Brake Line: Inspection

  1. Check scratches, swelling, corrosion and/or traces of fluid leakage on brake hoses or pipe joints.
  2. Check the possibility of adjacent parts interfering with brake pipes/hoses during driving, and loose connections/clamps.
  3. Check any trace of fluid leakage, scratches, etc. on master cylinder, wheel cylinder and pressure control valve.
    NOTE:
    • When the brake fluid level in the reservoir tank is lower than the specified limit, the brake fluid warning light on the combination meter will come on.
    • Visually check brake hose (using a mirror where it is difficult to see) for any damage.
