Diagnostic Information and Procedures
Brakes Diagnosis NoteS7RS0B4104001
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 vari ous speeds to determine 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
wheel alignment and front suspension attachments for
looseness. See diagnosis table for other causes. Brake Fluid Leaks
Check the master cylinder fl
uid levels. While a slight
drop in reservoir level does result from normal lining
wear, an abnormally low leve l indicates a leak in the
system. In such a case, chec k the entire brake system
for leakage. If even a slight ev idence of leakage is noted,
the cause should be corrected or defective parts should
be replaced.
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 components in
the hydraulic system to deteriorate.

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 system,
including hoses. Also, when working on the brake
mechanisms, check for fluid on the linings.
If excessive fluid is found, replace the pads. If master cylinder piston seals
are satisfactory, check for
leakage or excessive heat co nditions. If leakage 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.

Repair Instructions
Parking Brake Inspection and AdjustmentS7RS0B4406001
Inspection
Hold center of parking brake lever grip and pull it up with
200 N (20 kg, 44 lbs) force.
With parking brake lever pulled up as shown, count
ratchet notches. There should be 4 to 9 notches.
Also, check if both right and left rear wheels are locked
firmly.
To count number of notches easily, listen to click sounds
that ratchet makes while pulling parking brake lever
without pressing its button.
One click sound corresponds to one notch.
If number of notches is out of specification, adjust cable
referring to adjustment procedure so as to obtain
specified parking brake stroke.
NOTE
Check tooth tip of each notch for damage or
wear.
If any damage or wear is found, replace
parking brake lever.

Adjustment
NOTE
Make sure for the following conditions before
cable adjustment.
• No air is trapped in brake system.
• Brake pedal travel is proper.
• Start engine and then brake pedal has been depressed at least 3 times with about
160 N (16.0 kg, 35.3 lbs) load.
• Parking brake lever (1) has been pulled up a few times with about 200 N (20 kg, 44 lbs)
load.
If parking brake cable is replaced with new
one, pull up parking brake lever a few
times with about 500 N ⋅m (50 kg, 110 lbs)
force.

1) Release parking brake lever (1).
2) Loosen parking brake lever adjust nut (2) fully.
3) Make sure that lever (3) contacts pin (4).
4) Pull up parking brake lever 1 notch.
5) Rotate rear wheel by hand and fasten parking lever adjust nut until dragging rear wheel lightly.
