Brakes and Traction Control: Service Precautions

Wheels and Tires Removal/Installation
^ The removal and installation procedures for the wheels and tires are not mentioned in this section. When a wheel is removed, retighten it to 89 - 117 Nm (9 - 12 kgf-m, 66 - 86 ft. lbs.).

Brake Lines Disconnection/Connection

Caution:
^ Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces. If brake fluid gets on a painted surface, wipe It off immediately.

^ Tighten the brake pipe flare nut by using the SST (49 0259 77OB). Be sure to modify the brake pipe flare nut tightening torque to allow for use of a torque wrench-SST combination.
^ If any brake line has been disconnected anytime during the procedure, add brake fluid, bleed the brakes, and inspect for leakage after the procedure has been completed.

Connectors Disconnection
^ Disconnect the negative battery cable before doing any work that requires handling of connectors. Connect the negative battery cable only after the work is completed.

ABS/TCS Components Operations
^ Make sure that there are no diagnostic trouble codes in the ABS/TCS memory after working on ABS/TCS components. If there are any codes in the memory, erase them.
