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.
 Monitor the fluid level in the reservoir tank while performing the refilling.
1. Check that there is no foreign material in t he reservoir tank, and refill with new brake fluid.
CAUTION:
 Never reuse drained brake fluid.
 Never allow oils other than brake fl uid to enter the reservoir tank.
2. Turn the ignition switch ON.
3. Connect a vinyl tube to the bleed valve.
4. Depress the brake pedal and loosen the bleeder valve.
5. Depress the brake pedal several times until the re filled brake fluid is discharged and tighten the air
bleeder to the specified torque with the brake pedal depressed. Refer to BR-36, "
BRAKE CALIPER

 The VDC warning lamp, ABS warning lamp and br ake warning lamp turn ON and DTC “C118E” may
be detected in self-diagnosis result for “ABS” with CONSULT-III when the brake pedal is excessively
operated, such as air bleeding. This is not a system malfunction because this occurs due to the tem-
porary decrease in accumulator fl uid pressure. The system returns to normal condition when the
accumulator fluid pressure reaches the specified pressu re with the ignition switch ON and the VDC

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.

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.

LASER BEAM AIMING ADJUSTMENT
DescriptionINFOID:0000000006224293
OUTLINE OF LASER BEAM AIMING ADJUSTMENT
Always adjust the laser beam aiming after removing and installing or replacing the ICC sensor.
CAUTION:
The system does not operate normally
unless the laser beam aiming adjustment is performed. Always
perform it.
1. Set the ICC target board [SST: KV99110100 (J-45718)] to the correct position in front of the vehicle.
2. Set the laser beam aiming mode (“LASER BEAM AD JUST” on “Work support”) with CONSULT-III, and
then perform the adjustment according to the displa y. (Manually turn the up-down direction adjusting
screw for vertical adjustment. ICC sensor adjusts the automatic aiming for the horizontal direction.)
CAUTIONARY POINT FOR LASER BEAM AIMING ADJUSTMENT
CAUTION:
 For laser beam aiming adjustment, choose a level location where a view can be obtained without any
obstruction as far as 12 m (39 ft) or more in the forward direction.
 Adjust laser beam aiming for 5 second s or more after starting engine.
 Adjust the laser beam aiming with CONSULT-III. (The laser beam aiming cannot be adjusted without
CONSULT-III.)
 Never enter the vehicle during laser beam aiming adjustment.
 Never look directly into the laser beam sour ce (ICC sensor body window) during laser beam aiming
adjustment.
 Laser beam aiming adjustment is performed at idle. At this time, turn the headlamps OFF.
Work Procedure (Preparation)INFOID:0000000006224294
1.ADVANCE PREPARATION FOR LASER BEAM AIMING ADJUSTMENT
1. Adjust all tire pressure to the specified value.
2. Empty the vehicle. (Remove any luggage from the passenger compartment, luggage room, etc.)
3. Shift the selector lever to “P” pos ition, and release the parking brake.
4. Fully fill the fuel tank, and then check that t he coolant and oils are filled up to correct level.
5. Clean off the ICC sensor body window with a soft cloth.

get Board)".
Work Procedure (Setting The ICC Target Board)INFOID:0000000006224295
DESCRIPTION
Accurate adjustment of the laser beam requires t hat the ICC target board be accurately positioned.

 Check valve seat of reservoir tank cap.
- Check if valve seat (A) is swollen to the extent that the edge of the
metal plunger (B) cannot be seen when watching it vertically from
the top.
- Check if valve seat has no soil and damage.
 Pull negative-pressure valve to open it, and check that it close completely when released.
- Check that there is no dirt or dam age on the valve seat of reservoir
tank cap negative-pressure valve.
- Check that there are no unusualness in the opening and closing conditions of negative-pressure valve.
 Check reservoir tank cap relief pressure.
- When connecting reservoir tank cap to the radiator cap tester (commercial service tool) and the r adiator cap tester adapter (com-
mercial service tool) (A), apply engine coolant to the cap seal sur-
face.
 Replace reservoir tank cap if there is an unusualness related to the above three.
CAUTION:
When installing reservoir tank cap , thoroughly wipe out the water inlet filler neck to remove any waxy
residue or foreign material.

RADIATOR : InspectionINFOID:0000000006289662
Check radiator for mud or clogging. If neces sary, clean radiator as per the following:
 Be careful not to bend or damage radiator fins.
 When radiator is cleaned without removal, remove all surrounding parts such as radiator cooling fan shroud. Then tape harness and connectors to prevent water from entering.
1. Apply water by hose to the back side of the radiator core vertically downward.
2. Apply water again to all radiator core surfaces once per minute.
