FRONT BRAKE FLEXIBLE HOSE INSTALLATION

Tech Tips


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

  • The procedure listed below is for the LH side.


  1. INSTALL FRONT BRAKE FLEXIBLE HOSE


    1. Install the front brake flexible hose with a new clip.

      Note

      Securely install the clip.

    2. Connect the brake tube to the front brake flexible hose with a union nut wrench while holding the front brake flexible hose with a wrench.

      Torque:
      15 N*m  { 155 kgf*cm, 11 ft.*lbf }

      Note


      • Do not bend or damage the brake tube.

      • Do not allow any foreign matter such as dirt and dust to enter the brake tube from the connecting point.

      • Use the formula to calculate special torque values for situations where a union nut wrench is combined with a torque wrench Click here.

    3. Install a new gasket and connect the flexible hose with the union bolt.

      Torque:
      39 N*m  { 400 kgf*cm, 29 ft.*lbf }

  2. BLEED BRAKE LINE

    CAUTION:

    If the brake fluid is replaced without using the GTS, the procedure will be incomplete which could lead to problems or accidents. Always use the GTS when performing fluid replacement.


    1. Bleed air from the brake lines.


      1. A01FSJ7

        Remove the 2 ABS motor relays.

        Tech Tips

        If the ABS relays are already removed, this procedure is unnecessary.

      2. Remove the brake master cylinder reservoir filler cap assembly.

      3. Add brake fluid so that the fluid level is between the MIN and MAX lines of the brake fluid reservoir.

        Brake fluid
        SAE J1703 or FMVSS No. 116 DOT 3

      4. With the power switch off, connect the GTS to the DLC3.

      5. Turn the power switch on (IG), turn the GTS on, and enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRC / Utility / ECB (Electronically Controlled Brake system) Invalid.

      6. Repeatedly depress the brake pedal to bleed the air from the bleeder plug of the front disc brake cylinder RH.

        Note

        Add fluid so that the fluid level does not drop below the MIN line on the brake fluid reservoir.

      7. After bleeding the air, depress and hold the brake pedal, and tighten the bleeder plug.

        Torque:
        11 N*m  { 110 kgf*cm, 8 ft.*lbf }

      8. In the same way as the RH side, bleed air from the bleeder plug of the front disc brake cylinder LH.

      9. Follow the GTS screen, to end ECB (Electronically Controlled Brake system) Invalid.

      10. Install the 2 ABS motor relays with the power switch off.

      11. Turn the power switch on (IG), turn the GTS on, and enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRC / Utility / ECB (Electronically Controlled Brake system) Invalid.

      12. While depressing the brake pedal, loosen the bleeder plug of the rear disc brake cylinder LH. While the pump motor and solenoid are operating, bleed the air.

        Note

        Add fluid so that the fluid level does not drop below the MIN line on the brake fluid reservoir.

      13. After bleeding the air, tighten the bleeder plug and release the brake pedal.

        Torque:
        8.3 N*m  { 85 kgf*cm, 73 in.*lbf }

      14. In the same way as the LH side, bleed air from the bleeder plug of the rear disc brake cylinder RH.

      15. Follow the GTS screen to end ECB (Electronically Controlled Brake system) Invalid.

    2. Clear DTCs Click here.

    3. Turn the GTS off and turn the power switch off.

    4. Check for brake fluid leaks.

    5. Inspect and adjust the brake fluid level in the reservoir Click here.

  3. INSTALL FRONT WHEEL

    Torque:
    103 N*m  { 1050 kgf*cm, 76 ft.*lbf }
