Brake Fluid Level, Fluid Leak, and Brake Pad Inspection

BRAKE FLUID LEVEL, FLUID LEAK, AND BRAKE PAD INSPECTION
1. Check fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir. If fluid level is low, add fluid.
2. Check the brake piping and around the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) for leaks. If there is leaking or seeping fluid, check the following items.
^ If ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connection is loose, tighten the piping to the specified torque and recheck for leaks.
^ If there is damage to the connection flare nut or ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) threads, replace the damaged part and recheck for leaks.
^ When there is fluid leaking or seeping from a fluid connection, use a clean cloth to wipe off the fluid and recheck for leaks. If fluid is still seeping out, replace the damaged part. If the fluid is leaking at the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit), replace the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) assembly

CAUTION: The ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) cannot be disassembled and must be replaced as an assembly.

3. Check the brake pads for excessive wear.
