BRAKES 5-3
SUBSTANDARD OR
CONTAMINATED BRAKE FLUID
Improper brake fluid, mineral oil or water in the fluid
may cause the brake fluid to boil or the rubber compo-
nents in the hydraulic system to deteriorate.
If primary piston cups are swollen, then rubber parts
have deteriorated. This deterioration may also be evi-
denced by swollen wheel cylinder piston cups on the
drum brake wheels.
If deterioration of rubber is evident, disassemble all
hydraulic parts and wash with alcohol. Dry these parts
with compressed air before assembly to keep alcohol
out of the system. Replace all rubber parts in the sys-
tem, including hoses. Also, when working on the
brake mechanisms, check for fluid on the linings. If ex-
cessive fluid is found, replace the linings.
If master cylinder piston seals are satisfactory, check
for leakage or excessive heat conditions. If condition
is not found, drain fluid, flush with brake fluid, refill and
bleed 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 contained parts that have been subjected
to contaminated fluid.
DIAGNOSIS
ROAD TESTING BRAKES
Brakes should be tested on dry, clean, smooth and
reasonably level roadway which is not crowned. Road
test brakes by making brake applications with both
light and heavy pedal forces at various speeds to de-
termine if the vehicle stops evenly and effectively.
Also drive vehicle to see if it leads to one side or the
other without brake application. If it does, check the
tire pressure, front end alignment and front suspen-
sion attachments for looseness. See diagnosis chart
for other causes.
BRAKE FLUID LEAKS
Check the master cylinder fluid levels. While a slight
drop in reservoir level does result from normal lining
wear, an abnormally low level indicates a leak in the
system. In such a case, check the entire brake system
for leakage. If even a slight evidence of leakage is
noted, the cause should be corrected or defective
parts should be replaced.
If fluid level is lower than the minimum level of reser-
voir, refilling is necessary. Fill reservoir with specified
brake fluid.
Brake fluid: Refer to reservoir tank cap.
CAUTION:
Since brake system of this vehicle is factory-
filled with brake fluid indicated on reservoir
tank cap, do not use or mix different type of
fluid when refilling; otherwise serious damage
will occur.
Do not use old or used brake fluid, or any fluid
from a unsealed container.

LINE PRESSURE TEST
Purpose of this test is to check operating conditions of each part by
measuring fluid pressure in fluid pressure line. Line pressure test
requires following conditions.
Automatic fluid is at normal operating temperature (70 to 80C /
158 ± 176F).
Fluid is filled to proper level (between FULL HOT and LOW HOT
on dipstick).
1) Apply parking brake securely and place checks against wheels.
2) Attach oil pressure gauge to fluid pressure check hole in trans-
mission case.
Special Tool
(A): 09925-37810
CAUTION:
After attaching oil pressure gauge, check that not fluid
leakage exists.
3) Depress foot brake fully, run engine at idle and stall and then
check fluid pressure in ªDº or ªRº range.
CAUTION:
Do not continue running engine at stall speed longer than
5 seconds.

STALL TEST
This test is to check overall performance of automatic transmission
and engine by measuring stall speed at ªDº and ªRº ranges. Be sure
to perform this test only when transmission fluid is at normal operat-
ing temperature and its level is between FULL and LOW marks.
CAUTION:
Do not run engine at stall more than 5 seconds continu-
ously, for fluid temperature may rise excessively high.
After performing stall test, be sure to leave engine running
at idle for longer than 30 seconds before another stall test.
1) Apply parking brake and block wheels.
2) Install tachometer.
3) Start engine with select lever shifted to ªPº.
4) Depress brake pedal fully.
5) Shift select lever to ªDº and depress accelerator pedal fully while
watching tachometer. Read engine rpm quickly when it has be-
come constant (stall speed).
6) Release accelerator pedal immediately after stall speed is
checked.
7) In the same way, check stall speed in ªRº range.
