General Diagnosis
ConditionPossible causeCorrection
Brake PullTire inflation pressure is unequal.Adjust
Front wheel alignment is incorrect.Adjust
Unmatched tires on same axle.Tires with approx. the same amount
of tread should be used on the same
axle.
Restricted brake pipes or hoses.Check for soft hoses and damaged
lines. Replace with new hoses and
new double walled steel brake
piping.
Water or oil on the brake pads.Clean or replace.
Brake pads hardened.Replace
Brake pads worn excessively.Replace
Brake rotor worn or scored.Grind or replace.

Front hub bearing preload incorrect.Adjust or replace.
Loose suspension parts.Check all suspension mountings.
Loose calipers.Check and tighten the bolts to
specifications.
Brake Roughness or Chatter
(Pulsates)Excessive lateral runout.Check per instructions. If not within
specifications, replace or machine
the rotor.
Parallelism not within specifications.Check per instructions. If not within
specifications, replace or machine
the rotor.
Pad reversed (steel against iron).Replace the brake pad and machine
rotor to within specifications.
Excessive Pedal EffortMalfunctioning vacuum booster.Check the vacuum booster operation
and repair, if necessary.
Partial system failure.Check the front and rear brake
system for failure and repair. Also,
check the brake warning light. If a
failed system is found, the light
should indicate failure.
Excessively worn pad.Check and replace pads in sets.
Piston in caliper stuck or sluggish.Remove caliper and rebuild.
Fading brakes due to incorrect pad.Remove and replace with original
equipment pad or equivalent.
Vacuum leak to vacuum booster.Check for ruptured or loose hose.
Check the direction of check valve
within vacuum hose.Correct vacuum hose direction.
Grease on the brake pads.Replace or clean.
Excessive Brake Pedal TravelAir in hydraulic circuit.Bleed the hydraulic circuit.
Level of brake fluid in the reservoir
too low.Replenish brake fluid reservoir to
specified level and bleed hydraulic
circuit as necessary.
Master cylinder push rod clearance
excessive.Adjust
Leakage in hydraulic system.Correct or replace defective parts.

5C±71 POWER±ASSISTED BRAKE SYSTEM
NOTE: Do not allow the fluid level in the reservoir to go
below the half±way mark.
12. Reconnect the brake pipe (1) to the master cylinder
and tighten the pipe.
13. Depress the brake pedal slowly once and hold it
depressed.
14. Loosen the rear wheel brake pipe (1) at the master
cylinder.
15. Retighten the brake pipe, then release the brake
pedal slowly.
16. Repeat steps 13 through 15 until no air comes out of
the port when the brake pipe is loosened
NOTE: Be very careful not to allow the brake fluid to come
in contact with painted surfaces.
330R200004
17. Bleed the air from the front wheel brake pipe
connection (2) by repeating steps 7 through 16.
Bleeding the Caliper
18. Bleed the air from each wheel in the order listed
below:

Right rear caliper or wheel cylinder

Left rear caliper or wheel cylinder

Right front caliper

Left front caliper
Conduct air bleeding from the wheels in the above
order. If no brake fluid comes out, it suggests that air
is mixed in the master cylinder. In this case, bleed air
from the master cylinder in accordance with steps 7
through 17, and then bleed air from the caliper or
wheel cylinder.
19. Place the proper size box end wrench over the
bleeder screw.
20. Cover the bleeder screw with a transparent tube, and
submerge the free end of the transparent tube in a
transparent container containing brake fluid.
21. Pump the brake pedal slowly three (3) times
(once/sec), then hold it depressed.
22. Loosen the bleeder screw until fluid flows through the
tube.
23. Retighten the bleeder screw.24. Release the brake pedal slowly.
25. Repeat steps 21 through 24 until the air is completely
removed.
It may be necessary to repeat the bleeding procedure
10 or more times for front wheels and 15 or more
times for rear wheels.
26. Go to the next wheel in the sequence after each wheel
is bled.
Be sure to monitor reservoir fluid level.
27. Depress the brake pedal to check if you feel
ªsponginessº after the air has been removed from all
wheel cylinders and calipers.
If the pedal feels ªspongyº, the entire bleeding
procedure must be repeated.
28. After the bleeding operation is completed on the each
individual wheel, check the level of the brake fluid in
the reservoir and replenish up to the ªMAXº level as
necessary.
29. Attach the reservoir cap.
If the diaphragm inside the cap is deformed, reform
it and install.
30. Stop the engine.
Flushing Brake Hydraulic System
It is recommended that the entire hydraulic system be
thoroughly flushed with clean brake fluid whenever new
parts are installed in the hydraulic system. Approximately
one quart of fluid is required to flush the hydraulic system.
The system must be flushed if there is any doubt as to the
grade of fluid in the system or if fluid has been used which
contains the slightest trace of mineral oil. All rubber parts
that have been subjected to a contaminated fluid must be
replaced.
Brake Pipes and Hoses
The hydraulic brake system components are
interconnected by special steel piping and flexible hoses.
Flexible hoses are used between the frame and the front
calipers, the frame and rear axle case and the rear axle
and the rear calipers.
When the hydraulic pipes have been disconnected for
any reason, the brake system must be bled after
reconnecting the pipe. Refer to
Bleeding the Brake
Hydraulic System
in this section.
Brake Hose Inspection
The brake hose should be inspected at least twice a year.
The brake hose assembly should be checked for road
hazard, cracks and chafing of the outer cover, and for
leaks and blisters. Inspect for proper routing and
mounting of the hose. A brake hose that rubs on
suspension components will wear and eventually fail. A
light and mirror may be needed for an adequate
inspection. If any of the above conditions are observed on
the brake hose, adjust or replace the hose as necessary.
CAUTION: Never allow brake components such as
calipers to hang from the brake hoses, as damage to
the hoses may occur.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) looks the same as
the MIL you are already familiar with (ªCHECK ENGINEº
lamp). However, OBD II requires for it illuminate under a
strict set of guidelines. Basically, the MIL is turned on
when the PCM detects a DTC that will impact the vehicle's
emissions.
The MIL is under the control of the Diagnostic Executive.
The MIL will be turned on if a component or system which
has an impact on vehicle emissions indicates a
malfunction or fails to pass an emissions±related
diagnostic test. It will stay on until the system or
component passes the same test, for three consecutive
trips, with no emissions±related faults.
DTC Types
Each DTC is directly related to a diagnostic test. The
Diagnostic Management System sets DTC based on the
failure of the tests during a trip or trips. Certain tests must
fail two (2) consecutive trips before the DTC is set. The
following are the four (4) types of DTCs and the
characteristics of those codes:

Type A

Emissions related

Requests illumination of the MIL of the first trip with a
fail

Stores a History DTC on the first trip with a fail

Stores a Freeze Frame (if empty) (DTC Information
for 6VE1 engine)

Stores a Fail Record

Updates the Fail Record each time the diagnostic
test fails

Type B

Emissions related

ªArmedº after one (1) trip with a fail

ªDisarmedº after one (1) trip with a pass

Requests illumination of the MIL on the
second
consecutive trip
with a fail

Stores a History DTC on the second consecutive trip
with a fail (The DTC will be armed after the first fail)

Stores a Freeze Frame on the second consecutive
trip with a fail (if empty) (DTC Information for 6VE1
engine)

Stores a Fail Record when the first test fails (not
dependent on
consecutive trip fails)

Updates the Fail Record each time the diagnostic
test fails
(Some special conditions apply to misfire and fuel trim
DTCs)

Type C (if the vehicle is so equipped)

Non-Emissions related

Requests illumination of the Service Lamp or the
service message on the Drive Information Center
(DIC) on the
first trip with a fail

Stores a History DTC on the
first trip with a fail


Does not store a Freeze Frame

Stores Fail Record when test fails

Updates the Fail Record each time the diagnostic
test fails

Type D

Non-Emissions related

Not request illumination of any lamp

Stores a History DTC on the
first trip with a fail


Does not store a Freeze Frame

Stores Fail Record when test fails

Updates the Fail Record each time the diagnostic
test fails
