o Clean all parts in brake fluid and air dry; blowout all passages with compressed air.
o Before reassembling, check that all parts are free of dirt and other foreign particles.
o Replace parts with new ones as specified in the illustration.
o Make sure no dirt or other foreign matter gets into the brake fluid.
o Make sure no grease or oil gets on the brake discs or pads.

Rear Brake Caliper Overhaul
~CAUTION
Frequent inhalation of brake pad dust, regardless of material composition, could be hazardous to your health .
• Never use an air hose or brush to clean brake assemblies. Use an OSHA-approved vacuum cleaner.
Remove, disassemble, inspect, reassemble, and install the caliper and note these items:
• Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle; it may damage the paint; if brake fluid gets on the paint, wash it off
• Clean all parts in brake fluid and air dry; blowout all passages with compressed air.
• Before reassembling, check that all parts are free of dirt and other foreign particles.
• Replace parts with new ones as specified in the illustration.
• Make sure no dirt or other foreign matter gets into the brake fluid.
• Make sure no grease or oil gets on the brake discs or pads.
cardiagn.com
• When reusing pads, always reinstall them in their original positions to prevent loss of braking efficiency.
• Do not reuse drained brake fluid.
• Always use Honda DOT 3 Brake Fluid. Non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and shorten the life of the
system.
• Coat the piston, piston seal groove, and caliper bore with clean brake fluid.
• Replace all rubber parts with new ones.
• After installing the caliper, check the brake hose and line for leaks, interference, and twisting.

Features
When the brake pedal is pressed during driving, the wheels can lock before the vehicle comes to a stop. In such an
event, the maneuverability of the vehicle is reduced if the front wheels are locked, and the stability of the vehicle is
reduced if the rear wheels are locked, creating an extremely unstable condition. The ASS precisely controls the slip
rate of the wheels to ensure maximum grip force from the tires, and it thereby ensures maneuverability and stability
of the vehicle.
The ASS calculates the slip rate of the wheels based on the vehicle speed and the wheel speed, then it controls the
brake fluid pressure to reach the target slip rate.

ABS Control Unit
Main Control
The ASS control unit detects the wheel speed based on the wheel sensor signal it received, then it calculates the
vehicle speed based on the detected wheel speed. The control unit detects the vehicle speed during deceleration
based on the rate of deceleration.
The ASS control unit calculates the slip rate of each wheel, and it transmits the control signal to the modulator unit
solenoid valve when the slip rate is high.
The pressure reduction control has 3-modes: pressure reducing, pressure retaining, and pressure intensifying.

Self-diagnosis
1. The ABS control unit is equipped with a main CPU and a sub CPU, that check each other for problems.
2. The CPUs check the circuit of the system.
3. Self-diagnosis can be classifield into 2 categories:
o Initial diagnosis: Done right after the engine starts and until the ABS indicator goes off.
o Regular diagnosis: Done right after the initial diagnosis until the ignition switch is turned OFF.
4. When a problem is detected by self-diagnosis, the system:
o Turns the fail-safe relay OFF

o Turns the solenoid valve OFF
o Turn the pump motor OFF
o Turns the ABS indicator ON

On-board Diagnosis Function

The ABS control unit is connected to the 16P Data Link Connector.
The ABS can be diagnosed with the Honda PGM Tester.
The ALB Checker cannot be used with this system. For air bleeding, and checking wheel sensor signals, use the Honda
PGM Tester. See the Honda PGM Tester user's manuals for specific operating instructions.

ABS Modulator
The ABS modulator consists of the inlet solenoid valve, outlet solenoid valve, reservoir, pump, pump motor, and the
damping chamber. The modulator reduces the caliper fluid pressure directly. It is a circulating-type modulator
because the brake fluid circulates through the caliper, reservoir, and the master cylinder. The hydraulic control has
three modes: pressure intensifying, pressure retaining, and pressure reducing. The hydraulic circuit is an independent
four channel-type, one channel for each wheel.

Wheel Sensor
The wheel sensors are the magnetic contactless type. As the gear pulser teeth rotate past the wheel sensor's magnetic
.O
coil, AC current is generated. The AC frequency changes in accordance with the wheel speed. The ASS control unit
detects the wheel sensor signal frequency and thereby detects the wheel speed.

When the wheel speed drops sharply below the vehicle speed, the inlet valve closes to retain the caliper fluid pressure.
When the wheel speed drops further, the outlet valve opens momentarily to reduce the caliper fluid pressure. The
pump motor starts at this time. As the wheel speed is restored, the inlet valve opens momentarily to increase the
caliper fluid pressure.

Modulator Unit Removal and Installation
NOTE:
• Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle; it may damage the paint; if brake fluid gets on the paint, wash it off
• Take care not to damage or deform the brake lines during removal and installation.
• To prevent the brake fluid from flowing, plug and cover the hose ends and joints with a shop towel or equivalent
material.
Removal
1. Disconnect the modulator unit connector (C) and the pump motor connector (B).
2. Disconnect the brake lines, then remove the modulator unit (A).
Installation
1. Install the modulator unit, then connect the brake lines. Tighten the flare nuts to 15 N·m (1.5 kgf·m, 11 Ibf·ft).
cardiagn.com
2. Connect the modulator unit connector and the pump motor connector.
3. Bleed the brake system, starting with the front wheels.
4. Start the engine, and check that the ABS indicator goes off.
5. Test-drive the vehicle, and check that the ABS indicator does not come on.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) (If body maintenance is required)
The Accord Sedan/Coupe (L4) SRS includes a driver's airbag in the steering wheel hub, a passenger's airbag in the
dashboard above the glove box, seat belt tensioners ('01-02 models) in the front seat belt retractors, and side airbags
('00-02 models) in the front seat-backs. Information necessary to safely service the SRS is included in this Service
Manual. Items marked with an asterisk ( * ) on the contents page include or are located near SRS components.
Servicing, disassembling, or replacing these items will require special precautions and tools, and should be done only
by an authorized Honda dealer.
• To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could lead to personal injury or death in the event of a severe frontal
collision, all SRS service work must be performed by an authorized Honda dealer.
• Improper service procedures, including incorrect removal and installation ofthe SRS, could lead to personal injury
caused by unintentional deployment ofthe airbags and side airbags.
• Do not bump the SRS unit. Otherwise, the system may fail in a collision, or the airbags may deploy when the
ignition switch is ON (II).
cardiagn.com
• SRS electrical connectors are identified by yellow color coding. Related components are located in the steering
column, front console, dashboard, dashboard lower panel, in the dashboard above the glove box, in the front seats,
and around the floor. Do not use electrical test equipment on these circuits.
