ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
NOTICE:
If using a dropper to adjust the fluid amount, make sure that the dropper has not been used with mineral oils, water or deteriorated brake fluid. Sealed areas may deteriorate and lead to fluid leaks, or the fluid may deteriorate and lead to decreased efficiency.
HINT:
If the brake fluid level is below the MIN line, inspect for brake fluid leaks and brake pad wear. After repair or replacement, adjust the brake fluid level in the reservoir as specified below.
PROCEDURE
1. INSPECT AND ADJUST FLUID LEVEL IN RESERVOIR (When Using the Techstream)
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3 with the power switch off.
