Brake Fluid (For Vacuum Brake Booster) -- Replacement |
- NOTICE:
- Do not allow brake fluid to come into contact with any painted surface. If contact occurs, wash off the fluid immediately.
- Perform brake fluid replacement while adding fluid to maintain the fluid level between the MIN and MAX lines of the reservoir.
- If bleeding is performed with the engine running or the ignition switch ON, DTC C1441 will be stored. Make sure to clear the DTCs when work is complete (for VSC).
