BRAKE SYSTEM
BRAKE FLUID INSPECTION
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. View the brake fluid level in the reservoir. The level
should be between the MAX and MIN level lines.
3. Clean the area around the fill cap. Remove cap and
add DOT 4 brake fluid if necessary.
4. Install reservoir cap.
5. Apply brake pedal forcefully for a few seconds and
check for fluid leakage around the master cylinder
fittings and the brake caliper fittings.
BRAKE HOSE AND FITTING INSPECTION
Check brake system hoses and fittings for cracks,
deterioration, abrasion, and leaks. Tighten any loose
fittings and replace any worn or damaged parts. Be sure
lines are secured away from moving parts or sharp
edges. Refer to Chapter 7 (Brakes) for torque values and
repair procedures.
BRAKE PAD / DISC INSPECTION
1. Check brake pads for wear, damage, or looseness.
2. Inspect brake pad friction material thickness. Pads
should be changed when friction material is worn to
.040” (1 mm).
3. Visually inspect surface condition of brake discs. If
wear is evident, measure thickness of disc at 4
locations 90 degrees apart (A), and in 2 spots within
the brake pad contact area (B).
4. Disc(s) should be replaced if severely grooved, worn,
warped, or if disc thickness at any measurement
point is less than specified service limit (see Chapter
9 for specifications).
