Rear Brake Hose / Pipe ConstructionS6RW0D4101003
Diagnostic Information and Procedures
Brakes Diagnosis NoteS6RW0D4104001
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 various 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 fluid levels. While a slight
drop in reservoir level does result from normal lining
wear, an abnormally low level indicates a leak in the
system. In such a case, check the entire brake system
for leakage. If even a slight evidence 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
(piston cups and brake hoses) in the hydraulic system to
deteriorate.
If the above fluid is included in the system, replace the
master cylinder assembly and other rubber components
(hoses). The master cylinder assembly is disassemble
parts to maintain the performance.
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.

• Check to make sure that flexible hose doesn’t contact
any part of suspension, both in extreme right and
extreme left turn conditions. If it does at any point,
remove and correct. Fill and maintain brake fluid level
in reservoir.
• Bleed brake system. Refer to “Air Bleeding of Brake
System”.
• Perform brake test and check installed part for fluid
leakage.

Installation
S6RW0D4106008
CAUTION!
Do not allow brake fluid to get on painted
surfaces. Painted surfaces will be damaged
by brake fluid, flush it with water immediately
if any fluid is spilled.

Removal
1) Raise and support vehicle properly. Remove tire and
wheel.
2) Clean dirt and foreign material from both flexible
hose end and pipe end fittings.
3) Drain brake fluid in reservoir.
4) Remove brake flexible hose or pipe.
Installation
Reverse brake flexible hose removal procedure, noting
the following.
• Install clamps and tighten nuts referring to “Rear
Brake Hose / Pipe Construction”.
• Fill and maintain brake fluid level in reservoir.
• Bleed brake system. Refer to “Air Bleeding of Brake
System”.
• Perform brake test and check each installed part for
fluid leakage.
• When installing hose, make sure that it has no twist or
kink.
Brake Hose and Pipe InspectionS6RW0D4106009
Hose
The brake hose assembly should be checked for road
hazard damage, for cracks and chafing of outer cover,
for leaks and blisters. A light and mirror may be needed
for an adequate inspection. If any above conditions are
observed on brake hose, it is necessary to replace it.
Pipe
Inspect the pipe for damage, cracks, dents and
corrosion. If any defect is found, replace it.

With more passenger(s) or luggage in the vehicle, the vehicle position differs from that in such vehicle state with one
person and no load in the vehicle and angle of the headlight optical axis varies accordingly. This system automatically
adjusts the varied angle to maintain the optical axis properly.
Front and rear height sensors
Front height sensor (1) is installed to the front suspension frame (2) respectively and connected to the lower arm (4)
with the link (3). Also rear height sensor is installed to the rear floor center cross member (5) respectively and
connected to the rear axle (6) with the link (3). Each height sensor converts vertical movement of the lower arm into
the resistance value and outputs the detected change in the vehicle position as a voltage signal to the headlight
leveling control module.
Headlight leveling control module
Headlight leveling control module is installed at the inside of the glove box. It uses the headlight ON signal from the
lighting switch, vehicle speed signal from BCM and vehicle position signal from height sensors to calculate the angle
of the headlight optical axis to be corrected. Then it adjusts the optical axis angle of headlight based on the calculated
angle value by driving the headlight leveling actuator so that proper headlight aiming is obtained. Also, when any
abnormality is detected in the system, the headlight leveling control module makes the headlight leveling warning light
in the combination meter light up to warn the driver of an abnormality in the system.
Fail-safe function of headlight leveling control module
Headlight leveling control module has a fail-safe function which operates as follows.

light switch holds ON position, front fog
lights turn ON automatically when headlight
switch is tuned to HEADLIGHT position (low
or high beams) or SMALL position again.

Check for continuity between terminals at each switch
position. If check result is not as specified, replace
switch.

• Unless otherwise obligated by local
regulations, adjust front fog light aiming
according to the following procedure.
• An example in case that the light-to-wall
distance 10 m is shown in the illustration.
The beam descending distance “H” is
calculated when “a” is 10 m with the
specification angle “b” (1.14°).

1) Make sure the following items.
• Place vehicle on a flat surface in front of blank wall
(screen) (1) ahead of front fog light surface.
