FRONT DISC BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Tech Tips


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

  • The following procedure is for the LH side.

Note


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

  • While the auxiliary battery is connected, even if the power 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 perform the Disable Brake Control procedure and disconnect the cable from the negative (-) terminal of the auxiliary battery before beginning work.

  • After replacing the disc brake pads, the clearance between the disc brake pads and front discs becomes larger and the brake pedal feel becomes softer. Therefore, after replacing the disc brake pads, depress the brake pedal several times and check the clearance and brake pedal feel.
