Brakes and Traction Control: Service Precautions

PRECAUTIONS
Wheels and Tires Removal/Installation
1. The removal and installation procedures for the wheels and tires are not mentioned in this section. When a wheel is removed, tighten it to 88 - 118 Nm (9.0 - 12.0 kgf-cm, 65.0 - 87.0 ft. lbs.).

Brake Lines Disconnection/Connection

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

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.

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

ABS/TCS/TCS Components Operations
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.
