1: Brake Fluid Level and Leak Inspection
BASIC INSPECTION 1: BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND LEAKAGE1. Check brake fluid level in reservoir. Replenish brake fluid if necessary.
2. Check for leakage at or around brake piping and ABS actuators. If leakage or seepage is noted, proceed as follows:
- If ABS actuator connectors are loose, tighten to specified torque. Recheck to ensure that leakage is no longer present.
- If flare nut threads at piping connectors or actuator threads are damaged, replace faulty parts with new ones. Recheck to ensure that leakage is no longer present.
- If brake fluid leaks through areas other than actuator connectors, wipe off using a clean cloth. Recheck for leakage or seepage. If necessary, replace faulty parts with new ones.
- If brake fluid leaks at or seeps through actuators, wipe off using a clean cloth. Recheck for leakage or seepage. If necessary, replace with new actuators.
CAUTION: ABS actuators cannot be disassembled.
3. Check brake booster for proper operation.
4. Check brake disc rotor and pad condition.
