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.

5) Perform these steps for the brakes connecting to the
secondary chamber of master cylinder, first, and then for
the ones connecting to primary chamber. With all proce-
dures completed, fully depress the brake pedal and keep
it in that position for approximately 20 seconds to make
sure that there is no leak evident in the entire system.
G4M0436
6) Perform sequence control. (With ABS model) 4-4 [W15C1].>
7) 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 more than specified.
Specified pedal stroke:
Without ABS
90 mm (3.54 in)
With ABS
95 mm (3.74 in)
When depressing brake pedal with a 490 N (50 kg,
110 lb) load.
(1) Models without ABS
If the distance is more than specifications, there is a
possibility that air is in the brake line. Bleed air from the
brake line.
(2) Models with ABS
If the distance is more than specifications, there is a
possibility air is in the inside of the hydraulic unit.
Therefore, air must be bled from the inside of the
hydraulic unit to the brake pipes in accordance with the
bleeding sequence control.
8) Add brake fluid to the required level (MAX. level) of
reserve tank.
9) 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.

5) Install one end of a vinyl tube onto the air bleeder of and
insert the other end of the tube into a container to collect
the brake fluid.
6) Instruct your co-worker to depress the brake pedal
slowly two or three times and then hold it depressed.
7) Loosen bleeder screw approximately 1/4 turn until a
small amount of brake fluid drains into container, and then
quickly tighten screw.
8) Repeat steps 6) and 7) above until there are no air
bubbles in drained brake fluid and new fluid flows through
vinyl tube.
CAUTION:
Add brake fluid as necessary while performing the air
bleed operation, in order to prevent the tank from run-
ning short of brake fluid.
9) After completing the bleeding operation, hold brake
pedal depressed and tighten screw and install bleeder cap.
Tightening torque (Bleeder screw):
8±1 N⋅m (0.8±0.1 kg-m, 5.8±0.7 ft-lb)
10) Bleed air from each wheel cylinder using the same
procedures as described in steps 6) through 7) above.
11) Depress brake pedal with a force of approximately 294
N (30 kg, 66 lb) and hold it there for approximately 20 sec-
onds. At this time check pedal to see if it shows any
unusual movement.
Visually inspect bleeder screws and brake pipe joints to
make sure that there is no fluid leakage.
12) Install wheels, and drive vehicle for a short distance
between 2 to 3 km (1 to 2 miles) to make sure that brakes
are operating properly.

A: INSPECTION
1) Install the oil pressure gauges to measure the master
cylinder fluid pressure (front wheel brake fluid pressure)
and rear wheel cylinder fluid pressure.
2) Bleed air from the oil pressure gauges.
3) Check the master cylinder fluid pressure and rear wheel
cylinder fluid pressure.
The standard values are shown in Figure.
4) For the oil pressure in case of split point, refer to A:
SPECIFICATIONS 4-4 [S1A0].
B: REMOVAL
1) Remove brake pipe from proportioning valve at four
places.
2) Remove proportioning valve from its bracket.
CAUTION:
Do not disassemble or adjust the proportioning valve.
(The proportioning valve must be replaced as an
assembly.)
C: INSTALLATION
1) Install proportioning valve to bracket.
2) Connect brake pipes correctly to proportioning valve.
3) Bleed air, then check each joint of brake pipe for oil
leaks.

5) Place a thickness gauge between ABS sensor’s pole
piece and tone wheel’s tooth face. After standard clearance
is obtained over the entire perimeter, tighten ABS sensor
on housing to specified torque.
ABS sensor standard clearance:
0.9—1.4 mm (0.035—0.055 in)
Tightening torque:
32±10 N⋅m (3.3±1.0 kg-m, 24±7 ft-lb)
CAUTION:
Check the marks on the harness to make sure that no
distortion exists. (RH: white, LH: yellow)
NOTE:
If the clearance is outside specifications, readjust.
2. REAR ABS SENSOR
1) Install rear tone wheel on hub, then rear housing on
hub.
