On-board InspectionEFS006J8
CHECKING BRAKE FLUID LEVEL

Make sure the fluid level in the reservoir tank is within the stan-
dard (between MAX and MIN lines).

Visually check around the reservoir tank for fluid leakage.

If fluid level is excessively low, check brake system for fluid leak-
age.

Release parking brake lever and see if brake warning lamp goes
off. If not, check brake system for fluid leakage.
Drain and RefillEFS006J9
CAUTION:

Refill using recommended brake fluid. Refer to MA-11, "RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRI-
CANTS" .

Never reuse drained brake fluid.

Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is
splashed on painted areas, immediately wipe them with cloth and wash it away with water.

Before working, disconnect connectors of ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) or battery
cable from the negative terminal.
1. Connect a vinyl tube to bleed valve.
2. Depress the brake pedal, loosen the bleed valve, and gradually
remove the brake fluid.
3. Clean inside of reservoir tank, and refill with new brake fluid.
4. Loosen bleed valve, depress brake pedal slowly to full stroke
and then release it. Repeat the procedure every 2 or 3 seconds
until the new brake fluid comes out, then close the bleed valve
while depressing the brake pedal. Repeat the same procedure
for each wheel.
5. Bleed air. Refer to BR-10, "
Bleeding Brake System" .

Bleeding Brake SystemEFS006JA
CAUTION:

While bleeding, pay attention to master cylinder fluid level.

Before working, disconnect connectors of ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) or the bat-
tery cable from the negative terminal.
1. Connect a vinyl tube to the rear right bleed valve.
2. Fully depress brake pedal 4 to 5 times.
3. With brake pedal depressed, loosen bleed valve to let the air out, and then tighten it immediately.
4. Repeat steps 2, 3 until no more air comes out.
5. Tighten bleed valve to specified torque. Refer to BR-24, "
Components" (front disc brake), BR-30, "Com-
ponents" (rear drum brake).
6. Following the steps 1 to 5 above, with master cylinder reservoir tank filled at least half way, bleed air from
the rear right, front left, rear left, and front right brake, in that order.
