AIR BLEEDING
| CAUTION | Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces. Be careful not to spill any on painted surfaces. If it is spilled, wipe it off immediately. |
Brake fluid type
SAE J1703, FMVSS 116 DOT-3
Scheme 42
- Add brake fluid to the reserve tank.
- Bleed the air from the brake system using the following procedure. NOTE: Keep the fluid level in the reserve tank at 3/4 full or more during the air bleeding. Begin air bleeding with the brake caliper that is furthest from the master cylinder. Remove the bleeder cap on the brake caliper, and attach a vinyl tube to the bleeder screw. Place the other end of the vinyl tube in a clear container and fill the container with fluid during air bleeding. Working with two people, one should pump the brake pedal several times and depress and hold the pedal down. While the brake pedal is depressed, the other should loosen the bleeder screw using a commercially available flare nut wrench, drain out any fluid containing air bubbles, and tighten the bleeder screw. Tightening torque Front: 5.9-9.8 N.m {61-99 kgf.cm, 53-86 in.lbf} Rear: 6.9-9.8 N.m {71-99 kgf.cm, 61-86 in.lbf} Repeat Steps 3 and 4 until no air bubbles are seen. Perform air bleeding as described in the above procedures for all brake calipers.
- Bleed the air from the DSC/RSC HU using the M-MDS. (See «DSC/RSC HU AIR BLEEDING»(ref-663039-S16370478272014101600000) .)
- After air bleeding, inspect the following: Brake operation Fluid leakage Fluid level
Scheme 43
- Measure the distance from the center of the upper surface of the pedal pad to the insulator and verify that it is as specified. If not within the specification, inspect the following items and repair or replace the applicable part if there is any malfunction. Power brake unit installation condition Deformation of or damage to the power brake unit fork Brake pedal installation condition Clevis pin wear If there is no malfunction in the above items, replace the brake pedal.
