trouble code is stored.
NOTE: Illumination of the “ABS” warning light indicates
that anti-lock braking is no longer available. Power
assisted braking without anti-lock control is still
available.
Normal Operation
“ABS” Warning Light
When the ignition is first moved from “OFF” to “ON”,
the amber “ABS” warning light will turn “ON” for 2
seconds and will turn “OFF”.

Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)
When the warning light in the meter remains ON, the
EHCU stores the fault identification and disables the
ABS.
1. How to start DTC display:
• Confirm that the vehicle has come to a
complete stop (with the wheels standing still)
and that the brake pedal is not depressed.
(Unless these two conditions are satisfied, DTC
display cannot be started.)
• With the key switch OFF and short B-79
diagnosis connector terminal 12 to ground.
Then turn the key switch ON.
• DTCs can be displayed also by TECH 2.
5A4-36 ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)
The DLC (for Tech 2) is located behind the driver side lower cluster panel
2. DTC display:
• DTC is displayed by blinking warning light.
• Double-digit display.
• First, normal DTC 12 is displayed three times
and then any other DTCs are displayed three
times. (If no other DTCs have been stored, the
display of DTC 12 will be repeated.)
3. How to erase code:
• Conduct brake switch ON/OFF operation 6 or
more times within 3 seconds of self-diagnosis
startup.
• The code cannot be erased if more than 3
seconds have passed since self-diagnosis
startup, or if self-diagnosis has started with
brake switched on (brake pedal depressed).
• DTCs can be erased also by Tech 2.
4. An example of DTC display
