Please refer to the Hand-Held Tester Operator's Manual for fur-
ther details.
(d) Bleed the air out of the regular brake line in ºStep1: In-
creaseº on the hand-held tester display.
NOTICE:
Perform the air bleeding by following the steps dis-
played on the hand-held tester.
Make sure that the brake fluid in the master cylinder
reservoir tank does not become empty.
(1) Connect the vinyl tube to either one of the bleeder
plugs.
(2) Depress the brake pedal several times, then loosen
the bleeder plug of one of the above wheels with the
pedal depressed.
(3) When fluid stops coming out, tighten the bleeder
plug, then release the brake pedal.
(4) Repeat (2) and (3) until all air in the fluid is complete-
ly bled out.
(5) Tighten the bleeder plug certainly.
Torque: 8.3 NVm (85 kgfVcm, 73 in.Vlbf)
(6) Repeat the above procedure to bleed the air out of
the brake line for each wheel.
(e) Bleed the air out of the suction line in ºStep2: Inhalationº

ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. INSPECT BRAKE BOOSTER
(a) Air tightness check.
(1) Start the engine and stop it after 1 or 2 minutes. De-
press the brake pedal several times slowly.
HINT:
If the pedal goes down farthest the 1st time, but gradually rises
after the 2nd or 3rd time, the booster is air tight.
(2) Depress the brake pedal while the engine is run-
ning, and stop the engine with the pedal depressed.
HINT:
If there is no change in the pedal reserve distance after holding
the pedal for 30 seconds, the booster is air tight.
(b) Operating check.
(1) Depress the brake pedal several times with the igni-
tion switch OFF and check that there is no change
in the pedal reserve distance.
(2) Depress the brake pedal and start the engine.
HINT:
If the pedal goes down slightly, operation is normal.
2. INSPECT VACUUM CHECK VALVE
(a) Check vacuum check valve.
(1) Slide the clip and disconnect the vacuum hose.
(2) Remove the vacuum check valve.
(3) Check that there is ventilation from the booster to
engine, and no ventilation from the engine to the
booster.
(4) If any fault is found, replace the vacuum check
valve.
