Checking Brake Fluid Level and Leaks

INFOID:0000000001730905

• Make sure the fluid level in the reservoir tank is within the standard

(between MAX and MIN lines).

• Visually check around the reservoir tank for fluid leakage.
• If fluid level is excessively low, check brake system for fluid leak-

age.

• Release parking brake lever and see if brake warning lamp goes

off. If not, check brake system for fluid leakage.

Checking Brake Line and Cables

INFOID:0000000001730906

• Check brake fluid lines and parking brake cables for improper

attachment, leaks, chafing, abrasions, deterioration, etc.

Changing Brake Fluid

INFOID:0000000001730907

1.

Drain brake fluid from each bleed valve.

2.

Refill until new brake fluid comes out from each bleed valve.
Use same procedure as in bleeding hydraulic system to refill
brake fluid.
Refer to 

BR-8, "Bleeding Brake System"

 .

• Refill with recommended Genuine Brake Fluid or equivalent

DOT 3 (US FMVSS No. 116).
Refer to 

MA-19, "Fluids and Lubricants"

 .

• Never reuse drained brake fluid.
• Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas.

Drain and Refill

INFOID:0000000001730927

CAUTION:

• Refill using recommended brake fluid. Refer to 

MA-19, "Fluids and Lubricants"

.

• Never reuse drained brake fluid.
• Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is

splashed on painted areas, immediately wipe them with cloth and wash it away with water. 

• Before working, disconnect connectors of ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) or battery

cable from the negative terminal.
