Operation and Leakage Check

Component

Procedure

Brake Booster (A)

Check brake operation by applying the brakes during a test drive. If the brakes do not work
properly, check the brake booster. Replace the brake booster as an assembly if it does not
work properly or if there are signs of leakage.

Piston cup and pressure cup
inspection (B)

• Check brake operation by applying the brakes. Look for damage or signs of fluid

leakage. Replace the master cylinder as an assembly if the pedal does not work
properly or if there is damage or signs of fluid leakage.

• Check for a difference in brake pedal stroke between quick and slow brake

applications. Replace the master cylinder if there is a difference in pedal stroke.

Brake hoses (C)

Look for damage or signs of fluid leakage. Replace the brake hose with a new one if it
isdamaged or leaking.

Caliper piston seal and
piston boots (D)

Check brake operation by applying the brakes.
Look for damage or signs of fluid leakage. If the pedal does not work properly, the brakes
drag, or there is damage or signs of fluid leakage, disassemble and inspect the brake
caliper. Replace the boots and seals with new ones whenever the brake caliper is
disassembled.
