A: REMOVAL
NOTE:
The airbag system wiring harness is routed near
the center brake pipe.
CAUTION:
•All airbag system wiring harness and con-
nectors are colored yellow. Do not use electri-
cal test equipment on these circuits.
•Be careful not to damage the airbag system
wiring harness when servicing the center brake
pipe.
•When removing the brake pipe, do not bend.

C: INSPECTION
Make sure there are no cracks, breakage or dam-
age on hoses. Check the joint for fluid leakage. If
any cracks, breakage, damage or fluid leakage is
found, repair or replace the pipes.
NOTE:
Use a mirror when inspecting back sides and other
locations which are hard to see.
