Inspection
 
 
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL
  • Check that the brake fluid level in the reservoir tank is within the standard (between 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 light 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.
cautionRetighten the applicable connection to the specified torque and repair any abnormal (damaged, worn or deformed) part if any brake fluid leakage is present.
