A: REMOVAL
1) Disconnect the ground cable from battery.
2) Remove the air intake duct from engine com-
partment to facilitate removal of ABSCM&H/U.
3) Use an air gun to get rid of water around the
ABSCM&H/U.

NOTE:
Contact will be insufficient if the terminal gets wet.
B: INSTALLATION
4) Remove the ground cable from ABSCM&H/U.
1) Install the ABSCM&H/U bracket.
5) Pull off the lock of ABSCM&H/U connector to re-
move it. Tightening torque:
33 N·m (3.3 kgf-m, 24 ft-lb)
2) Apply a coat of grease (Nippeco LT or GB) to the
bracket attaching bolt.
3) Align the width across flat portion of ABSCM&
H/U side stud bolt with the bolt hole groove on
bracket, and then install the ABSCM&H/U.
NOTE:
Confirm the specification mark of ABSCM&H/U.
Tightening torque:

6) Disconnect the connector from ABSCM&H/U.
CAUTION:
Do not pull the harness when disconnecting the
connector.
7) Unlock the cable clip.
8) Disconnect the brake pipes from ABSCM&H/U.
9) Wrap the brake pipes with vinyl bag to avoid
spilling brake fluid on vehicle body.
