Brake Fluid Amount, Leaks, and Brake Pads Inspection

BASIC INSPECTION 1 BRAKE FLUID AMOUNT, LEAKS, AND BRAKE PADS INSPECTION
1. Check fluid level in the brake reservoir tank. If fluid level is low, refill the brake fluid.
2. Check the brake piping and around the VDC actuator for leaks. If there is leaking or oozing fluid, check the following items.
^ If VDC actuator connection is loose, tighten the piping to the specified torque and re-conduct the leak inspection to make sure there are no leaks.
^ If there is damage to the connection flare nut or VDC actuator screw, replace the damaged part and reconduct the leak inspection to make sure there are no leaks.
^ When there is fluid leaking or oozing from a part other than VDC actuator connection, if the fluid is just oozing out, use a clean cloth to wipe off the oozing fluid and re-check for leaks. If fluid is still oozing out, replace the damaged part.
^ When there is fluid leaking or oozing at VDC actuator, if the fluid is just oozing out, use a clean cloth to wipe off the oozing fluid and re-check for leaks. If fluid is still oozing out, replace the TCS/ABS actuator body.

CAUTION: ABS actuator body cannot be disassembled.

3. Check the brake pad degree of wear.
