On certain 4WD vehicles, the capacitor in the G-sensor circuit for ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) may allow the chemical fluid to leak after long time use. If this problem is left unattended, the fluid deposited on the IC terminal on the G-sensor circuit may cause a short circuit, resulting in sensor malfunction. If this occurs, the ABS will not function properly and therefore the braking distance could increase.
Case Number:
RJ-1428-0
Make/model:
Issued:
Thu, 2005-05-12
Component:
brake (G-sensor)
Affected:
13 297
Correction:
The G-sensor should be replaced with the factory approved replacement unit. Incidentally, it will take time to supply the replacement units, so as a temporary measure, the G-sensor should be removed and the ABS should be disabled after notifying the vehicle owner.
Identification:
yellow paint on the G-sensor
