C: CAUTION
• Wear work clothing, including a cap, protective
goggles and protective shoes during operation.
• Before disconnecting electrical connectors of
sensors or units, be sure to disconnect the ground
cable from battery.
• Before removal, installation or disassembly, be
sure to clarify the failure. Avoid unnecessary re-
moval, installation, disassembly, and replacement.
• Be careful not to burn yourself, because each
part in the vehicle is hot after running.
• Be sure to tighten fasteners including bolts and
nuts to the specified torque.
• Place shop jacks or rigid racks at the specified
points.

A: OPERATION
1) Under the ABS sequence control, after the hy-
draulic unit solenoid valve is driven, the operation
of the hydraulic unit can be checked by means of
the brake tester or pressure gauge.
2) ABS sequence control can be started by Subaru
Select Monitor.
1. ABS SEQUENCE CONTROL WITH SUB-
ARU SELECT MONITOR
NOTE:
In the event of any trouble, the sequence control
may not be operative. In such a case, perform the
diagnosis. <Ref. to ABS(diag)-2, PROCEDURE,
Basic Diagnostic Procedure.>
1) Connect the Subaru Select Monitor to data link
connector under driver’s seat instrument panel low-
er cover.
2) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
3) Turn the Subaru Select Monitor switch to ON.
4) Put the Subaru Select Monitor to {BRAKE CON-
TROL} mode.
5) When {Function check sequence} is selected,
ABS sequence control will start.
6) When the message {Press Brake Pedal with
braking force of 100 to 150 kgf} is displayed, per-
form the followings.
(1) When using the brake tester, depress the
brake pedal with braking force of 981 N (100 kgf,
221 lbf).
(2) When using the pressure gauge, depress
the brake pedal so as to make the pressure
gauge indicate 3,432 kPa (35 kgf/cm2, 498 psi).
7) When the message {Press YES} is displayed,
press the [YES] key.
8) The braking system in operation is displayed on
Subaru Select Monitor.
