• Q: How to Replace the ABS Control Module and Traction Actuator Assembly on 2005 Toyota Corolla?

  A: The first task to replace the ABS & traction actuator assembly requires draining the brake fluid while cleaning off any fluid residues from the painted bodywork. Both front wheels RH along with the front fender liner RH, radiator grille sub-assembly, front bumper cover, LH headlamp assembly and windshield washer jar assembly must be uninstalled. Use Special Service Tool: 09023-00101 to disconnect the 6 brake tubes from the actuator with bracket following a systematic connection labeling process for reinstallation. Use caution about the brake tubes and harness while removing the 2 bolts and nut and the actuator with bracket. The next step requires removal of the ABS & traction actuator assembly after unscrewing the 2 nuts. Connect the new ABS & traction actuator assembly to the bracket using the 2 nuts before tightening them to 6.0 Nm (61 kgf-cm, 53 inch lbs.). Install the actuator along with its bracket through the 2 bolts and nut and torque them to 20 Nm (204 kgf-cm, 15 ft. lbs.) before checking that the brake tubes and wire harness remain undamaged during the ordered sequence of bolt tightening from 1 to 3. Connect the actuator connector while securing the lever in position and utilize Special Service Tool: 09023-00101 to join each brake tube with its designated position in the actuator with bracket before torquing to 15 Nm (155 kgf-cm, 11 ft. lbs.). The windshield washer jar assembly and LH headlamp assembly, front bumper cover and radiator grille sub-assembly and front wheel liner and front wheel RH will follow for reinstallation with front wheel torquing to 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft. lbs.). The process requires filling the brake fluid reservoir and using Special Service Tool: 09023-00101 to bleed the master cylinder followed by bleeding the brake line and the ABS and traction actuator assembly. You should begin by checking brake fluid levels in the reservoir before inspecting for leakage and conducting a hand-held tester examination of the actuator. The procedure begins by performing yaw rate sensor zero point calibration followed by vehicles setup for fog lamp aim adjustment and fog lamp aiming evaluation and modification. Then, headlamp aiming inspection will be conducted with both hand-held tester and screen preparation before executing headlamp aiming exam and adjustment.
