5. CHECKING WITH GAUGES
Connect gauges as shown in Figure. After bleeding air from
pressure gauges, proceed to each check.
G4M0746
6. AIR TIGHTNESS CHECK
1) Start engine and keep it running until a vacuum of 66.7
kPa (500 mmHg, 19.69 inHg) = point A is indicated on
vacuum gauge. Do not depress brake pedal.
2) Stop engine and watch the gauge. If the vacuum drop
range is less than 3.3 kPa (25 mmHg, 0.98 inHg) within 15
seconds after stopping engine, brake booster is functioning
properly.
If defective, the cause may be one of those listed below.

Check valve malfunction

Leak from vacuum hose

Leak from the shell jointed portion or stud bolt welded
portion

Damaged diaphragm

Leak from valve body seal and bearing portion

Leak from plate and seal assembly portion

Leak from poppet valve assembly portion
G4M0747
7. LOADED AIR TIGHTNESS CHECK
1) Start engine and depress brake pedal with pedal force
of 196 N (20 kg, 44 lb). Keep engine running until a vacuum
of 66.7 kPa (500 mmHg, 19.69 inHg) = point B is indicated
on vacuum gauge while the pedal is still depressed.
2) Stop engine and watch vacuum gauge.
If the vacuum drop range is less than 3.3 kPa (25 mmHg,
0.98 inHg) within 15 seconds after stopping engine, brake
booster is functioning properly.
If defective, refer to“AIR TIGHTNESS CHECK”described
above.

C: INSTALLATION
1) Install PHV onto side frame.
Tightening torque:
18±5 N⋅m (1.8±0.5 kg-m, 13.0±3.6 ft-lb)
2) Connect brake pipes to PHV.
Tightening torque:

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.

16) Check the pedal stroke.
While the engine is idling, depress the brake pedal with a
490 N (50 kg, 110 lb) load and measure the distance
between the brake pedal and steering wheel. With the
brake pedal released, measure the distance between the
pedal and steering wheel again. The difference between
the two measurements must be less than specified.
Specified pedal stroke:
With TCS
95 mm (3.74 in)
When depressing brake pedal with a 490 N (50 kg,
110 lb) load.
If the distance is more than specifications, there is a
possibility that air is in the brake line. Bleed air from the
brake line.
17) Turn ignition switch OFF.
18) Disconnect select monitor or diagnosis terminal.
19) Add brake fluid to the required level (MAX. level) of
reserve tank.
20) As a final step, test run the vehicle at low speed and
apply brakes relatively hard 2 to 3 times to ensure that
brakes provide normal braking action on all four wheels
without dragging and uneven braking.

3. CONDITIONS FOR COMPLETION OF AIR
BLEEDING CONTROL
When any of the following conditions occurs, ABS and TCS
warning lights illuminate. Air bleeding control stops, while
the ABS and TCS function will then stop. The brake sys-
tem functions as a conventional brake system.
1) When the speed of at least one wheel reaches 10 km/h
(6 MPH).
2) When terminal No. 4 is separated from diagnosis termi-
nal. (When select monitor is not used.)
3) When pump motor remains ON for two minutes.
4) When TCS valve remains open for two minutes.
5) When outlet valve remains closed for two minutes.
6) When malfunction is detected.
NOTE:
When a malfunction is detected the air bleeding operation
stops and the trouble codes are stored in memory.

C: AIR BLEEDING CONTROL WITH
DIAGNOSIS CONNECTOR
1) Connect diagnosis terminals to terminal No. 4 of the
diagnosis connector beside driver’s seat heater unit.
B4M0621A
2) Start the engine while pushing TCS OFF switch.
NOTE:
Keep the TCS OFF switch depressed even after the engine
has started.
3) After ABS and TCS warning lights go out, depress
brake pedal within 0.5 seconds.
4) After ensuring TCS ON indicator illuminates, release
TCS OFF switch and brake pedal.
5) Air bleeding control operation starts.

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.
