• Reservoir or reservoir grommets sign of fluid contamination.
• Line joints
• Between master cylinder and booster
Brake Hoses Look for damage or signs of fluid leakage at: Bulging, twisted, or bent lines.
• Line joints and banjo bolt connections
• Hoses and lines, also inspect for twisting or
damage
Caliper Look for damage or signs of fluid leakage at: Seized or sticking caliper pins.
• Piston seal
• Banjo bolt connections
• Bleed screw
VSA Modulator Look for damage or signs of fluid leakage at:
• Line joints
• Modulator
2. Attach a 50 mm (2 in.) piece of masking tape along the bottom of the steering wheel, and draw a horizontal
reference mark across it.
3. With the transmission in the P or N position, press and hold the brake pedal lightly (about the same pressure
needed to keep an A/T-equipped vehicle from creeping), then release the parking brake.
4. While still holding the brake pedal, hook the end of the tape measure behind it. Then pull the tape up to the
steering wheel, noting where the tape measure lines up with the reference mark you made on the masking tape.
NOTE: If the brake pedal sinks more than 10 mm (3/8 in.) in 3 minutes, the master cylinder is faulty. A slight
change in pedal height when the A/C compressor cycles on and off is normal. (The A/C compressor load changes
the vacuum available to the brake booster.)

Frequent inhalation of brake pad dust, regardless of material composition, could be hazardous to your health.
• Avoid breathing dust particles.
• 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:
NOTE: Make sure that the caliper pins are installed correctly.
The upper and lower caliper pins are different. If the caliper pins are installed in the wrong location, it will cause
uneven tire wear, vibration, and or uneven or rapid pad wear.
• Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle; it may damage the paint; if brake fluid gets on the paint, wash it off
immediately with water.
• To prevent dripping brake fluid, cover disconnected hose joints with rags or shop towels.
• Clean all parts in brake fluid and air dry; blow out 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 in the brake fluid.
• Make sure no grease or oil gets on the brake discs or pads.
• When reusing brake pads, always reinstall them in their original positions to prevent loss of braking efficiency.
• Do not reuse drained brake fluid. Use only clean Honda DOT 3 Brake Fluid from an unopened container. Using a
non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and shorten the life of the system.
• Do not mix different brands of brake fluid as they may not be compatible.
• Coat the pistons, piston seal grooves, and caliper bores with clean brake fluid.
• Replace all rubber parts with new ones whenever disassembled.
• After installing the caliper, check the brake hose and line for leaks, interference, and twisting.

ABS Features
When the brake pedal is pressed while driving, the wheels sometimes 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 ABS 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 ABS calculates the slip rate of the wheels based on the four wheel speed, then it controls the brake
fluid pressure to reach the target slip rate.

EBD Features
The electronic brake distribution (EBD) helps control vehicle braking by adjusting the rear brake force in accordance
with rear wheel load before the ABS operates. Based on wheel sensor signals, the ABS control unit uses the
modulator to control the rear brakes individually. When the rear wheel speed is less than the front wheel speed, the
VSA modulator-control unit retains the current rear brake fluid pressure by closing the inlet valve in the modulator. As
the rear wheel speed increases and approaches the front wheel speed, the VSA modulator-control unit increases the
rear brake fluid pressure by momentarily opening the inlet valve. This whole process is repeated very rapidly. While
this is happening, there is kickback at the brake pedal.

Modulator Unit
The modulator unit consists of the inlet solenoid valve, the outlet solenoid valve, the VSA normally open (NO)
solenoid valve, VSA normally closed (NC) solenoid valve, the reservoir, the pump, the pump motor, and the damping
chamber.
The modulator controls the caliper fluid pressure directly. It is a circulating-type modulator because the brake fluid
circulates through the caliper, the 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.
ABS Control
Pressure intensifying mode
VSA NO valve open, VSA NC valve closed, inlet valve open, outlet valve closed.
Master cylinder fluid is pumped out to the caliper.
Pump motor
When starting the pressure reducing mode, the pump motor is ON. When stopping ABS operation, the pump motor is
OFF.
The reservoir fluid is pumped out by the pump, through the damping chamber, to the master cylinder.
