FRONT DISC BRAKE PAD REMOVAL

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note


  • After the brake pad has been replaced or after the piston of the brake caliper has been returned, because the clearance between the brake pad and the disc rotor is large, depressing the brake pedal may cause DTC C1214 (Hydraulic Control System Malfunction) to be stored. If this happens, check and clear DTCs after the procedure is complete.

  • With the auxiliary battery connected, even if the power switch is off, turning a door courtesy switch ON or operating the brake pedal will activate the brake control system, so disconnect the negative auxiliary battery terminal so that brake control is prohibited, even if only installing or removing the brake pad.
