BRAKE FLUID ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note

If using a dropper to adjust the fluid amount, make sure that the dropper has not been used with mineral oils, water or deteriorated brake fluid. Sealed areas may deteriorate and lead to fluid leaks, or the fluid may deteriorate and lead to decreased efficiency.

PROCEDURE


  1. INSPECT AND ADJUST FLUID LEVEL IN RESERVOIR (when Using the GTS)


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3 with the power switch off.

    2. Check that park (P) is selected and the parking brake is applied, and turn the power switch on (IG).

    3. Turn the GTS on and enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRC / Utility / ECB (Electronically Controlled Brake system) / Zero Down.

  2. INSPECT AND ADJUST FLUID LEVEL IN RESERVOIR (when Not Using the GTS)


    1. A01MHOHC01
      *a Fluid Level Support Line

      Check that the fluid level is above the MIN line with the power switch on (IG). If necessary, refill the brake fluid to the fluid level support line with the power switch on (IG).
