Inspection
CAUTION
 Use well-sealed brake fluid DOT4 or equivalent. DO NOT use oily solution, otherwise brake system seal
may be damaged.
 Brake fluid may damage paint surface. If brake fluid spills on paint surface, wash it off immediately with
water.
 DO NOT use gasoline, kerosene, alcohol, engine oil, transmission oil or any other fluid that contains
mineral oil to clean the system components. These kinds of fluid will damage rubber cover and seal.
 During servicing, make sure to clean grease or other foreign matter on the outer surface of brake caliper
assembly, brake lining, brake disc and wheel hub.
 When operating brake disc and brake caliper, be careful to prevent damaging brake disc and brake
caliper or scratching or cutting brake shoe linings.
1. Check conditions of tires and wheels. Damaged or worn wheels and tires can cause a pull, shudder,
vibration and a condition similar to sudden braking.
2. If noise occurs while braking, check suspension components. Bounce vehicle up and down several times
and check suspension or steering components for any looseness, wear or damage.
3. Check brake fluid level and condition.
a. If brake fluid level is low, check ABS control unit assembly, brake wheel cylinder, brake caliper, brake
line, brake master cylinder assembly and brake fluid reservoir, etc. for leakage.
b. If brake fluid is contaminated, drain an amount of fluid to check. Replace with new fluid as necessary.
HINT:
It is normal that brake fluid will become dark after being used for a period of time. Do not mistake this for
contamination.
