Checking Brake Fluid Level
+Check ¯uid level in reservoir tank. It should be between Max
and Min lines on reservoir tank.
+ If ¯uid level is extremely low, check brake system for leaks.
+ If the brake warning lamp comes on, check brake ¯uid level
switch and parking brake switch.
Checking Brake Line
CAUTION:
If leakage occurs around joints, retighten or, if necessary,
replace damaged parts.
1. Check brake lines (tubes and hoses) for cracks, deterioration
or other damage. Replace any damaged parts.
2. Check for oil leakage by fully depressing brake pedal while engine is running.
Changing Brake Fluid
CAUTION:
+Re®ll with new brake ¯uid ``DOT 3''.
+ Always keep ¯uid level higher than minimum line on res-
ervoir tank.
+ Never reuse drained brake ¯uid.
+ Be careful not to splash brake ¯uid on painted areas; it
may cause paint damage. If brake ¯uid is splashed on
painted areas, wash it away with water immediately.
1. Clean inside of reservoir tank, and re®ll with new brake ¯uid.
2. Connect a vinyl tube to each air bleeder valve.
3. Drain brake ¯uid from each air bleeder valve by depressing brake pedal.
4. Re®ll until brake ¯uid comes out of each air bleeder valve. Use same procedure as in bleeding hydraulic system to re®ll
brake ¯uid. Refer to ``Bleeding Brake System'', BR-4.

Bleeding Brake System
CAUTION:
+Carefully monitor brake ¯uid level at master cylinder dur-
ing bleeding operation.
+ If master cylinder is suspected to have air inside, bleed air
from master cylinder ®rst. Refer to ``Installation'', ``MAS-
TER CYLINDER'', BR-14.
+ Fill reservoir with new brake ¯uid ``DOT 3''. Make sure it is
full at all times while bleeding air out of system.
+ Place a container under master cylinder to avoid spillage
of brake ¯uid.
+ For models with ABS, turn ignition switch OFF and discon-
nect ABS actuator connectors or battery ground cable.
+ Bleed air in the following order.
1. LSV air bleeder
2. Left rear brake
3. Right rear brake
4. Left front brake
5. Right front brake
1. Connect a transparent vinyl tube to air bleeder valve.
2. Fully depress brake pedal several times.
3. With brake pedal depressed, open air bleeder valve to release air.
4. Close air bleeder valve.
5. Release brake pedal slowly.
6. Repeat steps 2. through 5. until clear brake ¯uid comes out of air bleeder valve.
7. Tighten air bleeder valve.

REMOVAL
CAUTION:
+Be careful not to splash brake ¯uid on painted areas; it
may cause paint damage. If brake ¯uid is splashed on
painted areas, wash it away with water immediately.
+ All hoses must be free from excessive bending, twisting
and pulling.
1. Connect vinyl tube to air bleeder valve.
2. Drain brake ¯uid from each air bleeder valve by depressing brake pedal.
3. Remove ¯are nut connecting brake tube and hose, then with- draw lock spring.
4. Cover openings to prevent entrance of dirt whenever discon- necting brake line.
INSPECTION
Check brake lines (tubes and hoses) for cracks, deterioration or
other damage. Replace any damaged parts.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
+Re®ll with new brake ¯uid ``DOT 3''.
+ Never reuse drained brake ¯uid.
1. Tighten all ¯are nuts and connecting bolts. Flare nut:

Connecting bolt:
:17-19N zm (1.7 - 1.9 kg-m, 12 - 14 ft-lb)
2. Re®ll until new brake ¯uid comes out of each air bleeder valve.
3. Bleed air. Refer to ``Bleeding Brake System'', BR-4.
Load Sensing Valve
INSPECTION
CAUTION:
+ Carefully monitor brake ¯uid level at master cylinder.
+ Use new brake ¯uid ``DOT 3''.
+ Be careful not to splash brake ¯uid on painted areas; it
may cause paint damage. If brake ¯uid is splashed on paint
areas, wash it away with water immediately.
+ Depress pedal slowly when raising front brake pressure.
+ Check rear brake pressure 2 seconds after front brake
pressure reaches speci®ed value.
+ For models with ABS disconnect harness connectors from
ABS actuator relay before checking.
