BRAKE FLUID

BRAKE FLUID

Inspection

INFOID:0000000009949201

BRAKE FLUID LEVEL

• Check that the fluid level in the reservoir tank is within the specified

range (MAX – MIN lines).

• Visually check for any brake fluid leakage around the reservoir

tank.

• Check the brake system for any leakage if the fluid level is

extremely low (lower than MIN).

• Check the brake system for fluid leakage if the warning 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 785 N (80 kg, 176 lb)
and hold down the pedal for approximately 5 seconds with the
engine running. Check for any fluid leakage.

CAUTION:

Retighten the applicable connection to the specified torque
and repair any abnormal (damaged, worn or deformed) part
if any brake fluid leakage is present.

Draining

INFOID:0000000009949202

CAUTION:

• Never spill or splash brake fluid on painted surfaces. Brake fluid may seriously damage paint. Wipe it

off immediately and wash with water if it gets on a painted surface.

• Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) con-

nector or the battery negative terminal before performing work.

1.

Connect a vinyl tube to the bleed valve.

2.

Depress the brake pedal and loosen the bleeder valve to gradu-
ally discharge brake fluid.

Refilling

INFOID:0000000009949203

CAUTION:

• Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) con-

nector or the battery negative terminal before performing work.

• Never allow foreign matter (e.g. dust) and oils other than brake fluid to enter the reservoir tank.

1.

Check that there is no foreign material in the reservoir tank, and
refill with new brake fluid.

CAUTION:

Never reuse drained brake fluid.

2.

Loosen the bleeder valve, slowly depress the brake pedal to the
full stroke, and then release the pedal. Repeat this operation at
intervals of 2 or 3 seconds until all brake fluid is discharged.
Then close the bleeder valve with the brake pedal depressed.
Repeat the same work on each wheel.

3.

Perform the air bleeding. Refer to 

BR-11, "Bleeding Brake Sys-

tem"

.

Bleeding Brake System

INFOID:0000000009949204

CAUTION:

• Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) con-

nector or the battery negative terminal before performing the work.

• Monitor the fluid level in the reservoir tank while performing the air bleeding 
• Always use new brake fluid for refilling. Never reuse the drained brake fluid.
• Never allow foreign matter (e.g. dust) and oils other than brake fluid to enter the reservoir tank.
1.

Connect a vinyl tube to the bleeder valve of the rear right brake.

2.

Fully depress the brake pedal 4 to 5 times.

3.

Loosen the bleeder valve and bleed air with the brake pedal depressed, and then quickly tighten the
bleeder valve.

4.

Repeat steps 2 and 3 until all of the air is out of the brake line.

5.

Tighten the bleeder valve to the specified torque.
• Front disc brake: Refer to 

BR-34, "BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY : Exploded View"

.

• Rear drum brake: Refer to 

BR-39, "Exploded View"

.

6.

Perform steps 1 to 5 for the rear right brake 

→

 front left brake 

→

 rear left brake 

→

 and front right brake in

order.

7.

Check that the fluid level in the reservoir tank is within the specified range after air bleeding. Refer to 

BR-

10, "Inspection"

.

8.

Check each item of brake pedal. Adjust it if the measurement value is not the standard. Refer to 

BR-7,
