• Do not spill or splash brake fluid on painted surfaces. Brake fluid may damage paint. If brake fluid is

splashed on painted areas, wash it away with water immediately.

• Prior to repair, turn the ignition switch OFF, disconnect the ABS actuator and electric unit (control

unit) connector or negative battery terminal. Refer to 

PG-78, "Removal and Installation (Battery)"

.

• Refill brake system with new brake fluid. Refer to 

MA-11, "Fluids and Lubricants"

. 

• Do not reuse drained brake fluid.

DRAINING

1. Turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector or nega-

tive battery terminal. Refer to 

PG-78, "Removal and Installation (Battery)"

.

2. Connect a vinyl tube to bleeder valve.
3. Depress brake pedal, loosen bleeder valve, and gradually

remove brake fluid.

CAUTION:

Do not allow reservoir tank to empty as this may cause

damage to master cylinder internal components.

REFILLING

1. Make sure no foreign material is in the reservoir tank, and refill

with new brake fluid. 

CAUTION:

Do not reuse drained brake fluid.

2. Refill the brake system as follows:

• Depress the brake pedal.

• Loosen bleeder valve.

• Slowly depress brake pedal to 2/3 of the brake pedal full

stroke.

• Tighten bleeder valve.

• Release brake pedal.

Repeat this operation at intervals of two or three seconds until

all old brake fluid is discharged. Add new brake fluid frequently.

CAUTION:

Do not allow reservoir tank to empty as this may cause damage to master cylinder internal compo-

nents.

3. Bleed the air out of the brake hydraulic system. Refer to 

BR-16, "Bleeding Brake System"

.

Bleeding Brake System

INFOID:0000000011279869

CAUTION:

• While bleeding, pay attention to the brake fluid level.

• Do not allow reservoir tank to empty as this may cause damage to master cylinder internal compo-

nents. 

• Before working, disconnect ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connectors or negative bat-

tery terminal. Refer to 

PG-78, "Removal and Installation (Battery)"

.

1. Turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector or nega-

tive battery terminal. Refer to
