CHASSIS AND BODY MAINTENANCE
Checking Brake Fluid Level and Leaks
INFOID:0000000003777006
• Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir tank. It should be between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines on the reservoir tank.
• If the fluid level is extremely low, check the brake system.
• If the brake warning lamp comes on when the fluid is at the correct level, check the brake fluid level switch and the parking brake
switch.
• Visually check around reservoir tank for fluid leaks.
Checking Brake Line and CablesINFOID:0000000003777007
1. Check the brake lines and hoses for cracks, deterioration, and other damage. Replace any damaged parts.
CAUTION:
If brake fluid leaks are visible around the brake line joints,
retighten the joint, or replace damaged parts as necessary.
2. Check for brake fluid leaks by fully depressing brake pedal while engine is running.
Checking Disc BrakeINFOID:0000000003777008
ROTOR
Check the rotor condition for wear or damage. Refer to BR-7, "DISC
ROTOR : Inspection" , BR-9, "DISC ROTOR : Inspection" .
CALIPER
Check the caliper for any l eaks, repair as necessary.

STEERING GEAR
• Check the steering gear housing for looseness, damage and oil
leakage as shown.
• Check the steering column connections for looseness.
STEERING LINKAGE
• Check the ball joint, dust cover and other component parts for looseness, wear, damage, and grease leak-
age.
Checking Power Steering Fluid and LineINFOID:0000000003777010
CHECKING FLUID LEVEL
• Check the power steering fluid level with the engine off.
• Check fluid level on reservoir. Use “HOT” range at fluid tempera- tures of 50 ° to 80° C (122° to 176° F). Use “COLD” range at fluid
temperatures of 0 ° to 30° C (32° to 86° F).
CAUTION:
• Do not overfill.
• Refer to MA-12, "
Fluids and Lubricants" .
CHECKING LINES
• Check lines for improper attachment, leaks, cracks, damage, loose
connections, chafing, and deterioration.

COMBINATION METER
• Speedometer, odo/trip meter, tachometer, fuel gauge, engine coolant temperature gauge, engine oil pres-
sure gauge, voltage gauge and information display are controlled by the unified meter control unit, which is
built into the combination meter.
• Warning and indicator lamps are controlled by the unified meter control unit and by components connected directly to the combination meter.
• Digital meter is adopted for odo/trip meter.* *The record of the odometer is kept even if the battery cable is disconnected. The record of the trip meter is
erased when the battery cable is disconnected.
• Odo/trip meter segments can be checked in diagnosis mode.
• Meter/gauge can be checked in diagnosis mode.

DTC B2205 VEHICLE SPEED CIRCUIT
DescriptionINFOID:0000000003776630
The ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) provi des a vehicle speed signal to the combination meter via
CAN communication lines.
DTC LogicINFOID:0000000003776631
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000003776632
Symptom: Displays “VEHICLE SPEED CIRC [B2205]” as a self-diagnosis result of combination meter.
1.CHECK COMBINATION METER INPUT SIGNAL
1. Start engine and select “M ETER/M&A” on CONSULT-III.
2. Using “SPEED METER” on “DATA MONITOR”, compare the value of DATA MONITOR with speedometer
pointer of combination meter. Speedometer and DATA MONITOR indications should be close.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> Perform ABS actuator and electric uni t (control unit) self-diagnosis. Refer to BRC-24, "CONSULT-
III Function (ABS)".
NO >> Replace combination meter. Refer to MWI-102, "
Removal and Installation".
DTC CONSULT-III display Detection condition
B2205 VEHICLE SPEED CIRC
