Brake fluid type
SAE J1703, FMVSS 116 DOT-3
1. Remove the bleeder cap from the brake caliper, and connect a vinyl tube to the bleeder screw.
2. Place the other end of the vinyl tube in a clear container, and fill the container with fluid during air
bleeding.
3. Working with two people, one should depress the brake pedal a few times and then depress and hold the
pedal down.
4. While the brake pedal is being held down, the other person should loosen the bleeder screw using the
SST , and bleed any fluid containing air bubbles. Once completed, tighten the bleeder screw.
Tightening torque
Front: 6.9-9.8 N.m {71-99 Kgf.cm, 62-86 in.lbf}
Rear: 6.0-8.0 N.m {62-81 Kgf.cm, 54-70 in.lbf}
5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 until no air bubbles are seen.
6. Perform air bleeding as described in the above procedures for all brake calipers.
7. After air bleeding, inspect the following:
Brake operation
Fluid leakage
Fluid level
NOTE:
Keep the fluid level in the reserve tank at 3/4 full or more during the air
bleeding.
Begin air bleeding with the master cylinder and then continue with the
brake caliper that is furthest away from the master cylinder. Finish by
bleeding air from the master cylinder again.

VACUUM LINE INSPECTION
1. Remove the vacuum hose between the power brake unit and the intake manifold using pliers.
2. Verify that air can be blown from the power brake unit side of the vacuum hose towards the intake
manifold side, and that air cannot be blown in the opposite direction.
If there is any malfunction of the inner check valve, replace it together with the vacuum hose as a
single unit.
