Booster Operation InspectionS6RW0D4106014
There are two ways to perform this inspection, with and
without a tester. Ordinarily, it is possible to roughly
determine its condition without using a tester.
NOTE
For this check, make sure that no air is in
hydraulic line.

Check Air Tightness
1) Start engine.
2) Stop engine after running for 1 – 2 minutes.
3) Depress brake pedal several times with the same
load as in ordinary braking and observe pedal travel.
If pedal goes down deep the first time but its travel
decreases as it is depressed the second and more
times, air tightness is obtained.
4) If pedal travel doesn’t change, air tightness isn’t
obtained.
NOTE
If defective, inspect vacuum lines and sealing
parts, and replace any faulty part. When this
has been done, repeat the entire test.

Check Operation
1) With engine stopped, depress brake pedal several
times with the same load and make sure that pedal
travel doesn’t change.
2) Start engine while depressing brake pedal. If pedal
travel increases a little, operation is satisfactory. But
no change in pedal travel indicates malfunction.
Check Air Tightness Under Load
1) With engine running, depress brake pedal. Then
stop engine while holding brake pedal depressed.

Front Disc Brake Pad On-Vehicle InspectionS6RW0D4206002
Inspect pad linings (1) periodically according to
maintenance schedule whenever wheels are removed
(for tire rotation or other reason). Take a look through
each end and inspection hole of caliper and check lining
thickness of outside and inside pads.
If lining is worn and its thickness (“a” in figure) is less
than limit, all pads must be replaced at the same time.
Front brake pad thickness “a” (lining thickness)
Standard: 10 mm (0.39 in.)
Limit: 2 mm (0.08 in.)
Front Disc Brake Pad Removal and InstallationS6RW0D4206003
NOTE
When replacing brake pad, replace it on the
right and left.

Removal
1) Hoist vehicle and remove front wheel.
2) Remove caliper pin bolts (1).
3) Remove caliper (1) from caliper carrier (2).
NOTE
Hang removed caliper (1) with a wire hook (4)
or the like so as to prevent brake hose from
bending and twisting excessively or being
pulled.
Don’t operate brake pedal with brake pads
removed.

4) Remove brake pads (3).
5) Remove brake pad spring (1) as show in figure.
Installation
1) Apply small amount of pad grease “a” (included in
spare parts) to pad spring and set brake pad spring
as shown in figure.
2) Set brake pad springs (1), and install brake pads (2)
and shim (4).
NOTE
Install the brake pad with wear indicator (3) to
the vehicle center side of front right brake
pad.

Check pad lining for wear. When the wear exceeds limit,
replace with new one.
CAUTION!
Never polish pad lining with sandpaper. If
lining is polished with sandpaper, hard
particles of sandpaper will be deposited in
lining and may damage disc. When pad lining
requires correction, replace it with a new one.

Front disc brake pad thickness (lining thickness)
Standard: 10 mm (0.39 in.)
Limit: 10 mm (0.39 in.)
NOTE

Assembly
S6RW0D4206006
Disassembly
CAUTION!
Clean around caliper with brake fluid before
disassembly.

1) Remove disc brake piston with air blown into flexible
hose joint bolt installation hole.
WARNING!
Do not apply too highly compressed air
which will cause piston to jump out of
cylinder. Place a cloth (1) to prevent piston
from damage. It should be taken out
gradually with moderately compressed air.
Do not place your fingers in front of piston
when using compressed air.

2) Remove cylinder boot.

Step 2. DTC / Freeze Frame Data Check, Record and
Clearance
First, referring to “DTC Check”, check DTC and pending
DTC. If DTC exists, print or write down DTC and freeze
frame data and then clear malfunction DTC(s) by
referring to “DTC Clearance”. Malfunction DTC indicates
malfunction in the system but it is not possible to know
from it whether the malfunction is occurring now or it
occurred in the past and normal condition has been
restored. In order to know that, check symptom in
question according to Step 5 and then recheck DTC
according to Step 6.
Diagnosing a trouble based on the DTC in this step only
or failure to clear the DTC in this step may result in an
faulty diagnosis, trouble diagnosis of a normal circuit or
difficulty in troubleshooting which is otherwise
unnecessary.
Step 3 and 4. Visual Inspection
As a preliminary step, be sure to perform visual check of
the items that support proper function of the engine and
automatic transaxle referring to “Visual Inspection”.
Step 5. Trouble Symptom Confirmation
Check trouble symptoms based on information obtained
in “Step 1. Customer Complaint Analysis: ” and “Step 2.
DTC / Freeze Frame Data Check, Record and
Clearance: ”.
Also, reconfirm DTC according to “DTC Confirmation
Procedure” described in each DTC flow.
Step 6 and 7. Rechecking and Record of DTC and
Freeze Frame Data
Refer to “DTC Check” for checking procedure.Step 8. A/T Basic Check and A/T Symptom
Diagnosis
Perform basic check of A/T according to “A/T Basic
Check” first. When the end of the flow has been reached,
check the parts of the system suspected as a possible
cause referring to “A/T Symptom Diagnosis” and based
on symptoms appearing on the vehicle (symptoms
obtained through steps of customer complaint analysis,
trouble symptom confirmation and/or A/T basic check)
and repair or replace faulty parts, if any.
Step 9. Troubleshooting for DTC
Based on the DTC indicated in Step 6 / 7 and referring to
“applicable DTC flow”, locate the cause of the trouble,
namely in a sensor, switch, wire harness, connector,
actuator, TCM or other part and repair or replace faulty
parts.
Step 10. Check for Intermittent Problem
Check parts where an intermittent trouble is easy to
occur (e.g. wire harness, connector, etc.), referring to
“Intermittent and Poor Connection Inspection in Section
00” and related circuit of DTC recorded in Step 2.
Step 11. Final Confirmation Test
Confirm that the problem symptom has gone and the
vehicle is free from any abnormal conditions. If what has
been repaired is related to the malfunction DTC, clear
the DTC once and check to ensure that no malfunction
DTC is indicated.

Precautions
Precautions for Steering DiagnosisS6RW0D6100001
Since the problems in steering involve several systems, they must all be considered when diagnosing a complaint. To
avoid using the wrong symptom, always road test the vehicle first. Proceed with the following preliminary inspection
and correct any defects which are found.
1) Inspect tires for proper pressure and uneven wear.
2) Raise vehicle on a hoist and inspect steering system for loose or damaged parts.
3) Spin front wheels. Inspect for out-of-round tires, out-of-balance tires, bent rims, loosen and/or rough wheel
bearings.
