• Q: How to service and repair the ABS Control Module for Antilock Brakes on 2006 Scion xB?

  A: The first step to service and repair the Antilock Brake Hydraulic Control Assembly starts with disconnecting the negative cable and waiting at least 90 seconds before moving forward to avoid Air Bag and seat belt pretensioner activation. Remove the brake fluid while washing all painted areas that encounter fluid. You should detach the brake actuator assembly with its bracket after releasing the connector latch and then using Special Service Tool: 09023-00101 to separate the six brake lines from the actuator before marking them properly for restorative purposes. To detach the brake actuator with the bracket start by removing its 3 bolts then continue by taking off the 2 nuts to separate the brake actuator from the bracket. You must attach the brake actuator to the bracket initially using the 2 nuts before torquing them to 5.4 N.m (55 kgf.cm, 48 in.lbf). Subsequently you should install the brake actuator and bracket together with the 3 bolts torqued to 19 N.m (194 kgf.cm, 14 ft.lbf). The 6 brake lines need to be installed to their designated positions on the brake actuator by using Special Service Tool: 09023-00101 while applying 15 N.m (155 kgf.cm, 11 ft.lbf) torque when not using the tool and 14 N.m (143 kgf.cm, 10 ft.lbf) torque when using it, utilizing a torque wrench with a 30 cm (11.81 in.) fulcrum length. Attach the brake actuator connector then add brake fluid to the reservoir followed by air bleeding from the brake master cylinder and brake line and brake actuator using the vehicle service connect. The service adviser should start by measuring brake fluid in the reservoir before checking for fluid leaks then reconnect the negative battery cable and test the brake actuator with diagnostic tools.
