BRAKE PEDAL
ON−VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. CHECK PEDAL HEIGHT
Pedal height from asphalt sheet:
157.1 − 167.1 mm (6.185 − 6.579 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·m (260 kgf·cm, 19 ft·lbf)
(f) Install the stop light switch and turn it until it lightly con-
tacts with 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 (0.020 − 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) After adjusting the pedal height, check the pedal freeplay.
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 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 resistance begins to
be felt, then measure the distance, as shown.
Pedal freeplay: 1 − 6 mm (0.04 − 0.24 in.)

HINT:
The freeplay to the 1st point of resistance is due to the play be-
tween the clevis and pin. It is 1 − 3 mm (0.04 − 0.12 in.) on the
pedal.
If incorrect, check the stop light switch clearance. If the clear-
ance is OK, then troubleshoot the brake system.
4. CHECK PEDAL RESERVE DISTANCE
(a) Release the parking brake.
(b) With the engine running, depress the pedal and measure
the pedal reserve distance, as shown.
Pedal reserve distance from asphalt sheet at 490 N
(50 kgf, 110.2 lbf): More than 75 mm (2.95 in.)
If the reserve distance is incorrect, troubleshoot the brake sys-
tem.

BRAKE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY
ON−VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. OPERATING CHECK
(a) Depress the brake pedal several times with the engine
OFF and check that there is no change in the pedal re-
serve 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 farthest at the 1st time, but gradually
rises after at 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.

(c) Place the ”SHEET A” (SST) on the actuator checker.
SST 09990−00163
4. INSPECT BRAKE ACTUATOR OPERATION OF
FRONT RH WHEEL
(a) Start the engine, and run it at idle.
(b) Turn the selector switch of the actuator checker to
”FRONT RH” position.
(c) Push and hold in the MOTOR switch for a few seconds.
Make sure that you can hear the motor running.
(d) Depress the brake pedal and hold it for about 15 seconds,
and check that the brake pedal does not go down.
(e) With your foot still applying onto the brake pedal, push
MOTOR switch and check that the pedal does not pul-
sate.
(f) Depress the brake pedal and hold it. As you hold the ped-
al down, push and hold in the POWER SWITCH for a few
seconds. Check that the pedal does not go down.
NOTICE:
Do not keep the POWER SWITCH pushed for more than 10
seconds.
(g) With your foot still applying onto the brake pedal, release
the POWER SWITCH and check that the pedal goes
down.
(h) With your foot still applying onto the brake pedal, push the
MOTOR switch and check that the brake pedal returns.
(i) Release the brake pedal.
5. INSPECT FRONT LH WHEEL
(a) Turn the selector switch to ”REAR RH” position.
(b) Repeating (c) to (i) in the step 4, check the actuator oper-
ating similarly.
6. INSPECT REAR RH WHEEL
(a) Turn the selector switch to ”FRONT LH” position.
(b) Repeating (c) to (i) in the step 4, check the actuator opera-
tion similarly.

7. INSPECT REAR LH WHEEL
Repeating (c) to (i) in the step 4, check the actuator operation
similarly.
HINT:
When inspecting the ”REAR LH” position, push the REAR LH
switch instead of the POWER SWITCH. This makes it possible
to inspect wherever the selector switch position indicates.
8. PUSH MOTOR SWITCH
(a) Push and hold in the MOTOR switch for a few seconds.
(b) Stop the engine.
9. DISCONNECT ACTUATOR CHECKER (SST) FROM
ACTUATOR
Remove the ”SHEET A” (SST) and disconnect the actuator
checker (SST) and sub−wire harness (SST) from the actuator,
control relay and body side wire harness.
