STEP 2. Check disc brake pistons for smooth
operation.
(1) Depress the brake pedal repeatedly more than

40 times with the ignition switch at the "LOCK"
(OFF) position to release the pressure in the HBB
power supply system.

(2) Test each disc brake assembly one at a time.

a. Remove the lower caliper bolt, then remove

caliper from mount.

b. Have an assistant slowly depress the brake

pedal. Confirm piston(s) extend slowly and
smoothly with no jumpiness. Repeat for each
disc brake assembly.

contact surfaces of all brakes.

Q: Is oil, water, etc., on the pad contact surface?

YES :

Replace the pads on both left and right

wheels as a set and determine the
source/cause of foreign material. Then go to
Step 6.
