CAUTION:
- Because the pressure sensor built into the H/U is easily damaged by static electricity, start the operation after performing static electricity measures.
- Be careful not to touch the sensors in the H/U to prevent damage.
- Because the seal of the VDCCM cannot be replaced, do not pull or peel it by lifting it up.
- Because the screw of the H/U will become slightly worn in every replacement procedure, 5 times is the maximum number of times for replacement. If a problem is found such as not being able to torque the screw to specifications even before 5 replacement operations are performed, replace the H/U body.
- When installing the VDCCM, always use new screws.
- When the sealing surface of the VDCCM or H/U is dirty or damaged and it cannot be cleaned or repaired, replace with a new part.
- Remove the VDCCM&H/U. < Ref. to REMOVALΒ , VDC Control Module and Hydraulic Control Unit (VDCCM&H/U).>
- To prevent entry of foreign objects and brake fluid leakage, plug the oil pressure port of the VDCCM&H/U using a screw plug, etc.
- Set the pump motor section of the removed VDCCM&H/U face down on a vise.NOTE: Before securing a part on a vise, place cushioning material such as wood blocks, aluminum plate, or cloth between the part and the vise.
