HYDRAULIC UNIT OPERATION TEST
The reaction-force pulsating action generated in
the brake levers when the ABS is activated can
be tested when the vehicle is stopped.
The hydraulic unit operation can be tested by the
following two methods.
● Hydraulic unit operation test 1: this test gener-
ates the same reaction-force pulsating action
that is generated in the brake levers when the
ABS is activated.
● Hydraulic unit operation test 2: this test checks
the function of the ABS after the system was
disassembled, adjusted, or serviced.
