Brake Pad: Testing and Inspection
BRAKE PADS INSTALLEDNOTE: The brake pads have wear indicators that contact the brake disc when the brake pad thickness becomes 2 mm (.08 in.). The wear indicators emit a squealing sound to warn the driver to have the pads replaced and to have the brake system checked.
Check Brake Pad Thickness:
Check brake pad thickness through caliper body check port.
- Standard value: 10 mm (0.39 inch).
- Minimum thickness: 2.0 mm (0.08 inch).
NOTE:
- When the limit is exceeded, the brake pads on both the left and right wheels must be replaced as a set.
- If there is a significant difference in the thicknesses of the pads on the left and right sides, check the sliding condition of the piston, lock pin and guide pin.
BRAKE PADS REMOVED
Measure thickness at the thinnest and worn area of the pad. Replace pad assembly when pad thickness is less than the limit value.
- Standard value: 10 mm (0.39 inch).
- Minimum thickness: 2.0 mm (0.08 inch).
NOTE:
- When the limit is exceeded, the brake pads on both the left and right wheels must be replaced as a set.
