GENERAL DESCRIPTION
BASIC BRAKE SYSTEM35A-2
GENERAL DESCRIPTIONM1351000100440
The brake system has been designed to give greater
reliability and durability and to provide excellent brak-
ing performance.
FEATURES
.
Improved braking performance
1. An 8+9 inch tandem brake booster provides suffi-
cient braking force in sudden braking range.
2. 296mm front ventilated disc brakes provide sta-
ble braking force and improved braking feel.
3. 303mm rear ventillated disc brakes are used.
.
Improved stability
1. A 4-wheel anti-lock braking system (4ABS) pre-
vents slipping caused by the vehicle wheels lock-
ing up, in order to maintain a stable vehicle
posture and steering performance.
2. An electronic brake-force distribution (EBD)
makes it possible to maintain the maximum
amount of braking force even when the vehicle's
load is unevenly distributed. 3. Front- and rear-wheel X-type brake line layout
are used.
4. Ventilated discs brakes improve anti-fading per-
formance.
.
Improved serviceability
1. A diagnosis function for the ABS system makes
inspection easier.
2. An outer disc separated hub and rotor make
removal and installation easier.
3. The master cylinder reservoir is utilised for both
brake and clutch fluid on manual transmission
vehicles.
4. The master cylinder filter is coloured black for
improved viewing.
5. The ABS-ECU and hydraulic unit are integrated
to make them more compact and light weight.

BLEEDINGM1351001400455
Use only brake fluid DOT 3 or DOT 4. Never mix the speci-
fied brake fluid with other fluid as it will influence the brak-
ing performance significantly.
.
MASTER CYLINDER BLEEDING
The master cylinder used has no check valve, so if bleeding is
carried out by the following procedure, bleeding of air from the
brake pipeline will become easier. (When brake fluid is not con-
tained in the master cylinder).
1. Fill the reserve tank with brake fluid.
2. Keep the brake pedal depressed.
3. Have another person cover the master cylinder outlet with a
finger.
4. With the outlet still closed, release the brake pedal.
5. Repeat steps 2
4 three or four times to fill the inside of the
master cylinder with brake fluid.
.
BRAKE LINE BLEEDING
Start the engine and bleed the air in the sequence shown in the
figure.

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
BASIC BRAKE SYSTEM35A-17
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL SENSOR CHECKM1351009100403
The brake fluid level sensor is in good condition if there is no
continuity when the float surface is above "MIN" and if there is
continuity when the float surface is below "MIN".
DISC BRAKE PAD CHECK AND REPLACEMENTM1351002300398
NOTE: Uneven wearor tapering of brake pad may be caused
by either caliper piston not operating correctly .
Whenever a pad must be replaced, replace both LH and
RH wheel pads as a set to prevent the vehicle from pull-
ing to one side when braking.
If there is a significant difference in the thicknesses of
the pads on the left and right sides, check the sliding
condition of the piston and slide pins.
1. Check the brake pad thickness through the caliper body
check port.(Rear). Front pad check can be viewed from rotor
side.
Standard value: 10.0 mm (0.39 inch)
Minimum limit: 2.0 mm (0.08 inch)

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
BASIC BRAKE SYSTEM35A-23
After a new brake disc is installed, always grind the
brake disc with an on-the-car type brake lathe. If this
step is not carried out, the brake disc run-out exceeds
the specified value, resulting in judder.
When the on-the-car type lathe is used, first install a
M12 flat washer on the stud bolt in the brake disc side
according to the figure, and then install the adapter. If
the adapter is installed with M12 flat washer not seated,
the brake disc rotor may be deformed, resulting in inac-
curate grinding.
Grind the brake disc with all wheel nuts diagonally and
equally tightened to the specified torque 100 N
m (74
ft-lb). If all of the wheel nuts are not used, or the tight-
ening torque is excessive or not equal, the brake disc
rotor or drum may be deformed, resulting in judder.
5. If the run-out cannot be corrected by changing the phase of
the brake disc, replace the brake disc or grind it with the
on-the-car type brake lathe ("MAD, DL-8700PF" or
equivalent).
MASTER CYLINDER FUNCTION CHECKM1351010200266
1. Remove the reservoir cap.
2. While watching the open reservoir from a distance of 50 cm
(20 inches), have an assistant depress the brake pedal. If
there was a stream of brake fluid rising from the reservoir,
proceed to Step 3. If there was no stream of brake fluid
rising from the reservoir, repair or replace the master
cylinder.
3. While watching the open reservoir from a distance of 50 cm
(20 inches), have the assistant release the brake pedal. If
there was a small amount of air bubbles rising through the
brake fluid, master cylinder function is normal. If there were
no bubbles rising through the brake fluid, repair or replace
the master cylinder.
