  9. Bleed the brake line and the SSTs  of air. Bleed the air form the SSTs  using bleeder screw A.
  10. Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.
  11. Select the "BRK_F_P_R" PID.
  12. Start the engine.
  13. Depress the brake pedal, and confirm that the fluid pressure value of the SST  (Gauge) and the value shown on the M-MDS are equal
  14. After the inspection, remove the SSTs  , install the brake hose, clamp, and brake pipe to the original positions, and then bleed the air from the brake line. (See BRAKE HOSE (FRONT) REMOVAL/INSTALLATION and BRAKE FLUID AIR BLEEDING .)
