Brake Fluid Pressure Sensor Inspection

2010 Mazda CX-9 Sport, 3.7 V, AWDSECTION Brake Fluid Pressure Sensor Inspection
NOTE:
  • The brake fluid pressure sensor is integrated into the DSC/RSC HU/CM and installed to the brake line of RF-LR brake system. Therefore, perform the brake fluid pressure sensor inspection with the SST installed to the brake pipe on the left front wheel.
  1. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
  2. Disconnect the brake pipe flare nut area using a commercially available flare nut wrench.
  3. Remove the clamp and disconnect the brake hose.
