Brakes and Traction Control: Service Precautions
BRAKE SYSTEM (OTHER): BRAKE SYSTEM: PRECAUTION
CAUTION:
* While the battery is connected, even if the power switch is off, the brake control system activates when the brake pedal is depressed or any door courtesy switch is turned on. Therefore, when servicing brake system components, do not depress the brake pedal or open/close the doors while the battery is connected.
* The Techstream must be used when bleeding the brake system. If it is not used, bleeding will be incomplete, which is hazardous and may lead to an accident.
NOTICE:
* Care must be taken to replace each part properly as it could affect the performance of the brake system and result in a driving hazard. Replace the parts with those having the same part number or equivalent.
* It is very important to keep parts and the area clean when repairing the brake system.
* If the vehicle is equipped with a mobile communication system, refer to Precaution in the introduction section Service Precautions.
* Care must be taken when using magnets as they could affect the performance of the speed sensors.
* When disconnecting the brake line during servicing, be sure to disable brake control.
