INSPECTION
OR SERVICE
Brake System
Inspection
WHAT SHOULD BE DONE
Inspect the complete system. Inspect
brake lines and hoses for proper
hookup, binding, leaks, cracks,
chafing, etc. Inspect disc brake pads for
wear and rotors for surface condition.
Also inspect drum brake linings for
wear and cracks. Inspect other brake
parts, including drums, wheel
cylinders, calipers, parking brake, etc.
Check parking brake adjustment. You
may need to have your brakes inspected
more often if your driving habits or
conditions result in frequent braking.
NOTE:
A
low brake fluid level can
indicate worn disc brake pads which
may need to be serviced. Also, if the
brake system warning light stays on or
comes on, something may be wrong
with the brake system. See "Brake
System Warning Light" in the Index. If
your anti-lock brake system warning
light stays on or comes on, something
may be wrong with the anti-lock brake
system. See "Anti-Lock Brake System
Warning Light" in the Index.
