FRONT BRAKE INSTALLATION

Info Added 2017-10-06

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note


  • Immediately after installing the brake pads, the braking performance may be reduced. Always perform a road test in a safe place while paying attention to the surroundings.

  • When the brake pedal is first depressed after replacing the brake pads or pushing back the brake caliper piston, DTC C1214 may be stored. As there is no malfunction, clear the DTC.

  • While the auxiliary battery is connected, even if the power switch is off, the brake control system will be activated when the brake pedal is depressed or any door courtesy switch turns on. Therefore, disconnect the auxiliary battery to prevent the brake control system from being activated.

  • After replacing the front disc brake pads, always perform a road test to check the braking performance and check for vibrations.

Tech Tips


  • Use the same procedure for the RH side and LH side.

  • The following procedure is for the LH side.
