C
OK
P1. Remove TRAC ECU with connectors still con-
nected.
2. Turn ignition switch on.
Measure voltage between terminal NEO of TRAC ECU
and body ground for the engine conditions below.
Check and replace TRAC ECU or ECM.

CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT
BR0EC±07
BRAKE PEDAL CHECK AND
ADJUSTMENT
1. CHECK THAT PEDAL HEIGHT IS CORRECT
Pedal height from asphalt sheet:150.4±160.4 mm (5.92±6.31 in.)
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.
(c) Loosen the push rod lock nut.
(d) Adjust the pedal height by turning the pedal push rod.
(e) Tighten the push rod lock nut.
Torque: 25 N Vm (260 kgf Vcm, 19 ft Vlbf)
(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 pedal.
Clearance:
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 isdepressed, and go off when the brake pedal is released.
(l) After adjusting the pedal height, check the pedal free±play.
HINT: If clearance (A) between the stop light switch and the
brake pedal stopper has been adjusted correctly, the pedal
freeplay will meet the specifications.
3. CHECK THAT PEDAL FREEPLAY IS CORRECT, AS SHOWN
(a) Stop the engine and depress the brake pedal several times until there is no more vacuum left in the booster.
(b) Push in the pedal by hand until the beginning of the second point of resistance is felt, then measure the distance, as
shown.
Pedal freeplay:
1±6 mm (0.04±0.24 in.)
If incorrect, check the stop light switch clearance. And if the
clearance is OK, then troubleshoot the brake system.
HINT: The freeplay to the first 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.

4. CHECK THAT PEDAL RESERVE DISTANCE IS CORRECT,
AS SHOWN
Release the parking brake.
With the engine running, depress the pedal and measure the
pedal reserve distance, as shown.
Pedal reserve distance at 490 N (50 kgf, 110.2 lbf):
More than 89 mm (3.50 in.)
If the reserve distance is incorrect, troubleshoot the brake
system.
BRAKE BOOSTER OPERATIONAL TEST
BR03P±0B
1. OPERATING CHECK
(a) Depress the bake pedal several times with the engine off and
check that there is no change in the pedal reserve distance.
(b) Depress the brake pedal and start the engine. If the pedal goes down slightly, operation is normal.
2. AIR TIGHTNESS CHECK
(a) Start the engine and stop it after 1 or 2 minutes. Depress the brake pedal several times slowly. If the pedal goes down the
farthest the 1st time, but gradually rises after the 2nd or 3rd
time, the booster is air tight.
(b) Depress the brake pedal while the engine is running, and stop the engine with the pedal depressed. If there is no
change in the pedal reserve travel after holding the pedal for
30 seconds, the booster is air tight.
BRAKE SYSTEM BLEEDING
BR0ED±04
HINT: If any work is done on the brake system or if air in the
brake lines is suspected, bleed the system of air.
NOTICE: Do not let brake fluid remain on painted sur-
faces. Wash it off immediately.
1. REMOVE RESERVOIR CAP Turn the reservoir cap to the ªopenº side and remove it.
2. FILL RESERVOIR WITH BRAKE FLUID
Fluid: SAE J1703 or FMVSS NO.116DOT3

TRAC CONTROL SYSTEM BLEEDING
BR0EE±03
1. BLEED TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEMCAUTION:
w The fluid is under high pressure, and could spray out with
great force, so exercise caution.
w When repairing the brake master cylinder or TRAC
system, bleed the air out of the TRAC system.
(a) Connect a vinyl tube to the bleeder plug of accumulator, then
loosen the bleeder plug.
(b) Start the engine to allow the TRAC pump motor to operate
until all the air has been bled out of the fluid.
(c) Tighten the bleeder plug and stop the engine.
Torque: 8.3 N Vm (85 kgf Vcm, 74 in. Vlbf)
(d) C onnect a vinyl tube to the bleeder plug of the TRAC
actuator, then loosen the bleeder plug.
(e) Start the engine to allow the TRAC pump motor to operate
until all the air has been bled out of the fluid.
(f) Tighten the bleeder plug and stop the engine. Torque: 8.3 N Vm (85 kgf Vcm, 74 in. Vlbf)
(g) Check if any diagnostic trouble code is output which indicates
trouble. If there is, clear the diagnostic trouble code.
2. CHECK FLUID LEVEL IN RESERVOIR Check the fluid level and add fluid if necessary.
Fluid:
SAE J1703 or FMVSS NO. 116DOT3
HINT: Add fluid with the engine idling.

4. INSPECT BRAKE ACTUATOR OPERATION
(a) Start the engine, and run it at idle speed.
(b) Turn the MAIN selector switch of the actuator checker to theªFRONT RHº position.
(c) Push and hold in the SUB MOTOR switch for a few seconds.
(d) Depress the brake pedal and hold it until step (g) is completed.
(e) Push the MAIN push switch and check that the brake pedal can not be depressed.
NOTICE: Do not keep the MAIN push switch pushing more
than 10 seconds.
(f) Re le a se th e switch , an d ch e ck th a t th e p edal can be
depressed.
(g) Push and hold in the SUB MOTOR switch for a few seconds, and check that the pedal returns.
(h) Release the brake pedal.
(i) Push and hold in the SUB MOTOR switch for a few seconds.
(j) Depress the brake pedal and hold it for about 15 seconds. As
you hold the pedal down, push the SUB MOTOR switch for
a few seconds. Check that the brake pedal does not pulsate.
5. INSPECT FOR OTHER WHEELS
(a) Turn the MAIN selector switch to the ªFRONT LHº position.
(b) Repeat (c) to (j) of step 4, checking the actuator operation in the same way.
(c) Also, inspect the ªREARº positions following the same procedure.
