Brake Line

  1. Check for scratches, swelling, corrosion, traces of fluid leakage on the 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 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)
