CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT
BRAKE PEDAL CHECK AND
ADJUSTMENT
1. CHECK THAT PEDAL HEIGHT IS CORRECT
Pedal height from dash panel:
154.2±164.2 mm (6.07±6.46 in.)
If the pedal height is incorrect, adjust it.
2. IF NECESSARY, ADJUST PEDAL HEIGHT
(a) Remove the lower instrument panel and finish panel.
(b) Disconnect the connector from the stop light switch.
(c) Loosen the stop light switch lock nut and remove the stop
light switch.
(d) Loosen the push rod lock nut.
(e) Adjust the pedal height by turning the pedal push rod.
(f) Tighten the push rod lock nut.
Torque: 25 NVm (260 kgfVcm, 19 ftVlbf)
(g) Install the stop light switch and turn it until it lightly contacts
the pedal stopper.
(h) Turn the stop light switch back one turn.
(i) Check the clearance (A) between stop light switch and pedal.
Clearance:
0.5±2.4 mm (0.02±0.09 in.)
(j) Tighten the stop light switch lock nut.
(k) Connect the connector to the stop light switch.
(l) Check that the stop lights come on when the brake pedal is
depressed, and go off when the brake pedal is released.
(m) 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.
(n) Install the lower instrument panel and finish panel.
3. CHECK PEDAL FREEPLAY
(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 1st 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. BR±6

FOR VEHICLES WITH DATA LINK
CONNECTOR 2 (DLC2)
The DLC2 is provided inside the cabin (located under the left
side instrument panel) as a connector exclusively for diagno-
sis of data from the Engine, Automatic Transmission, ABS,
A/C, Airbag, Traction Control and Cruise Control System to
improve serviceability. The DLC1 inside the engine compart-
ment is used for engine adjustment.
Connecting the following terminals of the DLC2 to terminal E
1
selects the diagnosis mode shown.
NOTICE: Never make a mistake with the terminal connection
position as this will cause a malfunction.
Terminal Diagnosis Mode (System)
TE1
Engine and automatic transmission (Normal
mode)
TE2 and TE1 Engine and automatic transmission (Test mode)
TC
ABS, A/C, Airbag, Traction Control and
Cruise Control System
TT Automatic transmission
Refer to the respective system for the inspection method.
HINT: By connecting the DLC2 up to a monitor specifically de-
signed for use with the DLC2, the diagnosis result for each
system can be read easily.
