CAUTION:
  • Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces. Be careful not to spill any on painted surfaces. In addition, if there is any brake fluid on the wiring harness, the wire insulation may corrode causing a malfunction such as a short circuit. If brake fluid gets on a painted surface or wiring harness, wash and flush it off completely with water immediately.
NOTE:
  • The following inspection methods are simple inspection methods to judge the function of the power brake unit.
  • If there is any malfunction in the power brake unit, replace the power brake unit as a single unit. (See POWER BRAKE UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
  • Tighten the brake pipe flare nut using any commercially available flare nut wrench.
