Component Tests and General Diagnostics

Operation and Leakage Check

Check all of the following items:









Brake System Bleeding

CAUTION:
- Do not reuse the drained fluid.
- Always use genuine DOT3/DOT4 brake Fluid.
Using a non-genuine DOT3/DOT4 brake fluid can cause corrosion and decrease the life of the system.
- Make sure no dirt or other foreign matter is allowed to contaminate the brake fluid.
- Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle, it may damage the paint; if brake fluid does contact the paint, wash it off immediately with water.
- The reservoir on the master cylinder must be at the MAX (upper) level mark at the start of bleeding procedure and checked after bleeding each air bleed screw. Add fluid as required.

Air bleeding tool installation procedure
1. Check that air bleeding tool valve (A) is closed and connect the compressed air hose (B).





CAUTION:
- Reservoir might be damaged when connecting the compressed air hose and valve is opened.
- HPU(Hydraulic Power Unit) and reservoir might be permanent damaged when the 0.8 MPa (116 psi) or more pressure is supplied.

2. Control the air bleeding tool gauge is to be 0.3 - 0.5 MPa (43.5 - 72.5 psi).
3. Open the reservoir cap and cover it with air bleeding tool cap (A).





NOTE:
- Install the cap tightly to avoid the opening.

4. Pressurize by opening the air bleeding tool valve (A). And check that the pressure is 0.3 - 0.5 MPa (43.5 - 72.5 psi).




Air bleeding tool removal procedure
1. Close the air bleeding tool valve (A) firstly when the air bleeding completed.




2. Disconnect the compressed air hose (B).
3. Depressurize the reservoir by opening the air bleeding tool valve and close again.




4. Remove the air bleeding tool cap (A) from reservoir.




Bleeding procedure
1. Make sure the brake fluid in the reservoir is at the MAX(upper) level line.
2. Use the air bleeding tool (SST: 09580-3D100) and feed oil pressure (0.3 - 0.5 MPa (43.5 - 72.5 psi)) into the reservoir.
3. Loosen the bleed screw (A) on the wheel and initiate air bleeding on all the wheels.

4. Repeat the procedure for wheel in the sequence shown below until air bubbles no longer appear in the fluid.




5. Tighten the bleeder screw.

Tightening torque:
6.9 - 12.7 N.m (0.7 - 1.3 kgf.m, 5.1 - 9.4 lb-ft)

6. Refill the master cylinder reservoir to MAX(upper) level line.
