Preliminary Inspections

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 GMC Sierra, 2002 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2002 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2002 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Visually inspect easily accessible brake system components for obvious damage and/or leaks which may indicate that the vehicle should not be driven until further inspections have been completed.
  2. Inspect the brake master cylinder reservoir fluid level and adjust only if necessary for brake system road testing. Refer to Brake Pedal Pushrod Inspection .
  3. Inspect the tire inflation pressures and adjust as necessary.
  4. Inspect the tire tread patterns to ensure that they are the same or very similar, especially per axle.
  5. Ensure that the vehicle is not loaded unevenly prior to brake system road testing.
