ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. INSPECT BRAKE LINE PIPES AND HOSES
HINT: Check in a well-lighted area. Check the entire circumference and length of the brake hoses using a mirror as required. Turn the front wheels fully right or left before checking the front brakes.
a. Check all the brake lines and hoses for:
^ Damage
^ Wear
^ Deformation
^ Cracks
^ Corrosion
^ Leaks
^ Bends
^ Twists
b. Check all the clamps for tightness and connections for leakage.
c. Check that the hoses and lines are clear of sharp edges, moving parts and the exhaust system.
d. Check that the lines are installed in grommets pass through the center of the grommets.
2. INSPECT FRONT BRAKE PADS AND DISCS
HINT: If a squealing or scraping noise is heard from the brakes while driving, check the pad wear indicator.
If there are traces of the indicator contacting the disc rotor, the disc pad should be replaced.
3. INSPECT REAR BRAKE PADS AND DISCS
4. INSPECT REAR BRAKE LININGS AND DRUMS
5. INSPECT OR CHANGE BRAKE FLUID
Fluid: SAE J1703 or FMVSS No.116 DOT 3
