Brake Fluid Level and Leak Inspection

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

CAUTION: VDC actuator body cannot be disassembled.

3. Check brake disc rotor and pads. Refer to BR-21, "PAD WEAR INSPECTION" (front disc brake), BR-27, "PAD WEAR INSPECTION" (rear disc brake).
