Inspection Procedure

1. Check that the brake fluid level is sufficient.

   HINT:

   • If the fluid level drops, check for a fluid leak, and repair if found.
   • If no leaks exist, add and adjust fluid and then check that the trouble code is not output again.

   OK: 

   Brake fluid level is proper. 

NG: ADD BRAKE FLUID 

OK: Go to next step 

1. Check if the DTCs are recorded (see DTC CHECK / CLEAR  ).

OK: REPAIR CIRCUIT INDICATED BY OUTPUT CODE 

NG: Go to next step 

1. Remove the parking brake switch connector.
2. Measure the resistance of the switch.
