5) If rear brake pressure is not within specification, adjust it by
changing bolt (2) position as follows.
If rear brake pressure is higher than specification, move bolt
(2) center side and if it is lower, out side.
Repeat steps 3) and 4) until rear brake pressure is within
specification.
After adjustment, be sure to torque nut (1) to specification.
Tightening torque
LSPV nut (a) : 25 N·m (2.5 kg-m, 18.0 lb-ft)
6) Upon completion of fluid pressure test, bleed brake system
and perform brake test.
MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE FLUID
LEVEL INSPECTION
1) Check master cylinder and reservoir tank for crack, damage
and brake fluid leakage. If any faulty condition exists, correct
or replace.
2) Check that brake fluid level is between MAX and MIN marks
on reservoir tank.

1, (a)
NOTE:
Be sure to use particular brake fluid either as indicated
on reservoir cap of that vehicle or recommended in
owner’s manual which comes along with that vehicle.
Use of any other fluid is strictly prohibited.
Fluid level should be between MIN and MAX lines marked
on reservoir.
When brake warning lamp lights sometimes during driv-
ing, replenish fluid to MAX level.
When fluid decreases quickly, inspect brake system for
leakage. Correct leaky points and then refill to specified
level.
CAUTION:
Do not use shock absorber fluid or any other fluid which
contains mineral oil. Do not use a container which has
been used for mineral oil or a container which is wet from
water. Mineral oil will cause swelling and distortion of
rubber parts in hydraulic brake system and water mixed
into brake fluid will lower fluid boiling point. Keep all fluid
containers capped to prevent contamination.

referring to following “INSPECTION & ADJUSTMENT”.
INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT
1) Confirm the following before inspection and adjustment.
Fuel tank is filled with fuel fully.
Vehicle is equipped with spare tire, tools, jack and jack han-
dle.

Vehicle is placed on level floor.
2) Push up LSPV lever with finger till it stops and measure
length of coil spring (“a” in figure).
3) Spring length “a” should be as specified.
Spring length “a”
2WD : 144 mm (5.67 in.)
4WD : 148 mm (5.83 in.)
4) If it isn’t, adjust it to specification by changing spring position
as shown in figure. After adjustment, tighten nut (1) to speci-
fied torque.
Tightening torque
LSPV adjust nut (a) : 25 N·m (2.5 kg-m, 18.0 lb-ft)
5) Confirm fluid pressure referring to “Fluid Pressure Test”.
