6. Cut the remaining piece of tape into smaller pieces, attach it
again as it was before, and then remove the pieces one by
one to narrow down the source.
7. Check that wind noise occurs when the last remaining tape
is removed, and that noise does not occur when it is
re-attached.
8. When the source(s) of the wind noise is finally located,
attach butyl tape, body sealer or similar material to obstruct
this source as much as possible.

BASIC BRAKE SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS
BASIC BRAKE SYSTEM35A-3
BASIC BRAKE SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS
INTRODUCTION TO BASIC BRAKE SYSTEM DIAGNOSISM1351009700319
Hydraulic brakes are composed of the brake pedal,
master cylinder, brake booster and disc brakes. Mal-
functions such as insufficient braking power or the
generation of noise may occur due to wear, damage
or incorrect adjustment of these components.
BASIC BRAKE SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLESHOOTING STRATEGYM1351009800316
Use these steps to plan your diagnostic strategy. If
you follow them carefully, you will be sure that you
have exhausted most of the possible ways to find a
basic brake system fault.
1. Gather information from the customer.2. Verify that the condition described by the
customer exists.
3. Find the malfunction by following the symptom
chart.
4. Verify malfunction is eliminated.
SYMPTOM CHARTM1351009900324
SYMPTOM PROCEDURES
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 1: Vehicle Pulls to One Side when Brakes are Applied
.DIAGNOSIS
STEP 1. Check for oil, water, etc., on the pad
contact surface of all brakes.
Q: Is oil, water, etc., on the pad contact surface?
YES :
Replace the part and determine the
source/cause of foreign material. Then go to
St e p 5.
NO : Go to Step 2. SYMPTOM INSPECTION

BASIC BRAKE SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS
BASIC BRAKE SYSTEM35A-5
STEP 4. Check for pinched or restricted brake
tube or hose.
Q: Is there a pinched or restricted brake tube or hose?
YES :
Replace that complete section of brake tube
or brake hose. Then go to Step 7.
NO : Go to Step 5.
STEP 5. Check for oil, water, etc., on the pad
contact surfaces of all brakes.
Q: Is oil, water, etc., on the pad contact surface?
YES :
Replace the part and determine the
source/cause of foreign material. Recheck
symptom. Then go to Step 7.
NO : The procedure is complete. If condition
persists for vehicles without ABS, go to Step
6.
STEP 7. Recheck symptom.
Q: Is the symptom eliminated?
YES :
The procedure is complete.
NO : Start over at step 1. If a new symptom
surfaces, refer to the appropriate symptom
chart.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 3: Increased Pedal Stroke (Reduced Pedal-to-Floor Board Clearance)
.
DIAGNOSIS
STEP 1. Check for spongy (not firm) brakes.
(1) With engine not running, depress the brake pedal
rapidly several times to deplete booster vacuum
reserve.
(2) With the brake pedal fully released, depress the
brake pedal slowly until it stops.
(3) With a measuring device (ruler, etc.) next to the
brake pedal, depress the pedal firmly and
measure the distance the pedal traveled.
Q: Is the distance greater than 20 mm (0.8 inch)?
YES :
Bleed the brakes to remove air in the fluid
(Refer to P.35A-16). Then go to Step 7.
NO : Go to Step 2.
STEP 2. Check the pad for wear.
Refer to P.35A-17.
Q: Is the pad thickness outside of specifications?
YES :
Replace the part. Then go to Step 7.
NO : Go to Step 3.
STEP 3. Check the vacuum hose and check valve
for damage.
Refer to P.35A-15.
Q: Is there a damage?
YES :
Replace the part. Then go to Step 7.
NO : Go to Step 4.
STEP 4. Check the master cylinder function.
Refer to P.35A-23.
Q: Is there a fault?
YES :
Repair it. Then go to Step 7.
NO : Go to Step 5.
STEP 5. Check for brake fluid leaks.
Q: Is there a leak?
YES :
Check the connection for looseness,
corrosion, etc. Clean and repair as
necessary. If leaking in any tube or hose
section, replace the complete tube or hose.
Then go to Step 7 .
NO : Go to Step 6.
STEP 6. Check for excessive clearance between
the push rod and primary piston.
Refer to P.35A-26.
Q: Is the clearance outside of specifications?
YES :
Adjust the clearance. Then go to Step 7.
NO : Go to Step 7.
STEP 7. Recheck symptom.
Q: Is the symptom eliminated?
YES :
The procedure is complete.
NO : Start over at step 1. If a new symptom
surfaces, refer to the symptom chart.

DISC BRAKE ASSEMBLY
BASIC BRAKE SYSTEM35A-31
INSTALLATION SERVICE POINT
.
>>A<< BRAKE DRAG FORCE CHECK
1. In order to measure the brake drag force, measure the hub
torque with the pads removed by the following procedure.
Use a spring scale to measure the hub torque in the forward
direction. Record hub torque with pads removed.
Do not let any oil, grease or other contamination get onto
the friction surfaces of the pads and brake discs.
2. After re-installing the caliper support to the knuckle, install
the pad clips and the pads to the caliper support.
3. Clean the piston and insert into cylinder with special tool
MB990520.
4. Be careful that the piston boot does not become caught,
when lowering the caliper assembly and installing the lock
pin bolt.
5. Check the brake drag force as follows.
(1) Start the engine and hold the brake pedal down for 5
seconds. [Pedal depression force: approximately 200 N
(45 pound)]
(2) Stop the engine.
(3) Turn the brake disc forward 10 times.
