BASIC INSPECTION
FRONT DISC BRAKE
BRAKE PAD

PA D W E A R
Check pad thickness from the inspection holes on cylinder body.
Check using a scale if necessary.
DISC ROTOR
DISC ROTOR : InspectionINFOID:0000000003772415
VISUAL
Check surface of disc rotor for uneven wear, cracks, and serious damage. Replace as necessary.
RUNOUT
1. Attach disc rotor to wheel hub using wheel nuts (at two or more positions).
2. Inspect runout using a dial gauge placed at 10 mm (0.39 in) inside the disc edge.
NOTE:
Before measuring, make sure that wheel bearing axial end play
is within the specification. Refer to RAX-6, "
On-Vehicle Inspec-
tion and Service".
3. When runout exceeds limit value, displace mounting positions of disc rotor by one hole. And then find a position of the minimum value for runout.
4. If runout is outside the specified value after performing the above operation, turn disc rotor using Tool.

BRAKE BOOSTER
BRAKE BOOSTER
InspectionINFOID:0000000003772419
OPERATION
With engine stopped, change vacuum to atmospheric pressure by
depressing brake pedal several times. Then with brake pedal fully
depressed, start engine and when vacuum pressure reaches the
standard, make sure that clearance between brake pedal and floor
panel decreases.
AIR TIGHT
• Run engine at idle for approximately 1 minute, and stop it afterapplying vacuum to booster. Depress brake pedal normally to
change vacuum to atmospheric pressure. Make sure that distance
at intervals of 5 seconds between brake pedal and floor panel
gradually increases.
• Depress brake pedal while engine is running, and stop engine with pedal depressed. The pedal stroke should not change after holding pedal down for 30 seconds.

CAUTION:
• All hoses and piping (tubes) must be fr ee from excessive bending, twisting and pulling.
• Make sure there is no interference with other parts when turning the steering wheel both clockwise
and counterclockwise.
• The brake piping is an important safety part. If a brake fluid leak is detected, always disassemble the
parts. Replace applicable part with a new one, if necessary.
• Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is
splashed on painted areas, wash it away with water immediately.
• Do not bend or twist brake hose sharply, or strongly pull it.
• When removing components, cover connections so that no dirt, dust, or other foreign matter gets in.
• Refill with new specified brake fluid. Refer to MA-12, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
• Do not reuse drained brake fluid.

CAUTION:
Brake tubes and hoses are important safety parts. Always disassemble the parts and retighten their fit-
