2) Connect brake pipes to PHV.
Tightening torque:
15
+3
2N⋅m (1.5+0.3
0.2kg-m, 10.8+2.2
1.4ft-lb)
CAUTION:
Confirm that brake pipes are not deformed and/or dam-
aged. Replace them with new ones if necessary.
3) Install PHV cable to PHV stay.
CAUTION:
If cable clamp (and clips) is damaged, replace it with a
new one.
4) Connect PHV cable with clips.
NOTE:
Avoid sharp bending of PHV cable as it may cause break-
age.
5) Install PHV cable onto cable bracket on engine.
6) Apply grease to the following points.

Hook portion of return spring

Cable end portion of lever
Grease:
SUNLIGHT 2 (Part No. 003602010)
7) Be sure to bleed air from the system.
CAUTION:
After replacing PHV cable or clutch cable with new
one, operate clutch pedal about 30 times as a run-
ning-in operation prior to adjustment.
D: ADJUSTMENTS
Confirm stopping and starting performances by activating
hill holder on an uphill road of 3°or higher inclination.
(1) If vehicle does not stop;
Tighten adjusting nut of PHV cable.
(2) If vehicle does not start properly;

Case A—When hill holder is released later than
engagement of clutch pedal (Engine tends to stall.):
Loosen adjusting nut gradually until smooth starting
is enabled.

Case B—When hill holder is released earlier than
engagement of clutch pedal (Vehicle slips down
slightly.):
Tighten adjusting nut so that hill holder is released
later than engagement of clutch pedal (status in Case
A). Then make adjustment the same as in Case A.

2. CHECKING THE HYDRAULIC UNIT OPERATION BY
PRESSURE GAUGE
1) Remove the FL and FR pipes from the hydraulic unit.
G4M0460
2) Connect two pressure gauges to the hydraulic unit.
CAUTION:

Pressure gauges used exclusively for brake fluid
must be used.

Do not employ pressure gauge previously used for
transmission since the piston seal is expanded which
may lead to malfunction of the brake.
3) Bleed air from the pressure gauges.
4) Perform sequence control.
B4M0082A
(1) Connect diagnosis terminals to 3 terminals (K) and
6 terminals (L) of the diagnosis connector beside driver
seat heater unit.
(2) Turn ignition switch ON.
(3) The ABS warning light comes on.
(4) Depress the brake pedal within 0.5 seconds after
the warning light goes out so that the pressure gauge
registers a pressure equal to the initial value.
CAUTION:
Do not depress the clutch pedal.
NOTE:
The engine must not be operating.

Rear left wheel 686 N (70 kg, 154 lb) 686 N (70 kg, 154 lb) 686 N (70 kg, 154 lb)
8) After checking, also check if any irregular brake pedal
tightness is felt.
9) In case of AWD vehicles, remove the spare fuse from
the FWD connector in the engine compartment to return to
the original AWD state.
C: SEQUENCE CONTROL
Under the sequence control, after the hydraulic unit sole-
noid valve is driven, the operation of the hydraulic unit can
be checked by means of the brake tester or pressure
gauge.
B4M0082A
1. OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES OF THE SEQUENCE
CONTROL
1) Connect diagnosis terminals to 3 terminals (K) and 6
terminals (L) of the diagnosis connector beside driver seat
heater unit.
2) Set the speed of all wheels at 4 km/h (2 MPH) or less.
3) Within 0.5 seconds after the ABS warning lamp goes
out, immediately after the ignition switch is turned to on,
depress the brake pedal and hold.
CAUTION:
Do not depress the clutch pedal.
NOTE:

When the ignition switch is set to on, the brake pedal
must not be depressed.

Engine must not operate.

2. Hill Holder
Trouble and possible cause Corrective action
1. Counterforce of clutch pedal is too strong.
(1) PHV cable is damaged or does not operate properly. Repair or replace.
(2) Lever of PHV is defective. Replace entire PHV assembly.
(3) Clutch system is anomalous. Refer to“Clutch and pedal cable system”.
2. Vehicle does not stop on uphill road of 3°or higher inclination.
(1) Front side of vehicle is lowered. Refer to“Suspension”.
(2) PHV cable is broken. Replace.
(3) Play of clutch is excessive. Adjust.
(4) PHV cable is elongated. Adjust.
(5) Sealing of PHV is poor. Replace entire PHV assembly.
3. Shock is felt when starting.
(1) Poor adjustment of starting performance: Adjust.
(2) When depressing the brake pedal strongly:(The stronger brake pedal depressing force, the later hill holder
releases.)
(3) When starting on flat road after stopping reverse movement: (Because hill holder is activated.)
4. Vehicle slips down when starting.
(1) PHV cable is elongated. Adjust.
(2) Clutch facing is worn out. Adjust or replace.
(3) Bracket (cable) or stay (PHV) is deformed. Repair or replace.
5. Vehicle cannot start after stoppage.
(1) Return spring is fatigued or broken. Replace.
(2) PHV lever won’t return. Replace entire PHV assembly.
(3) When intentionally depressing brake pedal strongly:[When the brake pedal is depressed by a force of 1,177 N (120
kg, 265 lb) or more.]
6. Abnormal sound is generated upon releasing brake pedal when stopping.
(1) Rotor and pad matched with each other due to inadequate
depressing force to brake pedal.(Abnormal sound is not generated when depressing brake pedal a
little stronger.)
7. Abnormal sound is generated when operating clutch pedal.
(1) Grease is inadequate for the hook of return spring and slid-
ing portion of PHV cable end.Apply grease.
(2) When releasing after maintaining high fluid pressure: (Flowing sound of fluid when releasing high fluid pressure.)
(3) Clutch system is anomalous. Refer to“Clutch and pedal cable system”.
CAUTION:

Description in parentheses is a characteristic of hill holder and does not indicate abnormality.
Depressing force required for clutch pedal equipped to hill holder specifications is 20 to 29 N (2 to 3 kg, 4 to 7 lb) larger than
the conventional specifications, which does not constitute abnormality.

When vehicle cannot travel (brake cannot be released) because return spring is broken, remove adjusting nut, disconnect
clutch and PHV, and then return PHV lever to release the brake. (Be sure to apply the parking brake before starting this opera-
tion.)

The hill holder may not be activated on a slope of an extremely small inclination.
