5-10 BRAKES
Excessive Pedal Travel Check
1) Peel off carpet and start engine.
2) Depress brake pedal a few times.
3) With brake pedal depressed with approximately 300 N
(30kg, 66 lbs) load, measure pedal to silencer (1) clearance
"c".
4) If clearance "c" is less than specification, the most possible
cause is either rear brake shoes are worn out beyond limit or
air is in lines.
Should clearance "c" is remained less than specification
even after replacement of brake shoes and bleeding of sys-
tem, other possible but infrequent cause is malfunction of
rear brake shoe adjusters or booster push rod length out of
adjustment.
– Bleed brake system. Refer to "Air Bleeding of Brake Sys-
tem" in this section.
– Remove brake drums for adjuster inspection. (Refer to
"Brake Drum Removal and Installation (for 2WD Model)" in
Section 5C.) If defective, correct or replace.
Clearance between brake pedal and dash panel silencer
"c": Over 115 mm (4.53 in.) ··· Left-hand steering vehicle
"c": Over 88 mm (3.46 in.) ··· Right-hand steering vehicle
Brake Pedal Play Check
Pedal play should be within specification. If out of specification,
check brake light switch for proper installation position and adjust
if necessary.
Also check pedal shaft bolt and master cylinder pin installation for
looseness and replace if defective.
