1. Disconnect the brake switch connector, loosen thebrake switch locknut, and back oll the brake switchuntil it is no longer touching the brake pedal.
2. Turn up the jloor mat, and measure the pedal heightfrom the lett srde center of the pedal pad.

Screw in the brake switch until its plunger is fully
depressed (threaded end touching the pad on thepedal arm). Then back off the switch 1/4 turn tomake 0.3 mm (0.01 in) of clearance between thethreaded end and the pad. Tighten the locknut firm-ly. Connect the brake switch connector.
CAUTION: Make sure that the brake lights go oflwhen the pedal is released.
5. Check the brake pedal free play as described below.
Pedal Free Play
1. Stop the engine, and inspect the play on the pedal
pad by pushing the pedal by hand.
Free Play: 1 - 5 mm {l/16 - 3/16 in)
2. lf the pedal free play is out of specification, adjustthe brake switch. tf the pedal free play is insuffi_cient, it may result in brake drag.

CAUTION: Do not spill brake tluid on the vehicle; it may
damage the paint; if brake fluid does contact the paint,
wash it oft immediatoly with water.
l. Disconnect the brake fluid level switch connectors.
2. Remove the reservoir cap from the master cylinder.
3. Remove the brake fluid from the master cvlinder
reservoir with a syringe.
4. Disconnect the brake lines from the master cylinder.
Be careful not to bend or damage the brake lines
when removing the master cylinder.
5. Remove the master cylinder mounting nuts and
washers.
6. Remove the master cylinder from the brake booster.
To prevent spills, cover the line joints with rags or
shoD towels.
7. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the brake booster.
8. Remove the lock pin and clevis pin from the clevis.
Do not disconnect the clevis by removing it from
the operating rod of the brake booster. lf the clevis
is loosened, adjust the pushrod length before
installing the brake booster.

12, Install the brake booster and master cylinder in the
reverse order of removal and note these items:
. When connecting the brake lines, make sure that
there is no interference between the brake lines
and other parts.
. Be careful not to bend or damage the brake lines
when installing the master cylinder.
. lf replacing the master cylinder or brake booster,
check and adiust the DUshrod clearance before
installing the master cylinder (see page 19-14).
13. Fill the master cylinder reservoir, and bleed the
brake system (see page 19-7).'14. After installation, check the brake pedal height and
brake pedal free play and adjust if necessary (see
page 19-5).

NOTE: lf the clearance between the gauge body
and adjusting nut is 0.4 mm (0.02 in), the pushrod-
to-piston clearance is 0 mm. However, if the clear-
ance between the gauge body and adjusting nut is
0 mm, the pushrod-to-piston clearance is 0.4 mm(0.02 in) or more. Therefore it must be adjusted and
rechecked.
lf clearance is incorrect, loosen the star locknut and
turn the adjuster in or out to adjust.
NOTE:
. Adjust the clearance while the specified vacuum
is applied to the booster.
. Hold the clevis while adjusting.
Tighten the star Iocknut securely.

Brake Booster Inspection
Functions Tgst
1. With the engine stopped, depress the brake pedal
several times to deplete the vacuum reservoir, then
depress the pedal hard and hold it for 15 seconds. ll
the pedal sinks, either the master cylinder is
bypassing internally; or the brake system (master
cylinder, lines, modulator proportioning valve, orcaliper) are leaking.
Start the engine with the pedal depressed. lf thepedal sinks slightly, the vacuum booster is operat-
ing normally. lf the pedal height does not vary, the
booster or check valve is faulty.
With the engine running, depress the brake pedal
lightly. Apply just enough pressure to hold back
automatic transmission creep, lf the brake pedal
sinks more than 25 mm (1.0 in.) in three minutes,
the master cylinder is faulty. A slight change inpedal height when the A,,/C compressor cycles on
and off is normal. (The A/C compressor load
changes the vacuum available to the booster.)
Leak Test
1. Depress the brake pedal with the engine running,
then stop the engine. lf the pedal height does not
vary while depressed for 30 seconds, the vacuum
booster is OK. lf the pedal rises, the booster is
fau lty.
2. With the engine stopped, depress the brake pedal
several times using normal pressure. When thepedal is first depressed, it should be low. On con-
secutive applications, the pedal height should grad-
ually rise. lf the pedal position does not vary, check
the booster check valve.
Boostor Ch€ck Valve T6st
1. Disconnect the brake booster vacuum hose at the
booster,
Start the engine and let it idle. There should be vac-
uum available. It no vacuum is available. the check
valve is not working properly. Replace the brake
booster vacuum hose and check valve, and retest.
