Checking Condition
Condition A
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Start the engine and let it idle.
3. Turn the steering wheel to the straight-ahead po-
sition, and check the output pattern.
Refer to page 10—89 for other patterns and indi-
cated failure points.
Condition B
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Start the engine and let it idle.
3. Turn the steering wheel 45° left and right from the
center, and check the output pattern.
Refer to page 10—89 for other patterns and indi-
cated failure points.
Condition C
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Place the vehicle on a chassis roller tester. Block
the rear wheels, and secure it with chains.
3. Start the engine. Put the transmission in gear and
operate the vehicle at more than 10 km/h (6.2
mph).
4.Check the output pattern.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF BRAKE
LINES
1. Loosen or tighten the flare nut with the SST.
Flare nut tightening torque: 13—22 N-m
(1.3—2.2 m-kg, 9—16 ft-lb)
2. When connecting the flexible hose, do not over-
tighten or twist it.
3. After installation:
(1) Check that the hose does not contact other
parts when the vehicle bounces or when the
steering wheel is turned all the way to the right
or left.
(2) Bleed the air from the brake system. (Refer to
page 11—9.)
REPLACEMENT OF BRAKE FLUID
1. Remove the brake fluid from the reservoir with a
suction pump.
2. Fill the reservoir with new, specified brake fluid.
3. Pump out the old brake fluid by loosening the
bleeder screws (one by one) and pumping the
brake pedal. (Refer to page 11—10 for details.)
