Caution / Notice / Hint
NOTE:
- Perform fluid replacement with the shift lever in P and the parking brake applied.
- As brake fluid may overflow when replacing brake fluid, do not place the fluid can on the reservoir filler opening.
- Perform fluid replacement while maintaining the brake fluid level between the MAX and MIN lines on the brake fluid reservoir.
- Replacing brake fluid will be difficult if the following occurs:
- The brake actuator hose (the hose between the brake booster pump assembly and brake master cylinder reservoir assembly) is higher than the fluid level and air enters the hose.
- During the fluid replacement procedure, air enters the brake booster pump assembly while the pump motor is operating.
- While performing fluid replacement, the accumulator pressure drop may cause a buzzer to sound. As there is no problem, continue with fluid replacement.
- During fluid replacement, DTCs for pressure sensor malfunctions, etc. may be stored. After fluid replacement and if instructed in the procedure, clear the DTCs.
- Do not allow brake fluid on any painted vehicle body surface. If brake fluid leaks onto any painted surface, immediately wash it off.
HINT:
There are 2 ways to perform brake fluid replacement: using the Techstream or not using the Techstream.
