1999 SUBARU LEGACY flat tire

Trouble and possible cause Corrective action
In the case of the disc brake:
(1) Excessively worn pad or the support Replace the pad or the support.
In the case of the drum brake:
(1) Excessively worn shoe ridge Replace the back plate.
(2) Lack of oil on the shoe ridge surface and anchor Add more grease.
2. Hill Holder
CAUTION:
IDescription in parentheses is a characteris-
tic of hill holder and does not indicate abnor-
mality.
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 con-
ventional specifications, which does not con-
stitute abnormality.IWhen 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 operation.)
IThe hill holder may not be activated on a
slope of an extremely small inclination.
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 ªClutch and pedal cable systemº.
2. Vehicle does not stop on uphill road of 3É or higher inclination.
(1) Front side of vehicle is lowered. Refer to ªSuspensionº.
(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 move-
ment:(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
sliding 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 ªClutch and pedal cable systemº.
