CHECKING BRAKE FLUID LEVEL
• Make sure the fluid level in the reservoir tank is within the standard (between MAX and MIN lines).
• Visually check around the reservoir tank for fluid leaks.
• If fluid level is excessively low, check brake system for fluid leaks.
• Release parking brake lever and see if brake warning lamp goes off. If not, check brake system for fluid leaks.
Drain and RefillINFOID:0000000005396981
CAUTION:
• Refill using recommended brake fluid. Refer to MA-14, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
• Never reuse drained brake fluid.
• Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is
splashed on painted areas, immediately wipe th em with cloth and wash it away with water.
• Before working, disconnect connect ors of ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) or battery
negative terminal.
1. Connect a vinyl tube to bleed valve.
2. Depress the brake pedal, loosen the bleed valve, and gradually remove the brake fluid.
3. Clean inside of reservoir tank, and refill with new brake fluid.
4. Loosen bleed valve, depress brake pedal slowly to full stroke and then release it. Repeat the procedure every 2 or 3 seconds
until the new brake fluid comes out, then close the bleed valve
while depressing the brake pedal . Repeat the same procedure
for each wheel.
5. Bleed the air from the brake hydraulic system. Refer to BR-9,
"Bleeding Brake System" .
Bleeding Brake SystemINFOID:0000000005396982
CAUTION:
• While bleeding, pay attention to master cylinder fluid level.
• Before working, disconnect connectors of ABS actuator and electri c unit (control unit) or the battery
cable from the negative terminal.
1. Connect a vinyl tube to the rear right bleed valve.
2. Fully depress brake pedal 4 to 5 times.

3. With brake pedal depressed, loosen bleed valve to let the air out, and then tighten it immediately.
4. Repeat steps 2, 3 until no more air comes out.
5. Tighten bleed valve to specified torque. Refer to BR-25, "
Component" (front disc brake), BR-35, "Compo-
nent" (rear drum brake).
6. Following the steps 1 to 5 above, with master cylinder reservoir tank filled at least half way, bleed air from
the rear right, front left, rear left, and front right brake, in that order.

DUAL PROPORTIONING VALVE
Removal and InstallationINFOID:0000000005396987
Removal
1. Remove cowl top . Refer to EI-22, "Removal and Installation".
2. Disconnect brake lines from dual proportioning valve. • Mark brake lines for installation.
3. Remove dual proportioning valve bolt and dual proportioning valve.
4. Remove two bolts and bracket.
Installation
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• When installing brake lines to the dual proportioning valve, tighten to specifications. Refer to BR-11,
"Hydraulic Circuit".
InspectionINFOID:0000000005396988
CAUTION:
• Carefully monitor brake fluid level at master cylinder.
• Use the recommended new brake fluid. Refer to MA-14, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
• Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is
splashed on paint areas, wash it away with water immediately.
1. Connect a suitable brake fluid pressure gauge to air bleeders of front and rear brakes on either LH and RH side.
2. Bleed air from the brake fluid pressure gauge.
3. Check fluid pressure specific ation by depressing the brake pedal.
• If output pressure is out of specification, replace the dual proportioning valve.
Unit: kPa (kg/cm2, psi)
4. Bleed air after disconnecting the brake fluid pressure gauge. Refer to BR-9, "Bleeding Brake System".

1. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the intake manifold.
2. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the brake booster.
3. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the clip and re move the vacuum hose and vacuum tube assembly.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
• Because the vacuum hose at the intake manifold contains a built-in check valve, it must be installed
in the correct orientation. Refer to the stamp or label to confirm correct installation orientation.
Brake booster will not operate normally if ho se is installed in the reverse orientation.
• Insert vacuum hose at least 24 mm (0.94 in) on to the vacuum tube and vacuum fittings on the brake booster and intake
manifold as shown.
• Never use lubricating oil during assembly.

CAUTION:
• Clean dust on caliper and brake pad with a vacuum dust collector. Do not blow with compressed air.
• While removing brake pad or cylinder body, do not depress brake pedal because piston will pop out.
• It is not necessary to remove torque member mounting bolts and brake hose except for disassembly
or replacement of caliper assembly. In this case, hang cylinder body with a wire so that brake hose is
not under tension.
• Do not damage piston boot.
• If any shim is subject to serious corrosion, replace it with a new one.
• Keep rotor free from brake fluid.
• When replacing brake pad, replace shim with a new one.
