BRAKE FLUID
BRAKE FLUID
InspectionINFOID:0000000006222463
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL
 Check that the fluid level in the reservoir tank is within the specified range (MAX – MIN lines).
CAUTION:
Turn OFF the ignition switch an d depress the brake pedal 20 times or more to check brake fluid level.
NOTE:
Since brake fluid is in the accumulator in pressurized condition, the reservoir tank brake fluid level should be
lower than the MAX line.
 Visually check for any brake fluid leakage around the reservoir tank.
 Check the brake system for any leakage if the fl uid level is extremely low (lower than MIN).
 Check the brake system for fluid leakage if the warn ing lamp remains illuminated even after the parking
brake is released.
 Check the reservoir tank for the mixing of foreign matter (e.g. dust) and oils other than brake fluid.
BRAKE LINE
1. Check brake line (tubes and hoses) for cracks, deterioration or other damage. Replace any damaged
parts.
2. Depress the brake pedal with a force of 490 N (50 kg, 110 lb) and hold down the pedal for approx. 5 seconds with the engine
running. Check for any fluid leakage.
CAUTION:
Retighten the applicable conn ection to the specified torque
and repair any abnormal (damag ed, worn or deformed) part
if any brake fluid leakage is present.
DrainingINFOID:0000000006222464
FRONT BRAKE
CAUTION:
 If the brake fluid adheres to the brake caliper assembly and disc rotor, quickly wipe it off.
 Never spill or splash brake fluid on painted surfaces. Brake fluid may seriously damage paint. Wipe it
off immediately and wash with wate r if it gets on a painted surface.
 Never operate the brake pedal with the reservoir cap removed. Failure to do this may cause the scat-
tering of brake fluid.
 Never operate the brake pedal excessively during the work procedure.
1. Turn the ignition switch ON.
2. Connect a vinyl tube to the bleed valve.
3. Depress the brake pedal and loosen the bleeder valve.
4. Depress the brake pedal several time gradually discharge brake fluid.
REAR BRAKE
CAUTION:
 If the brake fluid adheres to the brake caliper assembly and disc rotor, quickly wipe it off.
 Never spill or splash brake fluid on painted surfaces. Brake fluid may seriously damage paint. Wipe it
off immediately and wash with wate r if it gets on a painted surface.
 Never operate the brake pedal with the reservoir cap removed. Failure to do this may cause the scat- tering of brake fluid.
 Never operate the brake pedal excessively during the work procedure.
1. Turn the ignition switch ON.

warning lamp, ABS warning lamp, and brake warning lamp turn OFF. After these steps, erase self-
diagnosis results for “ABS” with CONSULT-III.
- DTC other than “C118E” is detected: Refer to BRC-51, "
DTC Index".
NOTE:
When the ignition switch is ON, the brake warning la mp may turns ON even when the parking brake pedal is
released with the brake fluid within the specified level. This indicates the decrease in accumulator fluid pres-
sure.
MOTOR/ACCUMULATOR ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
 If the brake fluid adheres to the brake caliper assembly and disc rotor, quickly wipe it off.
 Never spill or splash brake fluid on painted surfaces. Brake fluid may seriously damage paint. Wipe it
off immediately and wash with wate r if it gets on a painted surface.
 Never operate the brake pedal with the reservoir cap removed. Failure to do this may cause the scat-
tering of brake fluid.
 Never operate the brake pedal excessively during the work procedure.
 Monitor the fluid level in the reservoir tank while performing the air bleeding.
 Bleed air in the following order: motor/accumulator assembly → front right brake → front left brake
→ rear left brake → and rear right brake.
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Depress the brake pedal 20 times or more.
3. Check that there is no foreign material in the reservoir tank, and refill with new brake fluid. CAUTION:
 Never reuse drained brake fluid.
 Never allow oils other than brake fluid to enter the reservoir tank.
4. Turn the ignition switch ON. NOTE:
The motor is activated and automatically stops.
5. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
6. Depress the brake pedal 20 times or more. NOTE:
The pressure loss in the accumulator results in a large brake pedal stroke. In addition to this, the brake
pedal depression becomes lighter in initial stage.
7. Repeat steps 4 to 6 for 5 times.
8. Turn the ignition switch ON to check that the time between motor activation and automatic stop is less
than 18 seconds. If the time is 18 seconds or more, repeat from Step 4 to 8.
FRONT BRAKE
CAUTION:
 If the brake fluid adheres to the brake caliper assembly and disc rotor, quickly wipe it off.
 Never spill or splash brake fluid on painted surfaces. Brake fluid may seriously damage paint. Wipe it
off immediately and wash with wate r if it gets on a painted surface.
 Never operate the brake pedal with the reservoir cap removed. Failure to do this may cause the scat- tering of brake fluid.

BRAKE PAD
BRAKE PAD : Inspection and AdjustmentINFOID:0000000006222468
INSPECTION
Check the thickness of brake pad from the inspection hole (A) on
brake caliper assembly. Check use a scale if necessary.
ADJUSTMENT
CAUTION:
 Burnish contact surfaces between pads according to the following procedure after refinishing or
replacing brake pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.
 Be careful of vehicle speed because the brake does not operate firmly/securely until pads and disc
rotor are securely fitted.
 Only perform this procedure under safe road and traffic conditions. Use extreme caution.
1. Drive vehicle on straight, flat road.
2. Depress brake pedal with the power to stop vehicl e within 3 to 5 seconds until the vehicle stops.
3. Drive without depressing brake for a few minutes to cool the brake.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 until pad and disc rotor are securely fitted.
DISC ROTOR
DISC ROTOR : Inspec tion and AdjustmentINFOID:0000000006222469
INSPECTION
Appearance
Check surface of disc rotor for uneven wear, cracks, and serious damage. Replace it if necessary. Refer to
FA X - 8 , "
Removal and Installation" (2WD), FAX-18, "Removal and Installation" (AWD).
Runout
1. Fix the disc rotor to the wheel hub and bearing assembly with wheel nuts (2 points at least).
2. Check the wheel bearing axial end play before the inspection. Refer to FA X - 7 , "
Inspection" (2WD), FAX-
16, "Inspection" (AWD).
3. Inspect the runout with a dial indicator to measure at 10 mm (0.39 in) inside the disc edge.
4. Find the installation position that has a minimum runout by shift-
ing the disc rotor-to-wheel hub and bearing assembly installation
position by one hole at a time if the runout exceeds the limit
value.
5. Refinish the disc rotor if the runout is outside the limit even after performing the above operation. [When refinishing, use the Pro-
Cut PEM On-Car brake Lathe (Tool No. 38-PFM90.5) or equiva-
lent.]
