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.)
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.
Pedal reserve distance from asphalt sheet at 490 N
(50 kgf, 110.2 lbf):
w/o ABS: More than 60 mm (2.36 in.)
w/ ABS: More than 55 mm (2.17 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 reserve
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 the 1st time, but gradually rises
after 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.
