Non-Trouble Code Procedures

Brake System Leak Check

1. NOTE: Brake fluid is water soluble and therefore evidence of leakage can be washed away if the vehicle is operated in rain or snow.

Fill the brake master cylinder reservoir.
2. Apply and hold the brakes several times.
3. Check the brake master cylinder reservoir to verify fluid loss.
4. Inspect the brake system for signs of fresh brake fluid leakage.
5. Locate and correct the source of the external leak.
