Isolation Valve Test
Purpose: The purpose of this test is to detect brake
pipe and valve line harness wire for wrong connections
and valve trouble.
This test will help you confirm the result of your repair
service including the removal/reinstallation of brake
pipe, valve line harness and valve.
Test conditions: The ignition key is in the “ON” position
with the four wheels lifted up. The brake pedal is
stepped on, released and stepped on again with the
parking brake released.
Test procedure:
1. Connect Tech 2 with the vehicle, and select
Actuaor Test from the menus.
2. Select a Solenoid Valve Test Menu from the
Actuaor Test Menus.

060L300002
3. Select Isolation Valve from the Valve Select Menus.
4. Step on the brake pedal.
5. Release the brake pedal.
6. Make sure that the Isolation Valve “ON” aimed at by
Tech 2 and the wheel locked position are the same.
If different, check brake pipe, valve line harness
wiring and H/UNIT. Repair is needed if abnormality
is found.
7. Conduct Step 2 through Step 5 above on all the
four wheels.

060L300002
CAUTION: When conducting this test, please
observe the following cautions.

1. Do not start the engine.
2. Lift up the vehicle at a level floor.





Secure a clearance from the floor surface
enough to allow the lifted tire to rotate.
3. Maintain the lift up.
4. Wipe the floor surface to remove water and oil
so that the surface may become unslippery.
5. Do not load the vehicle.





When lifting up the vehicle, be sure to
observe the lifting up points. Refer to
vehicle lifting points in 0A section.

Test procedure:
1. Connect Tech 2 with the vehicle, and select

BRAKES 5C-25


Filling Master Cylinder Reservoir
CAUTION :
Use only specified brake fluid. Do not use any fluid which
contains a petroleum base. Do not use a container which
has been used for petroleum based fluids or a container
which is wet with water. Petroleum based fluid will cause
swelling and distortion of rubber parts in the hydraulic
brake system. Water mixed with brake fluid lowers the
fluid boiling point. Keep all fluid containers capped to
prevent contamination.
Always fill the master cylinder reservoir when the engine
is cold.
Never allow the brake fluid to come in contact with the
painted surfaces.
The master cylinder reservoir must be kept properly filled
to ensure adequate reserve and to prevent air and
moisture from entering the hydraulic system. However,
because of expansion due to heat absorbed from the
brakes and the engine, the reservoir must not be
overfilled. Thoroughly clean reservoir cap before removal
to avoid getting dirt into reservoir. Add fluid as required to
bring level to the “MAX” mark on the reservoir tank. Use
“DOT 3” Hydraulic Brake Fluid.

Leakage of Brake Fluid
With engine idling, set shift lever in the neutral position and
continue to depress brake pedal at a constant pedal
application force.
Should the pedal stroke become deeper gradually, leakage
from the hydraulic pressure system is possible.
Make sure by visual check that there is no leak.




BLEEDING OF THE BRAKE HYDRAULIC
CIRCUIT
If air enters the bake lines, it will cause poor brake action.
Therefore, bleeding should be performed if the brakes have
been used with the level of brake fluid in the reservoir
excessively low or if brake pipes have been disconnected in
the course of brake servicing.
Bleeding operation calls for co-operative action of 2 persons.

Set the parking brake firmly while bleeding.

Perform bleeding operation with ENGINE RUNNING, to
prevent damage to push rod seal.

Make sure exhaust is suitably ventilated.

Bleed the hydraulic system with the fluid reservoir filled to
the specified level.

Bleed the system starting with the rear wheel cylinde
r
farthest from the master cylinder.
