1: Brake Fluid Amount, Leaks, and Brake Pads Inspection

BASIC INSPECTION 1: BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND LEAK INSPECTION
1. Check fluid level in brake reservoir tank. If fluid level is low, refill brake fluid.
2. Check for leakage in brake piping and around VDC actuator. If leakage or seepage is found, check as follows.
^ If VDC actuator connector is loose, tighten piping to specified torque. Then inspect again and confirm that there is no leakage.
^ If connection flare nuts or screws of VDC actuator are damaged, replace damaged parts. Then inspect again and confirm that there is no leakage.
^ If there is leakage or seepage at any location other than VDC actuator connections, wipe away leakage or seepage with clean cloth. Then inspect again and confirm that there is no leakage.
^ If there is leakage from VDC actuator, wipe away leakage or seepage with clean cloth. Then inspect again. If there is leakage or seepage, replace VDC actuator unit.

CAUTION: ABS actuator body cannot be disassembled.

3. Check brake disc rotor and pads.
