REMOVAL
NOTICE:
Before starting the work, make sure that the ignition switch
is OFF and depress the brake pedal more than 40 times.
HINT:
When a pressure in power supply system is released, reaction
force becomes heavy.
NOTICE:

As high pressure is applied to the brake actuator
tube, never deform it.

Until the work is over, do not turn the ignition switch
ON.
1. DRAW OUT FLUID WITH SYRINGE
NOTICE:
Do not let brake fluid remain on a painted surface. Wash it
off immediately.
2. REMOVE OUTER FRONT COWL TOP PANEL
(See page BO±32)
3. REMOVE RESERVOIR, BRAKE ACTUATOR HOSE,
BRAKE RESERVOIR HOSE NO. 1, NO. 2 AND RES-
ERVOIR BRACKET
(a) Disconnect the fluid level warning switch connector from
the reservoir.
(b) Remove the 2 bolts from the reservoir.
Torque: 7.5 N´m (77 kgf´cm, 66 in.´lbf)
(c) Disconnect the 3 hoses from the reservoir and remove the
reservoir and 3 hoses.
(d) Disconnect the 3 hoses from the reservoir bracket clamp.
(e) Remove the 4 bolts and reservoir bracket.
Torque: 18 N´m (184 kgf´cm, 13 ft´lbf)
4. DISCONNECT LIQUID AND SUCTION TUBES

9. INSPECT BRAKE WARNING SYSTEM LIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connector from the brake fluid warning
switch.
(b) Connect terminals of the wire harness side of the level
warning switch connector.
(c) Start the engine, check that the warning light lights up.
If the warning light does not light up, test the bulb or wire har-
ness.
10. INSPECT BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WARNING SWITCH
CONTINUITY
(a) Remove the reservoir tank cap and strainer.
(b) Disconnect the connector.
(c) Check that no continuity exists between terminals with the
switch OFF (float up).
(d) Use syphon, etc. to take fluid out of the reservoir tank.
(e) Check that continuity exists between terminals with the
switch ON (float down).
(f) Pour the fluid back in the reservoir tank.
If operation is not as specified, replace the switch.
11. INSPECT PARKING BRAKE WARNING LIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connector from the parking brake switch.
(b) Ground terminal of the wire harness side connector.
(c) Start the engine, check that the warning light lights up.
If the warning light does not light up, test the bulb or inspect wire
harness.
12. INSPECT PARKING BRAKE SWITCH CONTINUITY
(a) Check that continuity exists between terminal and switch
body with the switch ON (switch pin released).
(b) Check that no continuity exists between terminal and
switch body with the switch OFF (switch pin pushed in).
If operation is not as specified, replace the switch or inspect
ground point.
