BRAKE
INSPECTION
1. INSPECT BRAKE LINE PIPES AND BOOTS
HINT:
Inspect in a well±lighted area. Inspect the entire circumference
and length of the brake hoses using a mirror as required. Turn
the front wheels fully right or left before inspecting the front
brake.
(a) Check all brake lines and hoses for:

Damage

Wear

Deformation

Cracks

Corrosion

Leaks

Bends

Twists
(b) Check all clamps for tightness and connections for leak-
age.
(c) Check that the hoses and lines are clear of sharp edges,
moving parts and the exhaust system.
(d) Check that the lines installed in grommets pass through
the center of the grommets.
2. INSPECT FRONT AND REAR BRAKE PADS AND
DISCS
(Front pads: See page BR±25)
(Rear pads: See page BR±34)
HINT:
If a squealing or scraping noise occurs from the brake during
driving, check the pad wear indicator.
If there are traces of the indicator contacting the disc rotor, the
disc pad should be replaced.

REPLACEMENT
1. REMOVE FRONT WHEEL
2. INSPECT PAD LINING THICKNESS
Check the pad thickness and replace pads if not within specifi-
cation.
Minimum thickness: 1.0 mm (0.039 in.)
3. REMOVE CLIP, 2 PINS AND ANTI±RATTLE SPRING
4. REMOVE 2 PADS WITH 4 ANTI±SQUEAL SHIMS
NOTICE:
The anti±rattle spring and clip can be used again provided
that they have sufficient rebound, no deformation, cracks
or wear, and have had all rust, dirt and foreign particles
cleaned off.
5. CHECK DISC THICKNESS AND RUNOUT
(See page BR±30)
6. INSTALL NEW PADS
NOTICE:
When replacing worn pads, the anti±squeal shims must be
replaced together with the pads.
(a) Draw out a small amount of brake fluid from the reservoir.
(b) Press in the pistons with a monkey wrench handle or
equivalent.
HINT:

Tape the monkey wrench handle before use.

Always change the pad on one wheel at a time as there
is a possibility of the opposite piston flying out.

If the piston is difficult to push in, loosen the bleeder plug
and push in the piston while letting some brake fluid es-
cape.
(c) Install the 4 anti±squeal shims to new pads.

REPLACEMENT
1. REMOVE REAR WHEEL
2. INSPECT PAD LINING THICKNESS
Check the pad thickness through the caliper inspection hole
and replace pads if not within the specification.
Minimum thickness: 1.0 mm (0.039 in.)
3. REMOVE BRAKE CALIPER
(a) Remove the 2 sliding pins.
(b) Remove the caliper and suspend it so the hose is not
stretched.
HINT:
Do not disconnect the flexible hose.
4. REMOVE 2 PADS WITH 2 ANTI±SQUEAL SHIMS
5. REMOVE 4 PAD SUPPORT PLATES
NOTICE:
The pad support plates can be used again provided that
they have sufficient rebound, no deformation, cracks or
wear, and have had all rust, dirt and foreign particles
cleaned off.
6. CHECK DISC THICKNESS AND RUNOUT
(See page BR±39)
7. INSTALL PAD SUPPORT PLATES
8. INSTALL NEW PADS
NOTICE:
When replacing worn pads, the anti±squeal shims must be
replaced together with the pads.
(a) Install the pad wear indicator plate on new inner pad.
(b) Install the anti±squeal shim on each pad.
(c) Install the inner pad with the pad wear indicator plate fac-
ing downward.
(d) Install outer pad.
NOTICE:
There should be no oil or grease adhering to the friction
surfaces of the pads or the disc.
9. INSTALL CALIPER
(a) Draw out a small amount of brake fluid from the reservoir.

The brake pad wear limit indicators on
your disc brakes give a warning noise
when the brake pads are worn to where
replacement is required.
If you hear a squealing or scraping noise
while driving, have the brake pads
checked and replaced by your Toyota
dealer as soon as possible. Expensive ro-
tor damage can result if the pads are not
replaced when necessary.The vehicle identification number (VIN)
is the legal identifier for your vehicle.
This number is on the left top of the
instrument panel, and can be seen
through the windshield from outside.
This is the primary identification number
for your Toyota. It is used in registering
the ownership of your vehicle.The vehicle identification number (VIN) is
also on the Certification Label.

To check the fluid level, simply look at
the see±through reservoir. The level
should be between the ªMAXº and
ªMINº lines on the reservoir.
It is normal for the brake fluid level to go
down slightly as the brake pads wear. So
be sure to keep the reservoir filled.
If the reservoir needs frequent refilling, it
may indicate a serious mechanical prob-
lem.
If the level is low, add SAE J1703 or
FMVSS No.116 DOT 3 brake fluid to the
brake reservoir.Remove and replace the reservoir cap by
hand. Fill the brake fluid to the dotted
line. This brings the fluid to the correct
level when you put the cap back on.
Use only newly opened brake fluid. Once
opened, brake fluid absorbs moisture from
the air, and excess moisture can cause a
dangerous loss of braking.
CAUTION
Take care when filling the reservoir
because brake fluid can harm your
hands or eyes. If fluid gets on your
hands or in your eyes, flush the af-
fected area with clean water immedi-
ately. If you still feel uncomfortable
with your hands or eyes, go to the
doctor.
NOTICE
If you spill the fluid, be sure to wash
it off with water to prevent it from
damaging the parts or paint.

Check the fluid level through the reser-
voir. If necessary, add automatic trans-
mission fluid DEXRONII or III.
If the vehicle has been driven around 80
km/h (50 mph) for 20 minutes (a little
more in frigid temperatures), the fluid is
hot (60CÐ80C or 140FÐ175F). You
may also check the level when the fluid
is cold (about room temperature,
10CÐ30C or 50FÐ85F) if the engine
has not been run for about five hours.
