Conventional Brake Components: Other Honda Pilot I рестайлинг

Brake Pedal Sinks/Fades When Braking

1. Set the parking brake, and start the engine, then turn off the A/C switch. Allow the engine to warm up to normal operating temperature (radiator fan comes on twice).
2. Attach a 50 mm (2 in.) piece of masking tape along the bottom of the steering wheel, and draw a horizontal reference mark across it.
3. With the transmission in Neutral, press and hold the brake pedal lightly (about the same pressure needed to keep an A/T-equipped vehicle from creeping), then release the parking brake.
4. While still holding the brake pedal, hook the end of the tape measure behind the brake pedal, then pull the tape up to the steering wheel. Note the measurement between the brake pedal and the reference mark on the steering wheel.
5. Apply steady pressure to the brake pedal for 3 minutes.
6. Watch the tape measure. If it moves less than 10 mm (3/8 in.), the master cylinder is OK. If it moves more than 10 mm (3/8 in.) replace the master cylinder.

Brake System Bleeding

Note. Do not reuse the drained fluid. Use only clean Honda DOT 3 Brake Fluid from an unopened container. Using a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and shorten the life of the system. Make sure no dirt or other foreign matter is allowed to contaminate the brake fluid. Do not mix different brands of brake fluid; they may not be compatible. Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle, it may damage the paint; if brake fluid does contact the paint, wash it off immediately with water. The reservoir on the master cylinder must be at the MAX (upper) level mark at the start of the bleeding procedure and checked after bleeding each brake caliper. Add fluid as required.

1. Make sure the brake fluid level in the reservoir is at the MAX (upper) level line (A).
2. Slide a piece of clear plastic hose over the first bleed screw, and submerge the other end in a container of new brake fluid.
3. Have someone slowly pump the brake pedal several times, then apply steady pressure.
4. Starting at the left-front, loosen the brake bleed screw to allow air to escape from the system. Then tighten the bleed screw securely.
5. Repeat the procedure for each wheel in the sequence shown following until air bubbles no longer appear in the fluid. Front Rear
6. Refill the master cylinder reservoir to the MAX (upper) level line.

Parking Brake Shoe Lining Break-in

Note. Do the brake linings surface break-in when replacing shoes with new brake linings and/or new rear brake disc/drum.

Scheme 66

1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level surface.
2. Do the major parking brake adjustment (see «MAJOR ADJUSTMENT (TO BE DONE WHEN REPLACING PARKING BRAKE SHOES)»(ref-243293-S12588210012006082300000) ).
3. Do the minor parking brake adjustment (see «PEDAL FREE PLAY»(ref-243293-S09249649662006082300000) ).
4. Press the parking brake pedal 2 to 4 clicks.
5. Drive the vehicle for 400 m (1/4 mile) at no more than 31 mph (50 km/h).
6. Stop the vehicle and release the parking brake for 5-10 minutes to allow the drum in the brake disc/ drum to cool.
7. Repeat steps 4 through 6 three more times.
8. Check the parking brake pedal adjustment (see «PEDAL FREE PLAY»(ref-243293-S09249649662006082300000) ).

Scheme 67

1. Disconnect the brake pedal position switch connector (A).
2. Remove the lock pin (B) and joint pin (C). NOTE: Use a new lock pin whenever installing.
3. Remove the brake pedal bracket mounting bolt (D) and nuts (E).
4. Remove the brake pedal with bracket (F).
5. Install in the reverse order of removal.
6. Do the brake pedal and brake pedal position switch adjustment (see «BRAKE PEDAL AND BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SWITCH ADJUSTMENT»(ref-243293-S06106499512006082300000) ).

Scheme 68

1. Inspect the brake hoses for damage, deterioration, leaks, interference, and twisting.
2. Check the brake lines for damage, rusting, and leaks. Also check for bent brake lines.
3. Check for leaks at hose and line joints and connections, and retighten if necessary.
4. Check the master cylinder and VSA modulator-control unit for damage and leaks. NOTE: Replace the brake hose clip whenever the brake hose is serviced.
