CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT

BRAKE PEDAL CHECK AND ADJUSTMEN

1. CHECK THAT PEDAL HEIGHT IS CORRECT

Pedal height from asphalt sheet:

147.5–157.5 mm (5.81–6.20 fn.)

If the pedal height is incorrect, adjust it.

2. IF NECESSARY, ADJUST PEDAL HEIGHT

(a) Disconnect the connector from the stop light switch.

(b) Loosen the stop light switch lock nut and remove the

stop light switch.

(d) Adjust the pedal height by turning the pedal push rod.

(e) Tighten the push rod lock nut.

Torque: 25 N–m (260 kgf–cm, 19 ft–lbf)

(f) Install the stop light switch and turn it until it lightly

contacts the pedal stopper.

(g) Turn the stop light switch back one turn.

(h) Check the clearance (A) between stop light switch and

0.5–2.4 mm (0.02–0.09 in.)

(i) Tighten the stop light switch lock nut.

(j) Connect the connector to the stop light switch.

(k) Check that the stop lights come on when the brake

pedal is depressed, and go off when the brake pedal is

(l) After adjusting the pedal height, check that pedal

HINT: If clearance (A) between the stop light switch

and the brake pedal stopper has been adjusted cor–

rectly, the pedal freeplay will meet the specifications.

3. CHECK THAT PEDAL FREEPLAY IS CORRECT

(a) Stop the engine and depress the brake pedal several

times until there is no more vacuum left in the boost–

(b) Push in the pedal by hand until the beginning of the

resistance is felt, then measure the distance.

Pedal freeplay:

1–6 mm (0.04–0.24 in.)

HINT: The freeplay to the 1st point of resistance is

due to the play between the clevis and pin. It is 1–3

mm (0.04–0.12 in.) on the pedal.

If incorrect, check the stop light switch clearance.

And if the clearance is OK, then troubleshoot the

brake system.
