Brake Fluid: Testing and Inspection
Fluid Pressure Test
Fluid Pressure Test (If Equipped with LSPV)
Test procedure for LSPV assembly is as follows. Before testing, confirm the followings.
^
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 100 kg (220 lbs.) weight (2) on rear housing so that rear axle weighs 900 kg (1984
lbs.).
Rear axle weight "L": 900 kg (1984 lb)
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 (3) of thread diameter 8 mm of bleeder plug)
(C): 09952-48320 (Attachment (3) for thread diameter 7 mm of bleeder plug)
(D): 55473-82030 (Air bleeder plug (1) 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 and check corresponding pressure of rear brake then. It
should be within specification.
LSPV specification
Front brake: 8,000 kPa (80 kgf/cm2, 1,138 psi)
Rear brake: 6,500 - 7,500 kPa (65 - 75 kgf/cm2, 925 - 1,066 psi)
4. As done Step 3), apply 100 kgf/cm2 pressure to front brake and check that rear brake pressure then is within specification.
LSPV specification (applied 100 kgf/cm2 pressure to front brake)
Front brake: 10,000 kPa (100 kgf/cm2, 1,422 psi)
Rear brake: 7,300 - 8,300 kPa (73 - 83 kgf/cm2, 1,039 - 1,180 psi)
