TROUBLESHOOTING PRECAUTION
NOTE:
- Care must be taken to replace each part properly as it could affect the performance of the brake system and result in a driving hazard. Replace the parts with those having the same part number or equivalent.
- It is very important to keep parts and the area clean when repairing the brake system.
- If the vehicle is equipped with a mobile communication system, refer to the Precautions in the introduction article (See PRECAUTION ).
- Care must be taken when using magnets as they could affect the performance of the speed sensors.
- Since the brake lines are classified as critical safety related parts, be sure to disassemble and inspect the components if a brake fluid leak is found. If any abnormality is found, replace the component with a new one.
- When removing brake components, cover the brake line connections to prevent foreign matter such as dust or dirt from entering the lines.
- Do not damage or deform the brake lines when removing or installing them.
- Do not allow brake fluid to adhere to any painted surface such as the vehicle body. If brake fluid leaks onto any painted surface, immediately wash it off.
