Checking Brake Fluid Level EFS000C5
●Confirm reservoir tank fluid level is within specifications
(between MAX and MIN lines).
●Visually check around reservoir tank for fluid leaks.
●If fluid level is excessively low, check brake system for leaks.
●If warning lamp remains illuminated after parking lever is
released, check brake system for fluid leakage.
Checking Brake LineEFS001C5
CAUTION:
If leakage occurs around joints, retighten or, if necessary, replace damaged parts.
1. Check brake line (tube and hoses) for cracks, deterioration or
other damage. Replace and damaged parts.
2. Check for oil leakage by fully depressing brake pedal while
engine is running.
Changing Brake FluidEFS000C3
CAUTION:
●Refill with new brake fluid “DOT 3 or DOT 4”.
●Always keep fluid level higher than minimum line on reservoir tank.
●Never reuse drained brake fluid.
●Be careful not to splash brake fluid on spill or splash on painted areas; it may cause paint damage.
If brake fluid is splashed on painted areas, wash it away water immediately.
1. Connect a vinyl tube to the air bleeder.
2. Drain brake fluid gradually from the air bleeder of each wheel
while depressing the brake pedal.
3. Turn OFF ignition switch. Remove ABS actuator connector.

BRAKE PIPING AND HOSE
5. Refill brake fluid until new brake fluid comes out of each air bleeder.
6. Afterwards, bleed air.
Removal and Installation of Rear Brake Piping and Brake HoseEFS000C8
REMOVAL
CAUTION:
●Do not allow brake fluid to spill or splash on painted surfaces. Brake fluid can seriously damage
paint. If it gets on a painted surface, wipe it off immediately and wash with water.
●Do not bend or twist the brake hose sharply, or strongly pull it.
●Cover brake fluid line connections to prevent dust and other foreign material from entering.
1. Connect a vinyl tube to the air bleeder.
2. Drain brake fluid gradually from the air bleeder of each wheel while depressing the brake pedal.
3. Using a flare nut wrench, remove brake tube flare nuts and dis-
connect brake tube from the brake hose.
4. Remove lock spring.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
●Refill with new brake fluid “DOT 3” or “DOT 4”.
●Never reuse drained brake fluid.
1. Connect brake hose to the brake tube. Temporarily tighten flare nut by hand as far as it will go.
2. Fix brake hose by lock plate.
3. Tighten flare nut of brake tube by using a flare nut wrench with
specified torque.
4. Refill brake fluid until new brake fluid comes out of each air
bleeder.
5. Afterwards, bleed air.
InspectionEFS000C9
CAUTION:
If any connection leaks, retighten it. Replace any damaged parts.
1. Check hose, tube, and connections for fluid leaks, damage, twist, deformation, contact with other parts,
and loose connections.
2. Run the engine. Depress brake pedal and hold it for approximately 5 seconds while checking each part
for leaks.: 15 - 17 N·m (1.5 - 1.8 kg-m, 11 - 13 ft-lb)

On-Vehicle Inspection and ServiceEFS000CC
FUNCTION INSPECTION
With the engine stopped, discharge stored vacuum by depressing
brake pedal several times at 5 second intervals. With the brake
pedal fully depressed, start the engine. Confirm that clearance
between brake pedal and the floor panel decreases when engine
vacuum stabilizes.
AIRTIGHTNESS INSPECTION
●Run the engine at idle for approximately 1 minute. Stop it after
applying vacuum to the booster. Depress the brake pedal sev-
eral times with normal force to discharge the stored vacuum.
Confirm that clearance between brake pedal and the floor panel
gradually increases as the brake pedal is depressed.
●Run the engine. Depress and hold the brake pedal then stop the
engine. Keep the brake pedal depressed for 30 seconds or more
and make sure the pedal stroke does not change.
Removal and InstallationEFS000CD
REMOVAL
CAUTION:
●Be careful not to deform or bend brake piping while removing and installing the brake booster.
●Replace clevis pin if it is damaged.
●Be careful not to damage brake booster stud bolt threads. If brake booster is tilted or inclined dur-
ing installation, the dash panel may damage the threads.
●Be sure to install the check valve in the correct orientation.
1. Remove vacuum piping from the brake booster.
2. Remove master cylinder.
3. Remove snap pin and clevis pin on passenger compartment clevis. Remove input rod from the brake
pedal.
4. Remove brake booster and brake pedal assembly mounting nuts.
5. Remove booster assembly from the engine compartment.

VACUUM LINES
CHECK VALVE INSPECTION
Airtightness Inspection
Use a hand-held vacuum pump to check.
When connected to booster side (1):
Vacuum decrease should be within 1.3 kPa
(10 mmHg, 0.39 inHg) for 15 seconds under
a vacuum of -66.7 kPa (-500 mmHg, -19.69
inHg)
When connected to engine side (2):
No vacuum will be applied

System DescriptionEFS001CJ
ABS FUNCTION
●During ABS operation, brake pedal lightly vibrates and its mechanical noise may be heard. This is a nor-
mal condition.
●When starting engine, or just after starting vehicle, brake pedal may vibrate. Also motor operating noise
may be heard from engine compartment. This is a normal status of operation check.
● When vehicle drives on rough, gravel, or snowy (fresh deep snow) road, the following conditions occur.
Stopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles without ABS.
4WD FUNCTION
● Electronically controlled 4WD is controlled by the same control module as that for ABS (4WD/ABS control
unit). 4WD/ABS control unit controls both electronically-controlled 4WD and ABS, based on input signals
from several sensors.
●If electrical system-related malfunction occurred in 4WD/ABS system, control unit illuminates the following
lamps: 4WD warning lamp and/or ABS warning lamp on meter control unit assembly. This notifies driver of
malfunction. At the same time, control unit indicates malfunctioning part detected by self-diagnosis with
flashing pattern of LED. Indication on electronic system diagnosis tester (CONSULT) corresponds to this
flashing pattern as shown below.
