Note


  • When removing or installing the rear disc brake caliper assembly, if the piston of the brake caliper is pushed in, the clearance between the brake pad and rear disc will become large. In this condition, depressing the brake pedal may cause DTC C1214 (Hydraulic Control System Malfunction) to be stored, so 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.

PROCEDURE


  1. PRECAUTION

    Note

    After turning the power switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal notices before proceeding with work.
