Where do you put brake fluid - LS 400 Lexus Cars & Trucks

check the brake booster a lot of times they will leak on the inside of the firewall and run down under the carpet inseide look under the dash where the brake pedal rod goes thru the fire wall and see if there is and brake fluid coming thru
to bleed brakes by myself i use a bottle of brake fluid and get a hose the size of the bleeder on the brakes and put the hose over it and put the other end in the brake fluid open the bleader a little and pump the brakes air goes out and it will pull the fluid back in

Never brake fluid and nothing else goes in brake master cylinder.

Put power steering fluid or automatic transmission fluid (dextron)

how much brake fluid did you remove or put brake shoes on wrong reason abs light on.check brake fluid.when replace front brakes you have make sure mastercylinder reservoir corver on then pump brake pedal seat brake shoes against rotor then check brake fluid level.

It will cause the breaks to not work at all u would have to flush the hole break system out by usein break fluid an bleeding them out till nothing but break fluid comes out I hope this helps buddy

Check your brake fluid level. Low fluid levels will cause the brake light to come on. If the fluid is not low, there could be a problem with the emergency brake light switch or the brake fluid level sensor.

The brake fluid goes in the brake master cylinder. (Fluid Reservoir)

There are pictures on pages 197 and 198 in the Owner's Manual (depending on which engine you have) they will show you exactly where this reservoir is located.

Also note that you should NEVER have to add brake fluid to your car. If the fluid level is low, then there is a leak in the system that MUST be diagnosed and repaired IMMEDIATELY! Failure to immediately repair a fluid leak in a brake hydraulic system can lead to serious personal injury, property damage, or DEATH!

What Else Could Be Wrong?

YOU NEED TO REMOVE 2/3 BRAKE FLUID FROM THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR.YOU WILL NEED A LARGE C- CLAMP TO BOTTOM THE PISTON INTO THE CALIPER BORE USING A OLD BRAKE PAD OR WOODEN BLOCK ACROSS THE FACE OF THE PISTON.DONT DAMAGE THE PISTON OR THE CALIPER BOOT.WARNING WHEN FINISHING PUTTING ON NEW FRONT BRAKE SHOES.PUT COVER ON BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR MAKE SURE BRAKE FLUID NOT LOW.PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL UNTIL BRAKES FEEL FIRM THEN CHECK BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AGAIN ADD MORE FLUID IF NEEDED UNTIL LEVEL CORRECT.YOU ARE DONE. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SOLID FIRM BRAKES BEFORE DRIVING.YOU WILL NEED THREADLOCKER GM P/N 12345493 ON THE CALIPER BOLTS OR EQUIVALENT THE AUTO PARTS STORE WILL HAVE THREADLOCKER.

You never put brake fluid in the engine, brake fluid only goes in the brake master cylinder, which is on the drivers side under the hood, close to the fire wall, will have a small resivor.

Standard brake fluid from the parts store shelf...they are all the same (hydralic fluid)..just don't spill any on your paint...it will eat it right off.

The grinding noise probably means you need to put new brakes on. If you fill the brake fluid reservoir, and then change the brakes, the new fluid will run out anyways, because the new brakes will have to be put in, and the fluid will run out.
