BRAKE FLUID


Inspection


BRAKE FLUID LEVEL
- Check that the fluid level in the reservoir tank is within the specified range (MAX � MIN lines).
- Visually check for any brake fluid leakage around the reservoir tank.
- Check the brake system for any leakage if the fluid level is extremely low (lower than MIN).
- Check the brake system for fluid leakage if the warning lamp remains illuminated even after the parking brake is released.
- Check the reservoir tank for the mixing of foreign matter (e.g. dust) and oils other than brake fluid.

BRAKE LINE
1. Check brake line (tubes and hoses) for cracks, deterioration or other damage. Replace any damaged parts.





2. Depress the brake pedal with a force of 490 N (50 kg, 110 lb) and hold down the pedal for approx. 5 seconds with the engine running. Check for any fluid leakage.

CAUTION:
Retighten the applicable connection to the specified torque and repair any abnormal (damaged, worn or deformed) part if any brake fluid leakage is present.
