POWER±ASSISTED BRAKE SYSTEM
Hydraulic Brakes
Filling Master Cylinder Reservoir
CAUTION: Use only specified brake fluid. Do not
use any fluid which contains a petroleum base. Do
not use a container which has been used for
petroleum based fluids or a container which is wet
with water. Petroleum based fluid will cause swelling
and distortion of rubber parts in the hydraulic brake
system. Water mixed with brake fluid lowers the fluid
boiling point. Keep all fluid containers capped to
prevent contamination.
Always fill the master cylinder reservoir when the en-
gine is cold.
Never allow the brake fluid to come in contact with
the painted surfaces.
The master cylinder reservoir must be kept properly
filled to ensure adequate reserve and to prevent air
and moisture from entering the hydraulic system.
However, because of expansion due to heat ab-
sorbed from the brakes and the engine, the reservoir
must not be overfilled. The brake fluid reservoir is on
the master cylinder, which is located under the hood
on the left side of the cowl. Thoroughly clean reser-
voir cap before removal to avoid getting dirt into res-
ervoir. Remove the diaphragm. Add fluid as required
to bring level to the ªMAXº mark on the reservoir
tank. Use ªDOT 3º Hydraulic Brake Fluid. If the fluid
cap diaphragm is stretched, return it to the original
position before installing.
Deterioration of Brake Fluid
Using any other brake fluid than specified or brake fluid
with mineral oil or water mixed in will drop the boiling point
of brake fluid. It may, in turn, result in vapor lock or
deteriorated rubber parts of the hydraulic system. Be sure
to change the brake fluid at specified intervals.
If the rubber parts are deteriorated, remove all the system
parts and clean them with alcohol. Prior to reassembly,
dry the cleaned parts with air to remove the alcohol.
Replace all the hoses and rubber parts of the system.
Leakage of Brake Fluid
With engine idling, set shift lever in the neutral position
and continue to depress brake pedal at a constant pedal
application force.
Should the pedal stroke become deeper gradually,
leakage from the hydraulic pressure system is possible.
Perform visual inspection for any signs of leakage.
Bleeding Brake Hydraulic System
A bleeding operation is necessary to remove air from the
hydraulic brake system whenever air is introduced into
the hydraulic system. It may be necessary to bleed the
hydraulic system at all four brakes if air has been
introduced through a low fluid level or by disconnecting
brake pipes at the master cylinder. If a brake pipe is
disconnected at one wheel, only that wheel
cylinder/caliper needs to be bled. If the pipes aredisconnected at any fitting located between the master
cylinder and brakes, then the brake system served by the
disconnected pipe must be bled.
1. For 4±Wheel Antilock Brake System (ABS) equipped
vehicle, be sure to remove the ABS main fuse 60A
located at the relay and fuse box before bleeding air. If
you attempt to bleed air without removing the main
fuse, air cannot be let out thoroughly, and this may
cause damage to the hydraulic unit. After bleeding air,
be sure to replace the ABS main fuse back to its
original position.
2. Set the parking brake completely, then start the
engine.
NOTE: The vacuum booster will be damaged if the
bleeding operation is performed with the engine off.
3. Remove the master cylinder reservoir cap.
4. Fill the master cylinder reservoir with brake fluid.
Keep the reservoir at least half full during the air
bleeding operation
5. Always use new brake fluid for replenishment.
6. When replenishing the brake fluid reservoir, carefully
pour in the brake fluid to prevent air bubbles from
entering the brake system.
When the master cylinder is replaced or overhauled,
first bleed the air from the master cylinder, then from
each wheel cylinder and caliper following the
procedures described below.
Bleeding the Master Cylinder
7. Disconnect the rear wheel brake pipe (1) from the
master cylinder.
Check the fluid level and replenish as necessary. If
replenished, leave the system for at least one minute.
8. Depress the brake pedal slowly once and hold it
depressed.
9. Completely seal the delivery port of the master
cylinder with your finger, where the pipe was
disconnected then release the brake pedal slowly.
10. Release your finger from the delivery port when the
brake pedal returns completely.
11. Repeat steps 8 through 10 until the brake fluid comes
out of the delivery port during step 8.
NOTE: Do not allow the fluid level in the reservoir to go
below the half±way mark.
12. Reconnect the brake pipe (1) to the master cylinder
and tighten the pipe.
13. Depress the brake pedal slowly once and hold it
depressed.
14. Loosen the rear wheel brake pipe (1) at the master
cylinder.
15. Retighten the brake pipe, then release the brake
pedal slowly.
16. Repeat steps 13 through 15 until no air comes out of
the port when the brake pipe is loosened
NOTE: Be very careful not to allow the brake fluid to come
in contact with painted surfaces.

TS24064
Decimal/Binary/Hexadecimal Conversions
Beginning in 1996, Federal Regulations require that all
auto manufacturers selling vehicles in the United States
provide Scan Tool manufacturers with software
information to display vehicle operating parameters. All
Scan Tool manufacturers will display a variety of vehicle
information which will aid in repairing the vehicle. Some
Scan Tools will display encoded messages which will aid
in determining the nature of the concern. The method of
encoding involves the use of a two additional numbering
systems: Binary and Hexadecimal.
The binary number system has a base of two numbers.
Each digit is either a 0 or a 1. A binary number is an eight
digit number and is read from right to left. Each digit has a
position number with the farthest right being the 0 position
and the farthest left being the 7 position. The 0 position,
when displayed by a 1, indicates 1 in decimal. Each
position to the left is double the previous position and
added to any other position values marked as a 1.
A hexadecimal system is composed of 16 different alpha
numeric characters. The alpha numeric characters used
are numbers 0 through 9 and letters A through F. The
hexadecimal system is the most natural and common
approach for Scan Tool manufacturers to display data
represented by binary numbers and digital code.
Verifying Vehicle Repair
Verification of vehicle repair will be more comprehensive
for vehicles with OBD II system diagnostic. Following a
repair, the technician should perform the following steps:
1. Review and record the Fail Records and/or Freeze
Frame data for the DTC which has been diagnosed
(Freeze Frame data will only be stored for an A or B
type diagnostic and only if the MIL has been
requested).
2. Clear DTC(s).
3. Operate the vehicle within conditions noted in the Fail
Records and/or Freeze Frame data.
4. Monitor the DTC status information for the DTC which
has been diagnosed until the diagnostic test
associated with that DTC runs.
Following these steps are very important in verifying
repairs on OBD ll systems. Failure to follow these steps
could result in unnecessary repairs.
Reading Diagnostic Trouble Codes Using
The Tech 2 Scan Tool
The procedure for reading diagnostic trouble code(s) is to
use a diagnostic Scan Tool. When reading DTC(s), follow
instructions supplied by tool manufacturer.
Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes
IMPORTANT:Do not clear DTCs unless directed to do
so by the service information provided for each diagnostic
procedure. When DTCs are cleared, the Freeze Frame
and Failure Record data which may help diagnose an
intermittent fault will also be erased from memory.
If the fault that caused the DTC to be stored into memory
has been corrected, the Diagnostic Executive will begin to
count the ªwarm-upº cycles with no further faults
detected, the DTC will automatically be cleared from the
PCM memory.
To clear Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), use the
diagnostic Scan Tool ªclear DTCsº or ªclear informationº
function. When clearing DTCs follow instructions
supplied by the tool manufacturer.
When a Scan Tool is not available, DTCs can also be
cleared by disconnecting
one of the following sources for
at least thirty (30) seconds.
NOTE: To prevent system damage, the ignition key must
be ªOFFº when disconnecting or reconnecting battery
power.

The power source to the control module. Examples:
fuse, pigtail at battery PCM connectors, etc.

The negative battery cable. (Disconnecting the
negative battery cable will result in the loss of other
on-board memory data, such as preset radio tuning).
