Basic Inspection 1: Brake Fluid Level, Leak Inspection and Brake Pad

BASIC INSPECTION 1: BRAKE FLUID LEVEL, LEAK INSPECTION AND BRAKE PAD
1. Check fluid level in brake reservoir tank. If fluid level is low, refill brake fluid. Refer to, "On-Board Inspection". Checking Brake Fluid Level
2. Check for leakage in brake tubes or hoses and around ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit). If there is leaking or seeping fluid, check the following items.
^ If the brake tube connections at ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) are loose, tighten flare nuts to the specified torque. Then inspect again and confirm that there is no leakage.
^ If flare nuts or screws of ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) are damaged and loose, replace damaged parts. Then inspect again and confirm that there is no leakage.
^ If there is leakage at any location other than ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connections, wipe away leakage with clean cloth. Then inspect again and confirm that there is no leakage.
^ If there is leakage from ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit), wipe away leakage with clean cloth. Then inspect again. If there is still leakage, replace ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).

CAUTION: ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) cannot be disassembled.

3. Check brake disc rotor and pads.
^ Front disc rotor
^ Front brake pad
^ Rear disc rotor
^ Rear brake pad
