Brake Line

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Subaru Outback and 2012 Subaru Legacy. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Check for scratches, swelling, corrosion, traces of fluid leakage on the brake hoses or pipe joints.
Make sure that brake pipes/hoses do not interfere with adjacent parts and there is no loose connector/clamp during driving.
Check any trace of fluid leakage, scratches, etc. on master cylinder, wheel cylinder and hydraulic unit.
NOTE:
- When the brake fluid level in the reservoir tank is lower than specified limit, the brake warning light on the combination meter will illuminate.
- Visually check the brake hose for damage. (Use a mirror where it is difficult to see)
