• Perform the ID registration after tire rotation. Refer to 

WT-26, "Work Procedure"

.

BRAKE LINES AND CABLES
BRAKE LINES AND CABLES : Inspection

INFOID:0000000011277801

• Check brake fluid lines and parking brake cables for improper

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

BRAKE FLUID
BRAKE FLUID : Inspection

INFOID:0000000011277802

BRAKE FLUID LEVEL

• Make sure that the brake fluid level in the reservoir tank is between

the MAX and MIN lines.

• Visually check around the reservoir tank for brake fluid leakage.

• If the brake fluid level is excessively low, check the brake system

for leakage.

• If brake warning lamp remains illuminated after parking brake

pedal is released, check the brake system for brake fluid leakage.

BRAKE LINE

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

parts.

2. Check for brake fluid leakage by fully depressing brake pedal

while engine is running.

CAUTION:

If brake fluid leakage occurs around joints, retighten or

replace damaged parts as necessary.

BRAKE FLUID : Drain and Refill

INFOID:0000000011277803

CAUTION:

• 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)"

.

CHASSIS MAINTENANCE

• 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 master cylinder 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 master cylinder reservoir tank to empty as this may cause damage to master cylinder

internal components.

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

BR-16, "Bleeding Brake System"

.

FRONT BRAKE
FRONT BRAKE : Inspection

INFOID:0000000011277804

Check brake pad wear thickness from an inspection hole (A) on cyl-

inder body. Check using a scale if necessary. 

FRONT BRAKE : Inspection

INFOID:0000000011277805

APPEARANCE

Check surface of disc brake rotor for uneven wear, cracks or damage. Replace if any abnormal conditions

exist.

1. Check the wheel bearing axial end play before the inspection. Refer to 

FAX-7, "Inspection"

(FWD) or 

FAX-

45, "Inspection"

(AWD).

2. Secure the disc brake rotor to the wheel hub and bearing with

wheel nuts at two wheel nut locations.

3. Inspect the runout with a dial gauge, measured at 10 mm (0.39

in) inside the disc brake rotor edge.

4. Find the installation position with a minimum runout by shifting

the disc brake rotor-to-wheel hub and bearing installation posi-

tion by one hole at a time if the runout exceeds the limit value.

5. Refinish the disc brake rotor if the runout is outside the limit

even after performing the above operation. When refinishing,

use Tool.

CAUTION:

• Check in advance that the thickness of the disc brake rotor is wear thickness + 0.3 mm (0.012 in)

or more.

• If the thickness is less than wear thickness + 0.3 mm (0.012 in), replace the disc brake rotor.

THICKNESS

Check the thickness of the disc brake rotor using a micrometer.

Replace the disc brake rotor if the thickness is below the wear limit.
