BRAKE FLUID
BLEEDING
HINT:
If any work is done on the brake system or if air is suspected in
the brake lines, bleed the system of air.
NOTICE:
Do not let brake fluid remain on a painted surface. Wash it
off immediately.
1. FILL BRAKE RESERVOIR WITH BRAKE FLUID
Check the fluid level in the reservoir after bleeding each wheel.
Add fluid, if necessary. Fluid: SAE J1703 or FMVSS No.116 DOT3
2. BLEED MASTER CYLINDER
HINT:
If the master cylinder has been disassembled or if the reservoir
becomes empty, bleed the air from the master cylinder.
(a) Disconnect the brake lines from the master cylinder.
(b) Slowly depress the brake pedal and hold it.
(c) Block off the outlet plugs with your fingers, and release the brake pedal.
(d) Repeat (b) and (c) 3 or 4 times.
3. CONNECT VINYL TUBE TO BRA KE CALIPER BLEED-
ER PLUG
Insert other end of the tube in a half −full container of brake fluid.
NOTICE:
Begin bleeding air from the brake caliper with the longest
hydraulic line.
4. BLEED BRAKE LINE
(a) Slowly depress the brake pedal several times.

(b) While an assistant depresses the pedal, loosen the
bleeder plug until fluid starts to run out. Then tighten the
bleeder plug.
(c) Repeat this procedure until there are no more air bubbles
in the fluid.
Bleeder plug tightening torque:
11 N·m (110 kgf·cm, 8 ft·lbf)

BRAKE PEDAL
ON−VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. CHECK PEDAL HEIGHT
Pedal height from dash panel:
167.5 − 177.5 mm (6.594 − 6.988 in.)
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·m (260 kgf·cm, 19 ft·lbf)
(f) Install the stop light switch and turn it until it lightly con-
tacts the pedal stopper.
(g) Turn the stop light switch back one turn.
(h) Check the clearance (A) between the stop light switch and pedal.
Clearance: 0.5 − 2.4 mm (0.020 − 0.094 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
is depressed, and go off when the brake pedal is re-
leased.
(l) earance (A) between the stop light switch and the pedal
stopper has been adjusted correctly, the pedal freeplay
will meet the specifications.
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 se- cond resistance is felt. Measure the distance.
Pedal freeplay: 3 − 6 mm (0.12 − 0.24 in.)
HINT:
The freeplay to the 1st resistance is due to the play between the
clevis and pin. This is magnified up to 3 − 6 mm (0.12 − 0.24 in.)
at the pedal.

If incorrect, check the stop light switch clearance.
If the clearance is OK, then troubleshoot the brake system.
4. CHECK PEDAL RESERVE DISTANCE
Release the parking brake.
With the engine running, depress the pedal and measure
the pedal reserve distance, as shown.
Pedal reserve distance, ’a’, at 490 N (50 kgf, 110.2lbf):
More than 68 mm (2.68 in.)
If the reserve distance incorrect, troubleshoot the brake sys-
tem.

PARKING BRAKE LEVER
ON−VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. CHECK THAT PARKING BRAKE LEVER TRAVEL IS
CORRECT
Pull the parking brake lever all the way up, and count the num-
ber of clicks.
Parking brake lever travel at 196 N (20 kgf, 44.1 lbf):
7 − 9 clicks
If incorrect, adjust the parking brake.
2. IF NECESSARY, ADJUST PARKING BRAKE
HINT:
Before adjusting the parking brake, make sure that the rear
brake shoe clearance has been adjusted. For shoe clearance
adjustment (See page BR−42).
(a) Remove the rear console box.
(b) Loosen the lock nut and turn the adjusting nut until the le-
ver travel is correct.
(c) Tighten the lock nut.
