Refilling


CAUTION:
- Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector or the battery negative terminal before performing work.
- If the brake fluid adheres to the brake caliper assembly and disc rotor, quickly wipe it off.
1. Check that there is no foreign material in the reservoir tank, and refill with new brake fluid.

CAUTION:
- Never reuse drained brake fluid.
- Never allow oils other than brake fluid to enter the reservoir tank.

Repeat this operation at intervals of 2 or 3 seconds until all brake fluid is discharged. Then close the bleeder valve with the brake pedal depressed. Repeat the same work on each wheel.
