Checking Brake Fluid Level
+Check ¯uid level in reservoir tank. It should be between Max
and Min lines on reservoir tank.
+ If ¯uid level is extremely low, check brake system for leaks.
+ If the brake warning lamp comes on, check brake ¯uid level
switch and parking brake switch.
Checking Brake Line
CAUTION:
If leakage occurs around joints, retighten or, if necessary,
replace damaged parts.
1. Check brake lines (tubes and hoses) for cracks, deterioration
or other damage. Replace any damaged parts.
2. Check for oil leakage by fully depressing brake pedal while engine is running.
Changing Brake Fluid
CAUTION:
+Re®ll with new brake ¯uid ``DOT 3''.
+ Always keep ¯uid level higher than minimum line on res-
ervoir tank.
+ Never reuse drained brake ¯uid.
+ Be careful not to splash brake ¯uid on painted areas; it
may cause paint damage. If brake ¯uid is splashed on
painted areas, wash it away with water immediately.
1. Clean inside of reservoir tank, and re®ll with new brake ¯uid.
2. Connect a vinyl tube to each air bleeder valve.
3. Drain brake ¯uid from each air bleeder valve by depressing brake pedal.
4. Re®ll until brake ¯uid comes out of each air bleeder valve. Use same procedure as in bleeding hydraulic system to re®ll
brake ¯uid. Refer to ``Bleeding Brake System'', BR-4.

CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT
BR-3

1. Ensure vehicle is unladen condition*.* Fuel, radiator coolant and engine oil full. Spare tire, jack,hand tools and mats in designated positions.
2. Have a driver sit in the driver's seat and one person sit on the rear end. Then have the person on the rear end slowly get off
the vehicle. This is necessary to stabilize suspension de¯ec-
tion.
3. Gradually depress brake pedal and attach a lever to the stop- per bolt, then adjust length ``L'' as follows:Length ``L'': Approx. 175.2 - 178.2 mm (6.90 - 7.02 in)
4. Remove front LH tire.
5. Connect tool to air bleeders on front LH brake caliper and rear LH or RH brake wheel cylinder.
6. Install front LH tire.
Before installing front LH tire, con®rm the tool is not touching
the front LH wheel.
7. Bleed air from Tool.
8. Raise front brake pressure to 4,904 kPa (49.0 bar, 50 kg/cm
2,
711 psi) and 9,807 kPa (98.1 bar, 100 kg/cm2, 1,422 psi) and
check rear brake pressure. Rear brake pressure: Refer to table on next page.

Removal and Installation
Inspection
Check brake pedal for following items.
+Brake pedal bend
+ Clevis pin deformation
+ Crack of any welded portion
+ Crack or deformation of clevis pin stopper
Adjustment
Check brake pedal free height from dash lower panel.
H: Free height Refer to SDS (BR-72).
D: Depressed height Refer to SDS (BR-72).

1. Loosen lock nut and adjust pedal free height by turning brakebooster input rod. Then tighten lock nut.
Make sure that tip of input rod stays inside.
2. Adjust clearance ``C
1'' and ``C2'' with stop lamp switch and
ASCD switch respectively. Then tighten lock nuts.
3. Check pedal free play.
Make sure that stop lamp is off when pedal is released.
4. Check brake pedal's depressed height while engine is running. If depressed height is below speci®ed value, check brake sys-
tem for leaks, accumulation of air or any damage to compo-
nents (master cylinder, wheel cylinder, etc.). Then make nec-
essary repairs.

Brake Booster
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
Operating check
+Depress brake pedal several times with engine off. After
exhausting vacuum, make sure there is no change in pedal
stroke.
+ Depress brake pedal, then start engine. If pedal goes down
slightly, operation is normal.
Airtight check
+Start engine, and stop it after one or two minutes. Depress
brake pedal several times slowly. Booster is airtight if pedal
stroke is less each time.
+ Depress brake pedal while engine is running, and stop engine
with pedal depressed. The pedal stroke should not change after
holding pedal down for 30 seconds.
REMOVAL
CAUTION:
+Be careful not to splash brake ¯uid on painted areas; it
may cause paint damage. If brake ¯uid is splashed on
painted areas, wash it away with water immediately.
+ Be careful not to deform or bend brake pipes, during
removal of booster.
INSPECTION
Output rod length check
1. Apply vacuum of þ66.7 kPa (þ500 mmHg, þ19.69 inHg) to
brake booster with a hand vacuum pump.
2. Check output rod length. Speci®ed length:10.275 - 10.525 mm (0.4045 - 0.4144 in)
INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
+Be careful not to deform or bend brake pipes during instal-
lation of booster.
+ Replace clevis pin if damaged.
+ Re®ll with new brake ¯uid ``DOT 3''.
+ Never reuse drained brake ¯uid.
+ Take care not to damage brake booster mounting bolt
thread when installing. Due to the narrow angle of
installation, the threads can be damaged by the dash
panel.

Purpose
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) consists of electronic and hydraulic components. It allows for control of
braking force so locking of the wheels can be avoided.
The ABS:
1) Improves proper tracking performance through steering wheel operation.
2) Eases obstacle avoidance through steering wheel operation.
3) Improves vehicle stability.
Operation
+When the vehicle speed is less than 10 km/h (6 MPH) this system does not work.
+ The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) has a self-test function. The system turns on the ABS warning lamp
for 1 second each time the ignition switch is turned ``ON''. After the engine is started, the ABS warning
lamp turns off. The system performs a test the ®rst time the vehicle reaches 6 km/h (4 MPH). A mechani-
cal noise may be heard as the ABS performs this self-test. This is a normal part of the self-test feature. If
a malfunction is found during this check, the ABS warning lamp will stay on.
+ While driving, a mechanical noise may be heard during ABS operation. This is a normal condition.
+ While DIFF-LOCK is on, the anti-lock brake warning light ¯ashes. This indicates that anti-lock may not be
fully operated. (ABS only)
