FRONT DISC BRAKE PAD(for 6-Pot Caliper) REMOVAL

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note

After replacing the front disc brake pads, the brake pedal may feel soft due to clearance between the front disc brake pads and front disc. Depress the brake pedal several times until the brake pedal feels firm.

Tech Tips


  • Use the same procedure for the RH and LH sides, except where indicated.

  • The following procedure is for the LH side.

PROCEDURE


  1. PRECAUTION (w/o Vacuum Brake Booster)

    Note


    • When the brake pedal is first depressed after replacing the brake pads or pushing back the disc brake piston, DTC C1341, C1342, C1343 and/or C1344 may be stored. As there is no malfunction, clear the DTCs.

    • While the battery is connected, even if the engine switch is off, the brake control system activates when the brake pedal is depressed or the door courtesy switch is turned on. Therefore, even if only brake pads are to be removed and installed, be sure to remove the brake booster pump connectors before beginning work.
