SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES
BRAKE PEDAL INSPECTION AND ADJUSTM&g
1.Measure the brake pedal height as illustrated. If the brake
pedal height is not within the standard value, adjust as
follows.
Standard value (A): 176181 mm (6.9-7.1 in.)(1) Disconnect the stop light switch connector, loosen the
lock nut, and move the stop light switch to a position
where it does not contact the brake pedal arm.
(2) Adjust the brake pedal height by turning the operating
rod with pliers (with the operating rod lock nut
loosened), until the correct brake pedal height is
obtained.(3) After screwing in the stop light switch until it contacts
the brake pedal stopper (just before the brake pedal is
caused to move), return the stop light switch
l/2 to 1turn and secure by tightening the lock nut.
(4) Connect the connector of the stop light switch.
(5) Check to be sure that the stop light is not illuminated
with the brake pedal unpressed.
Reference value (B): 0.5-1.0 mm
(.02-M in.)
2. With the engine stopped, depress the brake pedal two or
three times. After eliminating the vacuum in the power
brake booster, press the pedal down by hand, and confirmthat the amount of movement before resistance is met
(the free play) is within the standard value range.
Standard value
(C): 3-8 mm (.l-.3 in.)
If the free play is less than the standard value, confirm thatthe clearance between the stop light switch and brake
pedal is within the standard value.
If the free play exceeds the standard value, it is probably
due to excessive play between the
clevis pin and brake
pedal arm. Check for excessive clearance and replace
faulty parts as required.
3. Start the engine, depress the brake pedal with approxi-
mately 500 N (110 Ibs.) of force, and measure the clearancebetween the brake pedal and the floorboard.
Standard value (D): 80 mm (3.1 in.) or moreIf the clearance is less than the standard value, check for
air trapped in the brake line and for brake fluid leaks. If
necessary, check the brake system mechanism (excessiveshoe clearance due to faulty auto adjuster) and repair
faulty parts as required.

5-42BRAKES - Service Adjustment Procedures
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL SENSOR CHECKNO5FBAB(1) Connect a circuit tester to the brake fluid level sensor.
4(2) Move the float from top to bottom and check for
.-,’continuity.
(3) The brake fluid level sensor is in good condition if there is
no continuity when the float surface is above “A”, and if
there is continuity when the float
surface is below “A”.
PARKING BRAKE LEVER STROKE CHECK NWFEAJ
1.Pull the parking brake lever with a force of approx. 200 N(45
Ibs.), and count the number of notches.
Caution
The 200 N (45 Ibs.) force of the parking brake lever must
be strictly observed.
Standard value: 5-7 notches
2.If the parking brake lever stroke is not the standard value,
adjust as described below.
(1) Remove the carpet in the floor console.
(2) Loosen the adjusting nut to the end of the cable rod,
fithus freeing the parking brake cable.
(3) With the engine idling, firmly depress the brake pedal
five or six times and confirm that the pedal stroke stops
changing.
NOTEIf the pedal stroke stops changing, it indicates that the
automatic adjusting mechanism has functioned proper-ly to adjust the clearance between the pads and the
disc to the correct value.
(4) Check to be sure that the clearance between the
stopper and the parking brake lever at the caliper side isas shown in the figure.
NOTEIf the clearance between the parking brake lever and
the stopper exceeds 2 mm
(078 in.), the probable
causes are brake cable sticking, improper wiring, or a
malfunction of the automatic adjuster (within the rear
brake caliper), so it is necessary to check the parking
-brake cable and to disassemble and check the rear
-brake caliper.
(5) Turn the adjusting nut to adjust the parking brake lever
stroke to within the standard value range.

Caution
If the number of brake lever notches engaged is less
than the standard value, the cable has been pulledexcessively, and failure of the automatic adjuster
mechanism will result. Be sure tti adjust it to within the
standard value.(6) After making the adjustment, check to be sure that there is
no play between the adjusting nut and the pin. Also check
to be sure that the adjusting nut is securely held at the nut
holder.(7) After adjusting the lever stroke, jack up the rear of the
vehicle.(8) With the parking brake lever in the released position, turn
the rear wheel to confirm that the rear brakes are not
dragging.
PARKING BRAKE SWITCH CHECKN05FDAB
(1) Disconnect the connector of the parking brake switch, and
connect an ohmmeter to the parking brake switch and the
switch installation bolt.
(2) The parking brake switch is good if there is continuity whenthe parking brake lever is pulled and there is no continuity
when it is returned.
BRAKE BOOSTER OPERATING
lNSPECTIONNoSFcuFor simple checking of brake booster operation, carry out the
following tests.
(1) Run the engine for one or two minutes, and then stop it.
(2) Step on the brake pedal several times with normal
pressure.If the pedal depressed fully the first time. but gradually
becomes higher when depressed succeeding times, the
booster is operating properly.
If the pedal height remains unchanged, the booster is
faulty.(3) With the engine stopped, step on the brake pedal several
times with the same pressure to make sure that the pedal
height will not change.
Then step on the brake pedal and start the engine.
If the pedal moves downward slightly, the booster is in
good condition. If there is no change, the booster is faulty.
(4) With the engine running, step on the brake pedal and then
stop the engine.
Hold the pedal depressed for 30 seconds. If the pedal
height does not change, the booster is in good condition.
If the pedal rises, the booster is faulty.
If the above three tests are okay, the booster performance canbe determined as good.
If one of the above three tests is not okay at last, the check
valve, vacuum hose, or booster will be faulty.

BRAKES - Service Adiustment Procedures5-45I

BLEEDINGN65FYAN
When the master cylinder is empty of brake fluid, bleed air
from the master cylinder by proceeding with procedures (1)
thru (6). (Because this master cylinder is not equipped with a
check valve.)
When brake fluid remains in the master cylinder, proceed with
step (6).
(1) -Disconnect the brake tube from the master cylinder.
(2) Two persons should conduct the air bleeding, one person
slowly depressing the brake pedal and holding the pedal
depressed.(3) In this condition, the other person should use a finger to
close the outlet part of the master cylinder, and then the
first person should release the brake pedal.
(4) Steps (2) and (3) should be repeated three or four times,
and then the master cylinder should be filled with brake
fluid to the specified level.
NOTE
The air is completely bled from the master cylinder by steps
(1) to (4).
(5) Connect the brake tube to the master cylinder.
(6) Start the engine; then, in the sequence shown in the
illustration, bleed the air from each wheel cylinder.
Specified brake fluid: MOPAR Brake Fluid/
Conforming to DOT3
Caution
1.Use the specified brake fluid. Avoid using a mixture
of the specified brake fluid and other fluid.2. If brake fluid is exposed to the air, it will absorb
moisture; as water is absorbed from the atmos-phere, the boiling point of the brake fluid will
decrease and the braking performance will be
seriously impaired. For this reason, use a hermeti-
cally sealed 1 lit.
(1.06 qt.) or 0.5 lit. (0.52 qt.) brake
fluid container.3. Firmly close the cap of the brake fluid container
after use.
4. For vehicles with the anti-lock braking system, besure to install a filter to the master cylinder
reservoir tank when supplying brake fluid.
ORDINARY AIR-BLEEDING PROCEDURES(1) Depress the brake pedal several times until resistance is
felt; then, with the pedal depressed, loosen the bleeder
screw
l/3 to l/2 turn and then tighten it before the fluid
pressure is all gone.
(2) Release the brake pedal. Repeat this procedure until there
are no more air bubbles in the brake fluid.
