Checking Brake Fluid LevelBFS000BI

Make sure that a brake fluid level in reservoir tank is within the
standard (between MAX and MIN lines).

Visually check around reservoir tank for fluid leakage.

If fluid level is excessively low, check brake system for leakage.

Release parking brake pedal and see if brake warning lamp
goes off. If not, check brake system for fluid leakage.
Drain and RefillBFS000BJ
CAUTION:

Refill with new brake fluid “DOT 3 or DOT 4”.

Do not reuse drained brake fluid.

Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it way cause paint damage. If brake fluid is
splashed on painted surfaces of the body, immediately wipe off them and wash it away with water
immediately.

Before working, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect electrical connector of ABS actuator and
electric unit (control unit) or battery cables.
1. Connect a vinyl tube to bleed valve.
2. Depress brake pedal, loosen bleed valve, and gradually remove
brake fluid.
3. Clean inside of reservoir tank, and refill with new brake fluid.
4. Rest foot on brake pedal. Loosen bleed valve. Slowly depress
brake pedal until it stops. Tighten bleed valve. Release brake
pedal. Repeat this process a few time, them pause to and new
brake fluid to master cylinder. Continue until new brake fluid
flows out.
5. Bleed air. Refer to BR-10, "
Bleeding Brake System" .

INSPECTION OF ABS WARNING LAMP AND BRAKE WARNING LAMP
×: ON —: OFF
Note 1: The brake warning lamp turns on during parking brake operation (when switch is on) and brake fluid level sensor operation
(insufficient brake fluid).
Note 2: Turns off after engine start
1. Make sure that when the ignition switch is turned ON, the ABS warning lamp turns ON for approximately 1
second, and that the brake warning lamp turns on. If they do not turn on, perform CAN communication
system diagnosis. Refer to BRC-29, "
CAN Communication System" .
2. Check if the ABS warning lamp turns off approximately 1 second after the ignition switch is turned ON,
and if the brake warning lamp turns off after the engine is started. If they do not turn off, perform self-diag-
nosis.
3. If ABS warning lamp has not turned off 10 seconds after the engine has been started, perform self-diagno-
sis of the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).
4. Always erase the self-diagnostic results after completing self-diagnosis. Refer to BRC-17, "
ERASE MEM-
ORY" .
NOTE:
Brake warning lamp turns on during parking brake operation (when switch is ON) and brake fluid level
sensor operation (insufficient brake fluid).

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS

Basic InspectionBFS000E7
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL, LEAKAGE AND BRAKE PAD
1. Check fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir tank. Refill the brake fluid if fluid level is low.
2. Check the area around the brake piping and actuator for leakage. If leakage or oozing is detected, check
as follows:

If ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connections are loose, tighten connections to the speci-
fied torque. Check again for leakage, and make sure that there is no fluid leakage.

If the flare nuts at the connections and the threads of the actuator are damaged, replace the damaged
parts. Then check again for leakage, and make sure that there is no fluid leak.

If leakage or oozing is detected on parts other than actuator connections, wipe with a clean cloth and
check again. If there is still leakage or oozing, replace the damaged part.

If leakage or oozing is detected on actuator body, wipe with a clean cloth and check again. If there is
still leakage or oozing, replace ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).
CAUTION:
ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) cannot be disassembled.
3. Check brake pad for wear. Refer to BR-26, "
PAD WEAR INSPECTION" , “FRONT DISC BRAKE”, BR-33,
"PAD WEAR INSPECTION" , “REAR DISC BRAKE”.
POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT TERMINAL LOOSENESS AND BATTERY
Check battery for looseness on the battery positive/negative terminal and ground connection. Also make sure
that battery voltage does not drop.

1. Make sure that when the ignition switch is turned ON, the ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp
(when VDC OFF switch is off), and SLIP indicator lamp turn on for approximately 1 second, and that the
brake warning lamp turns on. If they do not turn on, perform CAN communication system diagnosis. Refer
to BRC-81, "
CAN Communication System" . Be sure to check VDC OFF switch before checking VDC OFF
indicator lamp. Refer to BRC-81, "
VDC OFF SWITCH" . Check combination meter if there is no malfunc-
tion in CAN communication system and VDC OFF switch. Refer to DI-4, "
COMBINATION METERS" .
2. Check if the ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp turn off approximately
1 second after the ignition switch is turned ON, and if the brake warning lamp turns off after the engine is
started. If they do not turn off, perform self-diagnosis.

4. Perform self-diagnosis of ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) if ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indi-
cator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp do not turn off 10 seconds after engine is started.

CVT FLUIDPFP:KLE50
Checking CVT FluidBCS001FX
Fluid level should be checked with the fluid warmed up to 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F). The fluid level check pro-
cedure is as follows:
1. Check for fluid leakage.
2. With the engine warmed up, drive the vehicle in an urban area.
When ambient temperature is 20°C (68°F), it takes about 10
minutes for the CVT fluid to warm up to 50 to 80°C (122 to
176°F).
3. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
4. Apply parking brake firmly.
5. With engine at idle, while depressing brake pedal, move shift
selector throughout the entire shift range.
6. Pull out the CVT fluid level gauge from the CVT fluid charging
pipe after pressing the tab on the CVT fluid level gauge to
release the lock.
7. Wipe fluid off the CVT fluid level gauge. Insert the CVT fluid
level gauge rotating 180° from the originally installed position,
then securely push the CVT fluid level gauge until it meets the
top end of the CVT fluid charging pipe.
CAUTION:
When wiping away the CVT fluid level gauge, always use
lint-free paper, not a cloth rag.
8. Place the selector lever in “P” or “N” and make sure the fluid
level is within the specified range.
CAUTION:
When reinstalling CVT fluid level gauge, insert it into the
CVT fluid charging pipe and rotate it to the original installa-
tion position until it is securely locked.

STALL TEST
Stall Test Procedure
1. Inspect the amount of engine oil. Replenish the engine oil if necessary.
2. Drive for about 10 minutes to warm up the vehicle so that the
CVT fluid temperature is 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F). Inspect the
amount of CVT fluid. Replenish if necessary.
3. Securely engage the parking brake so that the tires do not turn.
4. Install a tachometer where it can be seen by driver during test.

It is good practice to mark the point of specified engine
rpm on indicator.
5. Start engine, apply foot brake, and place selector lever in “D”
position.
6. While holding down the foot brake, gradually press down the
accelerator pedal.
7. Quickly read off the stall speed, and then quickly remove your
foot from the accelerator pedal.
CAUTION:
Do not hold down the accelerator pedal for more than 5 sec-
onds during this test.
8. Move the selector lever to the “N” position.
9. Cool down the CVT fluid.
