• Q: How to remove the ABS Control Module for the Antilock Brakes on 2008 Scion xB?

  A: The first step to remove the Antilock Brakes Hydraulic Control Assembly requires disconnecting the negative battery cable and draining the brake fluid before cleaning any paint-legging fluid with proper washing techniques. Begin the procedure by taking off the windshield wiper arm cover then uninstalling both right and left front wiper arm and blade assemblies one by one. The next step requires removal of the hood to cowl top seal and the right and left cowl top ventilator louvers and front wiper motor and link. Trim the outer cowl top panel and the air cleaner assembly from the basic assembly. Before disconnection of the brake actuator connector for maintenance purposes always avoid brake fluid entry into the removed connector endpoint while using the safety lock lever release function. A union nut wrench should be used to disconnect the 6 brake tubes from the brake actuator by labeling each tube for reinstallation in the sequence 1: Front wheel cylinder RH, 2: Front wheel cylinder LH, 3: Rear wheel cylinder RH, 4: Rear wheel cylinder LH, 5: First master cylinder, 6: Second master cylinder. The process starts by detaching the 2 tube clamps at the actuator bracket while you remove the 3 nuts to extract the brake actuator with bracket keeping away from damaging tubes or harnesses. Remove the brake actuator bracket assembly by completing the removal of its four retaining bolts.
