BRAKE FLUID

Inspection

INFOID:0000000009364820

BRAKE FLUID LEVEL

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

range between the MAX – MIN lines as shown.

• Visually check for any brake fluid leaks around the reservoir tank.

• Check the brake system for any leaks if the fluid level is extremely

low (lower than MIN).

• Check the brake system for fluid leaks if the warning lamp remains

illuminated even after the parking brake is released.

• Check the reservoir tank for the mixing of foreign matter (e.g. dust)

and oils other than brake fluid.

BRAKE LINE

1. Check brake tubes and hoses for cracks, deterioration or other

damage. Replace any damaged parts.

2. Check for brake fluid leaks by fully depressing brake pedal while

engine is running.

CAUTION:

Retighten the applicable connection to the specified torque

and repair any abnormal (damaged, worn or deformed) part

if any brake fluid leaks are present.

Draining

INFOID:0000000009364821

CAUTION:

• Do not 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 ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) or battery

negative terminal before performing work.

1. Connect a vinyl tube to the bleeder valve.
2. Depress the brake pedal and loosen the bleeder valve to gradu-

ally discharge brake fluid.

Refilling

INFOID:0000000009364822

CAUTION:

• Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) or battery

negative terminal before performing work.

• Do not 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.

• Monitor the brake fluid level in the reservoir while performing the air bleeding procedure.

• Always use new brake fluid for refilling. Do not reuse drained brake fluid.

• Do not allow foreign matter (e.g. dust) and oils other than brake fluid to enter the reservoir tank.

BRAKE FLUID

1. Check that there is no foreign material in the reservoir tank, and

refill with new brake fluid. Refer to 

MA-11, "Fluids and Lubri-

cants"

.

2. Loosen the bleeder valve, slowly depress the brake pedal to the

full stroke, and then release the pedal. Repeat this operation at

intervals of 2 or 3 seconds until new brake fluid is discharged.

Then close the bleeder valve with the brake pedal depressed.

Repeat the same work on each wheel.

3. Perform the air bleeding procedure. Refer to 

BR-12, "Bleeding

Brake System"

.

Bleeding Brake System

INFOID:0000000009364823

CAUTION:

• Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) or battery

negative terminal before performing the work.

• Monitor the fluid level in the reservoir tank while performing the air bleeding.

• Do not 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.

• Always use new brake fluid for refilling. Do not reuse drained brake fluid.

• Do not allow foreign matter (e.g. dust) and oils other than brake fluid to enter the reservoir tank.
1. Connect a vinyl tube to the bleeder valve.
2. Fully depress the brake pedal 4 to 5 times.
3. Loosen the bleeder valve and bleed air with the brake pedal depressed, and then quickly tighten the

bleeder valve.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until all of the air is out of the brake line.
5. Tighten the bleeder valve to the specified torque.

• Front disc brake: Refer to 

BR-35, "BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY : Exploded View"

.

• Rear drum brake: Refer to 

BR-40, "Exploded View"

.

6. Perform steps 1 to 5 in the following order: Front (RH) brake 

→ front (LH) brake → rear (RH) brake → rear

(LH) brake.

7. Check that the fluid level in the reservoir tank is within the specified range after air bleeding. Refer to 

BR-

11, "Inspection"

.

8. Add brake fluid as necessary to keep the brake fluid level within the specified range. Refer to 

MA-11, "Flu-

ids and Lubricants"

.

9. Inspect the brake pedal height and play. Adjust it if the measurement value is not the standard. Refer to

BR-8, "Inspection and Adjustment"

.
