Inspection Procedure

1. Check that the brake fluid level is sufficient.

   HINT:

   When releasing the parking brake, set the chocks to hold the vehicle for safety.

   • If the fluid level drops, check for a fluid leak, and repair if found.
   • If ho leak exists, add and adjust fluid and then check that the trouble code is not output again.

   OK: 

   Brake fluid level is proper.

OK : Go to Next Step 

1. Disconnect the brake fluid level warning switch connector.
2. Measure the resistance according to the value (s) in the table below.

   HINT:

   A float is placed inside the reservoir. Its position can be changed by increasing/decreasing the level of brake fluid.

   Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
   1-2	Float up (Switch OFF)	1.84 to 2.16 kΩ
   1 -2	Float down (Switch ON)	Below 1 Ω

   HINT:

   If there is no problem after finishing the above check, adjust the brake fluid level to the MAX level with the engine switch on (IG).

OK : Go to Next Step 

1. Clear the DTCs (see DTC CHECK/CLEAR  ).
2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
3. Check if the same DTC is recorded (see DTC CHECK/CLEAR  ).

   HINT:

   Reinstall the sensors, connectors, etc. and restore the vehicle to its prior condition before rechecking for DTCs.
