Excessive Pedal Travel Check; Front Brake Disc Check; Front Brake Pad Check - Suzuki Jimny Service Manual

Excessive Pedal Travel Check

1) Start engine.
2) Depress brake pedal a few times.
3) With brake pedal depressed with approximately 30 kg (66
Ibs) load, measure brake pedal to wall clearance "d" or "e".
Clearance "d" or "e" between brake pedal and wall
LH steering vehicle clearance "d" : Over 55 mm (2.17 in.)
RH steering vehicle clearance "e" : Over 76 mm (2.99 in.)
4) If clearance "d" or "e" is less than specification, the most pos-
sible cause is either rear brake shoes are worn out beyond
limit or air is in lines.
Should clearance "d" or "e" remain 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
"Rear Brake" in this section. If defective, correct or replace.

schedule whenever wheels are removed (for tire rotation or other
reason). Take a look through each end (or hole) of caliper and
check lining thickness of outside and inside pads. If lining is worn
and its thickness ("a" in figure) is less than limit, all pads must be
replaced at the same time.
