PRECAUTIONS
5. When the repair work is completed, return the ignition switch to the ″LOCK ″ position before connecting
the battery cables. (At this time, the steering lock mechanism will engage.)
6. Perform a self-diagnosis check of a ll control units using CONSULT-III.
Precaution for Brake SystemINFOID:0000000005147886
• Always use recommended brake fluid. Refer to MA-13, "Fluids and Lubricants".
• Do not reuse drained brake fluid.
• Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas.
• To clean or wash all parts of master cylinder, disc brake caliper and wheel cylinder, use clean brake fluid.
• Do not use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene. They will ruin rubber parts of the hydraulic system.
• Use flare nut wrench when removing and installing brake tube.
• Always check tightening torque when installing brake lines.
• Before working, turn ignition switch to OFF and disconnect con- nectors for ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) or battery
terminals.
• Burnish the brake contact surfaces after refinishing or replacing drums or rotors, after replacing pads or linings, or if a soft pedal
occurs at very low mileage. Refer to BR-30, "
Brake Burnishing
Procedure".
WARNING:
• Clean brake pads and shoes wi th a waste cloth, then wipe
with a dust collector.

BASIC INSPECTION
FRONT DISC BRAKE
BRAKE PAD
BRAKE PAD : Front Pad InspectionINFOID:0000000005147890
PA D W E A R
Check pad thickness from the inspection holes on cylinder body.
Check using a scale if necessary.
DISC ROTOR
DISC ROTOR : Front Rotor InspectionINFOID:0000000005147891
VISUAL
Check surface of disc rotor for uneven wear, cracks, and serious damage. Replace as necessary.
RUNOUT
1. Attach disc rotor to wheel hub using wheel nuts (at two or more positions).
2. Inspect runout using a dial gauge placed at 10 mm (0.39 in) inside the disc edge.
NOTE:
Before measuring, make sure that wheel bearing axial end play
is within the specification. Refer to RAX-6, "
On-Vehicle Inspec-
tion and Service".
3. When runout exceeds limit value, displace mounting positions of disc rotor by one hole. And then find a position of the minimum value for runout.
4. If runout is outside the specified value after performing the above operation, turn disc rotor using Tool.
THICKNESS
Standard thickness : Refer to BR-46, "Front Disc
Brake".
Repair limit thickness : Refer to BR-46, "

WARNING:
Clean dust on caliper and brake pad with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the hazard of air borne
particles or other materials.
CAUTION:
• While removing cylinder bod y, do not depress brake pedal because piston will pop out.
• It is not necessary to remove bolts on torque member and brake hose except for disassembly or replacement of caliper assembly. In this case, hang cylinder body with a wire so as not to stretch
brake hose.
• Do not damage piston boot.
• If any shim is subject to serious corrosion, replace it with a new one.
• Always replace shim and shim cover as a set when replacing brake pads.
• Keep rotor free from brake fluid.
• Burnish the brake pads and disc rotor mutually contacting surfaces, after refinishing or replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or if a so ft pedal occurs at very low mileage.
REMOVAL
1. Remove front wheel and tires. Refer to WT-49, "Rotation".
2. Partially drain some brake fluid from the reservoir.
3. Remove the sliding pin bolts.
1. Inner multi-layered shim 2. Pad wear sensor 3. Pad retainer
