Brakes and Traction Control: Service Precautions

Wheels and Tires Removal/Installation
1. When a wheel is removed, tighten it to 89 - 127 Nm (9.0 - 13.0 kgf-cm, 6 - 94 ft. lbs.).

Brake Lines Disconnection/Connection
1. Tighten the brake pipe flare nut using the SST (49 0259 770B). Be sure to modify the brake pipe flare nut tightening torque to allow for use of a torque wrench-SST combination.
- If any brake line has been disconnected anytime during the procedure, add brake fluid, bleed the brakes, and inspect for leakage after the procedure has been completed.

Caution: Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces. If brake fluid does get on a painted surface, wipe it off immediately.

Connectors Disconnection/Connection
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable before performing any work that requires handling of connectors. Reconnect the negative battery cable only after the work is completed.

ABS/TCS Components Removal/Installation
1. Make sure that there are no DTCs in the ABS/TCS memory after working on ABS/TCS components.
- If there are any DTCs in the memory, clear them.
