3. Set parking brake and block wheels.
4. Install a tachometer where it can be seen by driver during test.
IIt is good practice to mark the point of specified engine
rpm on indicator.
5. Start engine, apply foot brake, and place selector lever in D
position.
6. Accelerate to wide open throttle gradually while applying foot
brake.
7. Quickly note the engine stall revolution and immediately
release throttle.
IDuring test, never hold throttle wide open for more than 5
seconds.
Stall revolution:
2,350 - 2,850 rpm
8. Move selector lever to ªNº position.
9. Cool off CVT fluid.
IRun engine at idle for at least one minute.

LINE PRESSURE TEST PROCEDURENCAT0027S021. Check CVT fluid and engine oil levels. If necessary, add fluid
or oil.
2. Drive vehicle for approx. 10 minutes or until engine oil and CVT
fluid reach operating temperature.

Road TestNCAT0028DESCRIPTIONNCAT0028S01IThe purpose of the test is to determine overall performance of
CVT and analyze causes of problems.
IThe road test consists of the following three parts:
1. Check before engine is started
2. Cruise test
IBefore road test, familiarize yourself with all test procedures
and items to check.
IConduct tests on all items until specified symptom is found.
Troubleshoot items which check out No Good after road test.

4. Adjust control cable. Refer to AT-114.
5. Check continuity of PNP switch. Refer to AT-53.
6. Refill transaxle with CVT fluid and check fluid level.
7. Move selector lever through all positions to be sure that tran-
saxle operates correctly. With parking brake applied, idle
engine. A slight shock should be felt through the hand gripping
the selector each time the transaxle is shifted.
8. Perform road test. Refer to AT-36.

Checking Brake Fluid Level
lCheck fluid level in reservoir tank. It should be between Max.
and Min. lines on reservoir tank.
lIf fluid level is extremely low, check brake system for leaks.
lIf brake warning lamp comes on and fluid level is above
ªMINº mark, check brake fluid level switch and parking brake
switch.
Checking Brake Line
CAUTION:
If leakage occurs around joints, retighten or, if necessary,
replace damaged parts.
1. Check brake lines (tubes and hoses) for cracks, deterioration
or other damage. Replace any damaged parts.
2. Check for oil leakage by fully depressing brake pedal while
engine is running.
Changing Brake Fluid
CAUTION:
lRefill with new brake fluid ªDOT 4º.
lAlways keep fluid level higher than minimum line on
reservoir tank.
lNever reuse drained brake fluid.
lBe careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it
may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is splashed on
painted areas, wash it away with water immediately.
1. Clean inside of reservoir tank, and refill with new brake fluid.
2. Connect a vinyl tube to each air bleeder valve.
3. Drain brake fluid from each air bleeder valve by depressing
brake pedal while keeping reservoir level higher than mini-
mum line by adding new brake fluid.
4. Repeat until new brake fluid comes out of each air bleeder
valve.
Use same procedure as in bleeding hydraulic system to refill
brake fluid. Refer to ªBleeding Brake Systemº, BR-8.
Brake Burnishing Procedure
Burnish the brake contact surfaces according to the following
procedure after refinishing or replacing rotors, after replacing
pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.
CAUTION:
Only perform this procedure under safe road and traffic con-
ditions. Use extreme caution.
1. Drive the vehicle on a straight smooth road at 50 km/h (31
MPH).

lIt is not necessary to remove connecting bolt except for
disassembly or replacement of caliper assembly. In this
case, suspend cylinder body with wire so as not to
stretch brake hose.
lBurnish the brake contact surfaces after refinishing or
replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal
occurs at very low mileage.
Refer to ªBrake Burnishing Procedureº, ªCHECK AND
ADJUSTMENTº, BR-7.
1. Remove master cylinder reservoir cap.
2. Remove brake cable mounting bolt and lock spring.
3. Release parking brake control lever, then disconnect cable
from the caliper.
4. Remove upper pin bolt.
5. Open cylinder body downward. Then remove pads inner and
outer shims.
Standard pad thickness:
9.3 mm (0.366 in)
Pad wear limit:
2.0 mm (0.079 in)
6. When installing new pads, push piston into cylinder body by
gently turning piston clockwise, as shown.
Carefully monitor brake fluid level because brake fluid
will return to reservoir when pushing back piston.
7. Adjust the piston to the right angle as shown in the figure.

8. As shown in the figure, align the piston's concave to the
pad's convex, then install the cylinder body to the torque
member.
9. Install brake cable, brake cable mounting bolt, lock spring
and master cylinder reservoir cap.
Removal
WARNING:
Clean brake pads with a vacuum dust collector to minimize
the hazard of airborne particles or other materials.
1. Remove brake cable mounting bolt and lock spring.
2. Release parking brake control lever, then disconnect cable
from the caliper.
3. Remove torque member fixing bolts and connecting bolt.
It is not necessary to remove connecting bolt except for
disassembly or replacement of caliper assembly. In this
case, suspend caliper assembly with wire so as not to
stretch brake hose.
Disassembly
1. Remove piston by turning it counterclockwise with long nose
pliers or suitable tool.
2. Pry off snap ring A from piston with suitable pliers and
remove adjusting nut.
