BRAKE FLUID
On Board InspectionINFOID:0000000005396980
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.

BRAKE TUBE AND HOSE
• All tubes and hoses must be free from excessive bending, twisting and pulling.
• Make sure there is no interference with other part s when turning steering both clockwise and coun-
terclockwise.
• Brake tubes and hoses are an important safety part. Always disassemble the parts and retighten
their fittings, if a brake fluid leak is detected. Replace applicable part with a new one, if damaged part
is detected.
• Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is
splashed on painted surfaces of body , immediately wipe them with cloth and then wash it away with
water.
• Do not bend or twist brake hose sharply, or strongly pull it.
• When removing components, cover brake line connect ions so that dirt, dust, or other foreign mat-
ters do not get in.
• Refill using recommended brake fluid. Refer to MA-14, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
• Never reuse drained brake fluid.

Inspection After InstallationINFOID:0000000005396986
CAUTION:
• Always disassemble the parts and retighten their fitti ngs, if a brake fluid leak is detected. Replace
applicable part with a new one, if damaged part is detected.
• If leak is detected at the connections, retighten it or replace the damaged part.
1. Check brake hose, tube, and connections for fluid leak s, damage, twisting, deformation, contact with other
parts, and loose connections.
2. While depressing pedal under a force of 785 N (80 kg-f, 177 lb-f) with the engine running for approxi- mately 5 seconds, check for fluid leaks from each part of the brake hydraulic system.
