BLEED AIR FROM CLUTCH LINE (for Manual Transmission)
Remove the bleeder plug cap.
Connect the vinyl tube to the bleeder plug.
Depress the clutch pedal several times, and then loosen the bleeder plug with the pedal depressed.
At the point when fluid stops coming out, tighten the bleeder plug, and then release the clutch pedal.
Repeat the previous 2 steps until all the air in the fluid is completely bled out.
Tighten the bleeder plug.
Install the bleeder plug cap.
Check that all the air has been bled out of the clutch line.
CHECK BRAKE FLUID LEVEL IN RESERVOIR (for TMT Made)
Check the fluid level.
If the brake fluid level is lower that the MIN line, check for leaks and inspect the disc brake pads. If necessary, refill the reservoir with brake fluid to the MAX line after repair or replacement.

CHECK FOR BRAKE FLUID LEAKAGE
CHECK LOAD SENSING PROPORTIONING VALVE ASSEMBLY
Set the vehicle to its curb weight.
Place weights (as necessary) on the rear deck until the rear axle load is as shown below.
| Standard rear axle load | ||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Note
Be sure that the vehicle is on a level surface before starting the procedure.
When placing the weights on the vehicle, first place the weights so that the total is approximately 60 kg (132 lb) more than the specification. Then remove weights as necessary to adjust the load.
Install SST and bleed air from the brake system.
Raise the front brake fluid pressure to 10000 kPa (107.6 kgf/cm2, 1450 psi) by depressing the brake pedal, and measure the rear brake fluid pressure.
| Standard rear brake fluid pressure | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Tech Tips
The pedal should not be depressed twice or released while raising the front brake fluid pressure.
Read the value of the rear brake fluid pressure after raising and holding the front fluid pressure for 2 seconds.
If necessary, adjust the load sensing proportioning valve.
ADJUST LOAD SENSING PROPORTIONING VALVE ASSEMBLY
Adjust the length of the No. 2 load sensing spring shackle.
When the rear brake fluid pressure is below the standard pressure, lengthen length A.
When the rear brake fluid pressure is higher than the standard pressure, shorten length A.
| Standard Initial Length (A) | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
| Standard Length (A) after Adjustment | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Tech Tips
The rear brake fluid pressure changes according to the table below by adjusting length A.
| Standard Pressure Change | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
If the pressure cannot be adjusted by the No. 2 load sensing spring shackle, loosen the nuts and raise or lower the valve body.
When the pressure is below the standard pressure, lower the load sensing valve assembly.
When the pressure is higher than the standard pressure, raise the load sensing valve assembly.
Tighten the nuts.
Adjust the length of the No. 2 load sensing spring shackle again.
Tech Tips
If the length cannot be adjusted, check the load sensing valve assembly.
