2. AIR TIGHTNESS CHECK
Start engine, and run it for 1 to 2 minutes, then turn it off.
Depress brake pedal several times applying the same
pedal force as that used in ordinary braking operations.
The pedal stroke should be greatest on the 1st depression,
and it should become smaller with each successive
depression. If no change occurs in the pedal height while
in a depressed state, brake booster is faulty.
NOTE:

In the event of defective operation, inspect the condition
of the check valve and vacuum hose.

Replace them if faulty and conduct the test again.

If no improvement is observed, check precisely with
gauges.
G4M0914
3. OPERATION CHECK
1) With engine off, depress brake pedal several times
applying the same pedal force and make sure that the
pedal height does not vary with each depression of the
pedal.
2) With brake pedal depressed, start engine.
3) As engine starts, brake pedal should move slightly
toward the floor. If no change occurs in the pedal height,
brake booster is faulty.
NOTE:
If faulty, check precisely with gauges.
4. LOADED AIR TIGHTNESS CHECK
Depress brake pedal while engine is running, and turn off
engine while the pedal is still depressed. Keep the pedal
depressed for 30 seconds; if no change occurs in the pedal
height, brake booster is functioning normally; if the pedal
height increases, it is faulty.
NOTE:
If faulty, check precisely with gauges.

B: POINTS TO CHECK
1) Check striker for bending or abnormal wear.
2) Check safety lever for improper movement.
3) Check other levers and spring for rust formation and
unsmooth movement.
G5M0141
C: INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
With buffer protruding about 18 mm (0.71 in) beyond
radiator panel, make sure that:

No clearance exists between buffer and inner hood.

Hood main lock is applied when hood is released at
a height of approximately 10 cm (3.94 in) above the
closed position.
G5M0142
NOTE:

Align the center of striker with lock during installation.
Make sure safety lever is properly caught by striker under
the hood’s own weight.

Route hood lock release cable and hold with clips.

After installing release cable, ensure it operates
smoothly.

Apply grease to sliding surfaces of parts.
B5M0268A
D: ADJUSTMENT
1) Fore-aft and left-right adjustments
Loosen striker mounting bolts and adjust fore-and-aft posi-
tion of striker.
CAUTION:
Do not adjust striker position using the lock. Doing so
may result in a misaligned front grille.
2) Up-down adjustment
Make up-and-down adjustment of striker only when hood
does not properly contact buffer or hood is not flush with
fender, or when release cable does not properly operate.
Adjustment can be made by adjusting the stroke length of
striker after lock assembly mounting screws are removed.

ASSEMBLY AND ROOF PANEL
1) Remove guide rail cover.
2) Loosen nuts and adjust height by adding (Max: two
pieces) and extracting (Max: one piece) shim(s) (Standard:
one piece) between glass lid assembly and lid bracket.
Difference in height between glass lid assembly and
roof panel:
0±0.5 mm (0±0.020 in)

3. CHECKING FOR MOVEMENT OF GLASS LID
ASSEMBLY ITSELF
1) Before installing sunroof motor, check glass lid assem-
bly for movement.
2) Place a cloth on glass lid assembly and sun shade, and
attach a spring scale to glass lid assembly edge using the
cloth.
3) Pull spring scale to measure force required to move
glass lid assembly.
Force required to move glass lid assembly and sun
shade trim:
Less than 196 N (20 kg, 44 lb)
Considerable effort is required to start glass lid assembly
moving, so take scale reading while glass lid assembly is
moving smoothly.
4) If force required exceeds specifications, check the fol-
lowing points:

Glass lid assembly, sun shade and deflector and guide
rail assembly for improper installation

Cable for seizure
