Diagnostic Information and Procedures
Brakes Diagnosis NoteS7RS0B4104001
Road Testing Brakes
Brakes should be tested on dry, clean, smooth and
reasonably level roadway which is not crowned. Road
test brakes by making brake applications with both light
and heavy pedal forces at vari ous speeds to determine if
the vehicle stops evenly and effectively. Also drive
vehicle to see if it leads to one side or the other without
brake application. If it does, check the tire pressure, front
wheel alignment and front suspension attachments for
looseness. See diagnosis table for other causes. Brake Fluid Leaks
Check the master cylinder fl
uid levels. While a slight
drop in reservoir level does result from normal lining
wear, an abnormally low leve l indicates a leak in the
system. In such a case, chec k the entire brake system
for leakage. If even a slight ev idence of leakage is noted,
the cause should be corrected or defective parts should
be replaced.
Substandard or Contaminated Brake Fluid
Improper brake fluid, mineral oil or water in the fluid may
cause the brake fluid to boil or the rubber components in
the hydraulic system to deteriorate.

If deterioration of rubber is evident, disassemble all
hydraulic parts and wash with alcohol. Dry these parts
with compressed air before assembly to keep alcohol out
of the system. Replace all rubber parts in the system,
including hoses. Also, when working on the brake
mechanisms, check for fluid on the linings.
If excessive fluid is found, replace the pads. If master cylinder piston seals
are satisfactory, check for
leakage or excessive heat co nditions. If leakage is not
found, drain fluid, flush with brake fluid, refill and bleed
system.
The system must be flushed if there is any doubt as to
the grade of fluid in the system or if fluid has been used
which contained parts that have been subjected to
contaminated fluid.

boot in most compressed st ate for some seconds to
correct dent.
Boots should be visually inspected for any damage, dent
and tear during every periodical inspection at specified
intervals and whenever vehicle is hoisted for any other
purpose.

WARNING!
• To avoid danger of being burned, don’t touch when the bulb is hot.
• Don’t touch glass surface of bulb, to avoid deteriorate as the case may be unclear
when bulb light on at dirty condition.

1) Disconnect negative (–) cable at battery.
2) Disconnect coupler from bulb.

Headlight Aiming Adjustment with ScreenS7RS0B9206003
NOTE
• Unless otherwise obligated by local regulations, adjust headlight aiming
according to the following procedure.
• After replacing headlight housing, be sure to adjust aiming.
• When inspecting and adjusting headlight with leveling system, make sure to set the
leveling switch to “0 ” position with ignition
switch turned ON.

1) Make sure the following items.
• Place vehicle on a flat surface in front of blank wall (screen) (1) ahead of headlight surface.
Distance “a”
10 m (32.8 ft.)
• Adjust air pressure of all tires to the specified value respectively.
• Bounce vehicle body up and down by hand to stabilize suspension.
• Carry out aiming with a driver aboard.
Driver’s weight
75 kg (165 lb)
2) Check to see if hot spot (high intensity zone) of each low beam axis falls as shown in figure.
NOTE
If the headlights interfere each other and
make it hard to see the cut line clearly, cover
the headlight on one side. This helps to make
aiming adjustment easier.
