2. SYSTEM OVERVIEW
1) Terms and Definition
CBS: Conventional Brake System
ABS: Anti-Lock Brake System
EBD: Electronic brake-Force Distribution
ESP: Electronic Stability Program
ABD: Automatic Braking Differential
ASR: Acceleration Slip Regulation
AYC: Active Yaw Control (Understeer and Oversteer Control)
HBA: Hydraulic Brake Assistant
ARP: Active Rollover Protection
HSA: Hill Start Assistant
Brake pad: Brake pad is a component of disk brakes used in automotive and other
applications. Brake pad is steel backing plates with friction material bound to the surface that
faces the brake disc.
Brake disc: The brake disc is a device for slowing or stopping the rotation of a wheel while it is
in motion.
Brake caliper: To stop the wheel, friction material in the form of brake pads (mounted on a
device called a brake caliper) is forced hydraulically against both sides of the disc. Friction
causes the disc and attached wheel to slow or stop.
Brake master cylinder: The brake master cylinder is a control device that converts non-
hydraulic pressure (commonly from a driver's foot) into hydraulic pressure, in order to move
other device(s) which are located at the other end of the hydraulic system, such as one or
more slave cylinders. As piston(s) move along the bore of the master cylinder, this movement
is transferred through the hydraulic fluid, to result in a movement of the slave cylinder(s). The
hydraulic pressure created by moving a piston (inside the bore of the master cylinder) toward
the slave cylinder(s) compresses the fluid evenly, but by varying the comparative surface-area
of the master cylinder and/or each slave cylinder, one will vary the amount of force and
displacement applied to each slave cylinder (relative to the amount of force and displacement
that was applied to the master cylinder). -

This section describes the noise phenomena occurred possibly in the brake system operation.
Distinguish between the information given below and the actual problems and then, inspect the
vehicle and take appropriate measures.
Noise symptoms and Causes -
Symptom 1. If depressing the brake pedal when the engine is cold, "screeching" sound always
occurs and, after driving for a while, the sound disappears..
This usually occurs in the morning. When the temperature goes down, the dew condensation
phenomenon sets moisture on the brake disc as the window frost forms. Due to this moisture, the
iron within the brake disc and pad oxidizes, forming undetectable micro-rusts on the disc
surface. When starting the engine under this condition, noise may sound due to the friction of
micro-rusts. When operating the brake several times, the disc temperature goes up and the
micro-rusts come off and the noise goes away. Depending on the driving conditions, noise gets
louder when slightly depressing the brake pedal and oppositely, noise is smaller when deeply
depressing the brake pedal. This is simply a physical phenomenon, called "morning effect" in
professional terms, and does not imply any problems with the brake system.
Symptom 2. Slip or screech after the brake pad replacement.
This usually occurs when the bed-in is not made between the disc and the pad's friction material.
The bed-in is a state that the brake system normally works and gives no noise out, when, after
about 300 km city driving, the contact area of the pad friction material is enlarged and the disk is
in complete contact with the pad's friction material. Therefore, for some time after the brake
disk/pad replacement, the brake system poorly operates or noise (abnormal sound) occurs due
to the partial contact.
Symptom 3. "Groaning" sound occurs in the automatic transmission vehicle when slightly taking
the foot off the brake pedal to slowly start after waiting for the signal, or slightly depressing the
brake pedal.
This is the noise "Creep groan" that occurs when, in both the automatic and manual transmission,
slightly releasing the brake pedal in the neutral gear at downhill roads.
It frequently occurs at the low braking power and low speed, through the following process. When
operating the brake system at low speed and low pressure, adhesion and slip repeatedly take
place between the brake disk and the friction material, and this makes the braking power
inconstant, instantly increasing or decreasing, and gives out the brake noise.
It is also a physical phenomenon and has no relation with the brake performance.BRAKE OPERATION AND NOISE ▶

4. AIR BLEEDING
Fill up the brake fluid up to "MAX" line on
the reservoir. 1.
Fill the reservoir with brake fluid and pump
the brake pedal several times. Then keep it
depressed. 2.
Loosen the bleed screw and collect the
bleeding brake fluid from the brake line with
the order in the figure. 3.
Fill the reservoir with the brake fluid as
much as it bleeded, and continue to
bleeding operation. Never reuse the used brake fluid.
Use only specifies brake fluid (DOT 4). Add brake fluid between MAX and MIN lines on the
reservoir (0.7 to 0.8 liters).
Be careful not to splash the brake fluid on painted area or body.
Make sure that any foreign material does not get into brake line.
Always work with another staff. -
