(1) Turn up the carpet, etc. under the brake pedal.(2). Measure the brake
“height as illustrated.
Standard value (A): mm (6.9-7.1 in.)
(3). If the brake pedal height is’not within the st andard;
value, adjust as follows.
(a)Disconnect the stop switch connector, loosen
the lock nut, and move the stop light switch to
a position ‘where it does not contact the brake
pedal arm,.,
(b) Adjust the brake pedal height by
operating rod with pliers (with the operating rod
lock nut loosened), until the correct brake pedal
height is obtained.
(c) Screw in the stop
switch until it contacts
the brake, pedal- stopper (just before the brake
pedal is caused to move). Back off the stop light
switch
to turn and secure by tightening
the lock nut.
(d) Connect the

2. BRAKE PEDAL FREE PLAY (1) With the engine stopped, press the brake pedal two
or three times. After eliminating the vacuum in the
power brake booster, press the pedal down by hand,
and confirm that the amount of movement before
feeling resistance (the free play) is within the st andard
value range.
Standard value (B): 3-8 mm in.)
(2) If the free play exceeds the standard value, it is
probably due to excessive play between the
pin and brake pedal arm.
Check for excessive clearance and replace faulty pa rts
as required.
