Diagnostic Information and Procedures

Brakes Diagnosis Note

Road Testing Brakes

Brakes should be tested on dry, clean, smooth and

reasonably level roadway which is not crowned. Road

test brakes by making brake applications with both light

and heavy pedal forces at various speeds to determine if

the vehicle stops evenly and effectively. Also drive

vehicle to see if it leads to one side or the other without

brake application. If it does, check the tire pressure, front

wheel alignment and front suspension attachments for

looseness. See diagnosis table for other causes.

Brake Fluid Leaks

Check the master cylinder fluid levels. While a slight

drop in reservoir level does result from normal lining

wear, an abnormally low level indicates a leak in the

system. In such a case, check the entire brake system

for leakage. If even a slight evidence of leakage is noted,

the cause should be corrected or defective parts should

be replaced.

Substandard or Contaminated Brake Fluid

Improper brake fluid, mineral oil or water in the fluid may

cause the brake fluid to boil or the rubber components in

the hydraulic system to deteriorate.
