Brake Fluid: Testing and Inspection
Fluid Pressure Test
Fluid Pressure Test (If Equipped with LSPV)
Before testing, confirm the following:
^
Fuel tank is filled with fuel fully
^
Vehicle is equipped with spare tire, tools, jack and jack handle.
1. Stop vehicle on level floor and place approximately about 200 kg (441 lbs.) weight on rear housing so that rear axle weighs 800 kg (1764 lbs.)
Rear axle weight "L": 800 kg (1764 lbs.)
2. Install special tool to front and rear brake
NOTE: Special tool(s) should be connected to breather of front (driver's side brake) and rear brakes.
Special tool
(A): 09956-02310
(B): 09952 46510 (Attachment for thread diameter 8 mm of bleeder plug)
(C): 09952-36310 (Attachment for Bread diameter 7 mm of bleeder plug)
(D): 55473-82030 (Air bleeder plug supplied as a spare part)
NOTE:
^
For brake with bleeder plug (thread diameter: 10 mm) install special tool (A) (fluid pressure gauge).
^
For brake with bleeder plug (thread diameter: 8 mm) install special tool (A) (except attachment) and special tool (B) (attachment).
^
For brake with bleeder plug (thread diameter: 7 mm) install special tool (A) (except attachment) and special tool (C) (attachment).
3. Depress brake pedal gradually till fluid pressure of front brake becomes as specified below and check corresponding pressure of rear brake then It
should be within specification given.
Rear brake pressure with applied by 8,000 kPa (80 kgf/cm2, 1,138 psi) on front brake
6,000 - 7,300 kPa (60 - 73 kgf/cm2, 853 - 1,038 psi) for 3-door model
4,500 - 7,300 kPa (45 - 73 kgf/cm2, 640 - 1,038 psi) for 5-door model
4. As done, apply 100 kgf/cm2 pressure to front brake and check that rear brake pressure then is within specification as given.
Rear brake pressure with applied by 10,000 kPa (100 kgf/cm2, 1,422 psi) on front brake
6,500 - 8,000 kPa (65 - 80 kgf/cm2, 924 - 1,138 psi) for 3-door model
5,000 - 8,000 kPa (50 - 80 kgf/cm2, 711 - 1,138 psi) for 5-door model
