BRAKE FLUID

Inspection

INFOID:0000000003811173

BRAKE FLUID LEVEL

• Check that the fluid level in the sub tank is within the specified

range (MAX – MIN lines).

• Visually check for any brake fluid leakage around the sub tank,

reservoir tank and hose.

• Check the brake system for any leakage if the fluid level is

extremely low (lower than MIN).

• Check the brake system for fluid leakage if the warning lamp

remains illuminated even after the parking brake is released.

BRAKE LINE

1.

Check brake line (tubes and hoses) for cracks, deterioration or other damage. Replace any damaged
parts.

2.

Check for fluid leakage by fully depressing brake pedal while
engine is running.

CAUTION:

If leakage occurs around joints, retighten or, if necessary,
replace damaged parts.

Draining

INFOID:0000000003811174

CAUTION:

• Never spill or splash brake fluid on painted surfaces. Brake fluid may seriously damage paint. Wipe it

off immediately and wash with water if it gets on a painted surface.

• Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) con-

nector or the battery negative terminal before draining.

1.

Connect a vinyl tube to the bleed valve.

2.

Depress the brake pedal and loosen the bleeder valve to gradu-
ally discharge brake fluid.

Refilling

INFOID:0000000003811175

CAUTION:

Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connec-
tor or the battery negative terminal before refilling.
