Actuator
INSPECTION OF ACTUATOR
1. INSPECT CONTROL CABLE FREEPLAY
Measure the cable stroke to where the throttle valve be-
gins to open.
Standard: Approx. within 10 mm (0.39 in.) with a slight
amount of freeplay.
If freeplay is not as specified, adjust the control cable
freeplay.
2. INSPECT ACTUATOR RESISTANCE
Measure the resistance value between terminals as fol-
lows.
Resistance: 2 ± 3 approx. 30
1 ± 3 approx. 68
If the resistance value is not as specified, replace the ac-
tuator.
3. INSPECT ACTUATOR OPERATION
(a) Connect the positive (+) lead from battery to termi-
nals 1, 2 and the negative H lead to terminal 3.
(b) Slowly apply vacuum from 0 300 mmHg (0 ±11.81
in.Hg, 0 ± 40.0 kPa), and check that the control cable
can be pulled smoothly.
(c) Disconnect terminal 1 or 2, check that the control
cable returns to its original position and the vacuum
returns to 0 mmHg (0 in.Hg, 0 kPa).
If operation is not as specified, replace the actuator.

Vacuum Switch
INSPECTION OF SWITCH
INSPECT SWITCH OPERATION (w/ A.B.S.)
(a) Check that there is no continuity b¿¿ween terminal
and body with a vacuum of 170
+10 mmHg (6.69 t
0.39 in.Hg, 22.7
+1.3 kPa) or above.
(b) Check that there is continuity between terminal and
body with no vacuum.
If operation is not as specified, replace the switch.
INSPECT SWITCH OPER¿¿ION (w/o A.B.S.)
(a) Check that there is no continuity between terminals
with a vacuum of 170
+10 mmHg (6.69 +0.39 in.Hg,
22.7
+1.3 kPa) or above.
(b) Check that there is continuity between terminals with
no vacuum.
If operation is not as specified, replace the switch.
Vacuum Pump
INSPECTION OF PUMP
INSPECT VACUUM PUMP OPERATION
(a) Connect a vacuum gauge to the ACT side of the
pump.
(b) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to
terminal 1 and the negative (±) lead to terminal 2.
(e) Check that there is the vacuum of 200 mmHg (7.87
in±Hg, 26.7 kPa) or above.
If operation is not as specified, replace the pump.

PRECAUTIONS
1. Care must be taken to replace each part properly as it
could affect the performance of the brake system and re-
sult in a driving hazard. Replace the parts with parts of the
same part number or equivalent.
2. It is very important to keep parts and the area clean when
repairing the brake system.

Note: Brake friction
materials inherently
generate noise and heat in
order to dissipate eniergy.
As a result, occasional
squeal is normal and is
aggravated by severe
environmental conditions
such as cold,' heat,
wetness, snow, salt, mud,
etc. This occasional squeal
is not a functional problem
