| Pre-crash safety system | |||
| Parking assist monitor system | |||
| Initialize back door lock | Power door lock control system |
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.
After replacing the rear disc brake pads, the brake pedal may feel soft due to clearance between the rear disc brake pads and rear disc. Depress the brake pedal several times until the brake pedal feels firm.
When the brake pedal is first depressed after replacing the brake pads or pushing back the disc brake 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 activates when the brake pedal is depressed or any door courtesy switch turns on. Therefore, when servicing the brake system components, do not operate the brake pedal or open/close the doors while the auxiliary battery is connected.
After replacing the rear 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.

To compensate for pad lining thickness, use SST to adjust the protrusion of the rear disc brake piston by turning it.
Note
Place the disc between the 2 brake pads and determine the piston return value.
Turn the rear disc brake piston to the position where the protrusion on the rear disc brake pad lines up properly with the piston groove.
Make sure the brake fluid does not overflow from the reservoir.
Hold the rear disc brake pad guide pin and install the rear disc brake cylinder assembly to the rear disc brake cylinder mounting with the bolt.
Note
Install the rear disc brake cylinder assembly while holding both of the rear disc brake pads because the anti-squeal springs may fall off the rear disc brake pads.
