Excessive Pedal Travel Inspection; Brake Fluid Level Inspection; Stop Light Switch Adjustment - Suzuki Swift Sport 2004 Service & Repair Manual

4A-8 Brake Control System and Diagnosis:

Excessive Pedal Travel Inspection

1) Start engine.
2) Depress brake pedal a few times.
3) With brake pedal depressed with approximately 300
N (30 kg, 66 lbs) load, measure brake pedal to wall
(dash panel silencer) clearance "a". If clearance "a"
is less than specification, the most possible cause is
air in lines. Should clearance "a" remain less than
specification even after bleeding of system, other
possible infrequent cause is booster push rod length
out of adjustment.
• Bleed brake system. Refer to "Air Bleeding of
Brake System".
Brake arm pedal to wall clearance "a"
When pedal depressed at 300 N (30 kg, 66 lbs):
over 75 mm (2.95 in.)

Brake Fluid Level Inspection

1) Check master cylinder, reservoir and reservoir hose
(if equipped) for crack, damage and brake fluid
leakage. If any faulty condition exists, correct or
replace.
2) Check that brake fluid level is between MAX and
MIN marks on reservoir.
NOTE
S7RS0B4106003
Be sure to use particular brake fluid either as
indicated on reservoir cap of that vehicle or
recommended in owner's manual which
comes along with that vehicle. Use of any
other fluid is strictly prohibited.
Fluid level should be between MIN and MAX
lines marked on reservoir.
When brake warning lamp lights sometimes
during driving, replenish fluid to MAX level.
When fluid decreases quickly, inspect brake
system for leakage. Correct leaky points and
then refill to specified level.
CAUTION
!
Do not use shock absorber fluid or any other
fluid which contains mineral oil. Do not use a
container which has been used for mineral oil
or a container which is wet from water.
Mineral oil will cause swelling and distortion
of rubber parts in hydraulic brake system and
water mixed into brake fluid will lower fluid
boiling point. Keep all fluid containers
capped to prevent contamination.

Stop Light Switch Adjustment

Adjustment should be made as follows. Pull up brake
pedal toward you and while holding it there, adjust
switch position so that clearance between end of thread
and brake pedal is as specified. Then lock it by turning
clockwise.
Clearance between brake pedal and stop light switch
"a": 1.2 – 2.2 mm (0.05 – 0.08 in.)
