Brake Fluid Level, Leaks, and Brake Pad Inspection

BASIC INSPECTION 1: BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND LEAK INSPECTION
1. Check fluid level in the brake reservoir tank. If fluid level is low, refill the brake fluid.
2. Check for leakage in brake piping and around ABS actuator. If leakage or seepage is found, check as follows.
- If ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector is loose, tighten piping to specified torque. Then inspect again and confirm that there is no leakage.
- If connection of flare nuts or screws of ABS actuator are damaged, replace damaged parts. Then inspect again and confirm that there is no leakage.
- If there is leakage or seepage at any location other than ABS actuator connections, wipe away leakage or seepage with clean cloth. Then inspect again and confirm that there is no leakage.
- If there is leakage from ABS actuator, wipe away leakage or seepage with clean cloth. Then inspect again. If there is leakage or seepage, replace ABS actuator unit.

CAUTION: ABS actuator body cannot be disassembled.

3. Check brake disc rotor and pads and brake drum and linings.
