REMOVAL
WARNING:
Clean any dust from the brake caliper assembly and brake pads with a vacuum dust collector. Never
blow with compressed air.
CAUTION:
 Never depress the brake pedal while removing th e brake pads because the piston may pop out.
 If the brake fluid or grease adheres to the brake calip er assembly and disc rotor, quickly wipe it off.
1. Remove tires with power tool.
2. Remove lower sliding pin bolt.
3. Suspend the cylinder body with suitable wire so that the brake hose will not stretch.
4. Remove the pad return springs (1). Then remove brake pads, shims and shim covers.
CAUTION:
1. Outer shim cover 2. Outer shim 3. Outer pad
4. Torque member 5. Pad retainer 6. Pad return spring
7. Inner pad (with pad wear sensor) 8. Inner shim 9. Inner shim cover

and tires installed on the vehicle are the specified si ze and parts. Brake performance and controllability may
be negatively affected when other parts than the specified are installed.
 Brake stopping distance may become longer and steering stability may be negatively affected, when tires in
different size and combination or other parts than the specified are used.
 When a radio (including wiring), antenna and antenna lead line are located near ABS actuator and electric
unit (control unit), a malfunction or improper operation ma y occur for the control of VDC function, TCS func-
tion, ABS function, EBD function, hill start assist func tion or brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function.
 When the following items are replaced by other parts than genuine parts or modified, ABS warning lamp, brake warning lamp and VDC warning lamp may turn ON, and the control may not operate normally for VDC
function, TCS function, ABS function, EB D function, hill start assist function or brake limited slip differential
(BLSD) function.
- Suspension component parts (shock absorber, spring, bushing and others)
- Tire and wheel (other than the specified size)
- Brake component parts (brake pad, disc rotor, brake caliper and others)
- Engine component parts (ECM, muffler and others)
- Body reinforcement component parts (rollover bar, tower bar and others)
 When suspension, tire and brake component parts are excessively worn or deteriorated and the vehicle is
driven, ABS warning lamp, brake warning lamp and VDC warning lamp may tu\
rn ON, and the control may
not operate normally for VDC function, TCS function, ABS function, EBD function, hill start assist function or
brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function.
 ABS warning lamp, brake warning lamp and VDC warning lamp may turn ON, when only front wheel or rear wheel is rotated using a free roller. This is not a ma lfunction, because it is caused by wheel speed difference
between wheel that is rotated and wheel that is not rota ted. In this case, perform self-diagnosis, check self-
diagnosis results, and erase memory.
 When power supply voltage is not normal, ABS warning lamp, brake warning lamp and VDC warning lamp
turn ON. ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) st ops control for VDC function, TCS function, ABS func-
tion, EBD function, hill start assist function or brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function. Ordinary brake
operates. After power supply returns to normal, ABS warning lamp, brake warning lamp and VDC warning
lamp turn OFF. The control becomes operative for VD C function, TCS function, ABS function, EBD function,
hill start assist function or brake li mited slip differential (BLSD) function.
 VDC warning lamp may turn ON and VDC function or TCS function may not normally operate, when driving
on a special road the is extremely slanted (bank in a circ uit course). This is not a malfunction if the status
returns to normal for VDC function or TCS function after the engine is started again. In this case, perform
self-diagnosis, check self-diagnosis results, and erase memory.
 A malfunction in yaw rate/side/decel G sensor syste m may be detected when the vehicle sharply turns dur-
ing a spin turn, acceleration turn or drift driving while VDC function or TCS function are OFF (VDC OFF
switch is pressed and VDC OFF indicator lamp is in ON st atus). This is not a malfunction if the status returns
to normal for VDC function or TCS function after the engine is started again. In this case, perform self-diag-
nosis, check self-diagnosis results, and erase memory
Precaution for Harness RepairINFOID:0000000006222558
