BRAKE ACTUATOR INSTALLATION

INSTALL BRAKE ACTUATOR WITH BRACKET
1. Engage the guide and install the brake actuator with bracket with the 2 bolts.
  
  Torque:
  
  34 N*m { 342 kgf*cm, 25 ft.*lbf }
  
  Note
  
  Do not damage the brake lines or wire harness.
2. Install the bolt.
  
  Torque:
  
  76 N*m { 775 kgf*cm, 56 ft.*lbf }
3. Using a 10 mm and 12 mm union nut wrench, connect the 6 brake tubes to the brake actuator assembly.
  
  Torque:
  
  Flare Nut 10 mm
  
  15 N*m { 155 kgf*cm, 11 ft.*lbf }
  
  Flare Nut 12 mm
  
  24 N*m { 245 kgf*cm, 18 ft.*lbf }
  
  Note

4. Connect the brake actuator connector.
  Note
  
  Make sure that the actuator connector can be connected smoothly. Do not allow entry of water, oil or dirt.
  
  Make sure that the connector is locked securely.
CONNECT CABLE TO NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL

Note

When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected Click here.
REMOVE OIL RESERVOIR TANK COVER LH
1. Disengage the 4 claws and 3 guides and remove the oil reservoir tank cover LH.
REMOVE LOWER INSTRUMENT PANEL FINISH PANEL SUB-ASSEMBLY RH
FILL RESERVOIR WITH BRAKE FLUID
1. Fill the reservoir with brake fluid.
  
  Fluid
  
  SAE J1703 or FMVSS No. 116 DOT 3
  
  Note
  
  Add brake fluid to keep the level between the MIN and MAX lines of the reservoir while bleeding the brakes.
BLEED MASTER CYLINDER
Tech Tips

If the master cylinder has been disassembled or if the reservoir becomes empty, bleed the air from the master cylinder.
1. Using a 12 mm union nut wrench, disconnect the 2 brake tubes from the master cylinder.
2. Slowly depress the brake pedal and hold it there (Step A).
3. Block the outer holes with your fingers, and release the brake pedal (Step B).
4. Repeat step A and B 3 or 4 times.
5. Using a 12 mm union nut wrench, connect the 2 brake tubes to the master cylinder.
  
  Torque:
  
  24 N*m { 245 kgf*cm, 18 ft.*lbf }

BLEED BRAKE LINE
Note
- Make sure the vehicle is secured in place and cannot move.
- Make sure the ignition switch is off before bleeding the brake system.
1. Connect the vinyl tube to the bleeder plug.
2. Depress the brake pedal 3 times, and then hold down the brake pedal. (Procedure 1)
3. Loosen the bleeder plug at least 90° so that brake fluid and air begin to come out, and then tighten the bleeder plug approximately 2 seconds after opening it. (Procedure 2)
4. Wait 3 seconds after Procedure 2, and then begin depressing the brake pedal again. Repeat Procedures 1 and 2, 10 times or more. (Procedure 3)
  
  Note
  
  Even if air does not come out, repeat the procedures 10 times or more.
5. Repeat Procedure 1 through Procedure 3 above, twice for each wheel, in the following order: Left Front → Left Rear → Right Rear → Right Front → Left Front → Left Rear → Right Rear → Right Front.
6. Tighten the bleeder plug.
  
  Torque:
  
  11 N*m { 112 kgf*cm, 8 ft.*lbf }

Note

If the pedal reserve is low, there may be air remaining in the brake system, so perform a driving test and bleed the brake system again.
CHECK FLUID LEVEL IN RESERVOIR
1. Check the fluid level and add fluid if necessary.
