Bypass Condition Test

1. Check fluid in brake master cylinder. Fill brake master cylinder reservoir if low or empty.
2. Observe fluid level in brake master cylinder reservoir. If after several brake applications the fluid level remains the same, measure wheel turning torque required to rotate wheels with brakes applied as follows:
- Place transaxle in NEUTRAL and raise vehicle on hoist.
- Apply brakes with a minimum of 445 N (100 lbs.) and hold for approximately 15 seconds. With brakes still applied, exert torque on front wheels to 101 Nm (75 ft. lbs.). If either wheel rotates, replace brake master cylinder.
