BRAKE PEDAL FREE HEIGHT CHECK
Remove foot rest and displace carpet and dash silencer(s) so as to
measure brake pedal free height between pedal face and asphalt
sheet installed on dash panel.
Brake pedal free height ªaº from asphalt sheet:
208 ± 218 mm (8.19 ± 8.58 in.)
If the measurement is not within the specification, check the posi-
tion of booster push rod clevis and / or stop light switch according
to the instruction shown in this section.
The free height varies depending on installation position of booster
push rod clevis and stop light switch.
BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH ADJUSTMENT
Adjustment should be made as follows when installing switch. Pull
up brake pedal toward you and while holding it there, adjust switch
position so that clearance between end of thread and brake pedal
return cushion (shown as ªbº in figure).
Then tighten lock nut to specified torque.
Clearance ªbº: 1.5 ± 2.0 mm (0.06 ± 0.08 in.)
Tightening Torque
(b): 7.5 N
.m (0.75 kg-m, 5.5 lb-ft)
EXCESSIVE PEDAL TRAVEL CHECK
1) Remove foot rest and displace carpet and dash silencer(s).
2) Start engine.
3) Depress brake pedal a few times.
4) With brake pedal depressed with approximately 30 kg (66 lbs)
load, measure pedal to asphalt sheet clearance ªcº.
Clearance ªcº: over 115 mm (4.53 in.)
5) If clearance ªcº is less than specification, the most possible
cause is either rear brake shoes are worn out beyond limit or air
is in lines.
Should clearance ªcº remain less than specification even after
replacement of brake shoes and bleeding of system, other pos-
sible but infrequent cause is malfunction of rear brake shoe ad-
justers or booster push rod length out of adjustment.

LSPV (Load Sensing Proportioning Valve) ASSEMBLY (if equipped)
As shown in figure below, LSPV is included within the brake circuit which connects the master cylinder and the rear
wheel brake. It controls the hydraulic pressure applied to the rear wheel brake according to the loaded state of the
vehicle (or weight of the load), whereby preventing the rear wheels from getting locked prematurely.
Also, it releases the above described control over the hydraulic pressure applied to the rear wheel brake, should
any failure occur in the hydraulic circuit of the front wheel brake so that the hydraulic pressure produced in the mas-
ter cylinder is applied to the rear wheel brake directly to operate it.
CONSTITUTION
The LSPV components are grouped into three sections as follows.
ªAº: Sensor section
The main parts in this section are a lever and a spring which senses variation in the vehicle height as affected
by the loaded condition and converts it into the load.
ªBº: Hydraulic pressure control section
Included in this section are a stepped plunger and valve mechanism to execute proportional control.
ªCº: Fail-safe section
The main parts in this section are a chamber which draws in the hydraulic pressure from the front wheel brake
system and a fail-safe piston which releases the valve mechanism in the control section connected to the rear
wheel brake, should any failure occur in the front wheel brake system.

5E1-2 ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) (OPTIONAL)
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ABS (Antilock Brake System) controls the fluid pressure applied to the wheel cylinder of each brake from the
master cylinder so that each wheel is not locked even when hard braking is applied. This ABS is a 4-wheel type
which controls the fluid pressure applied to the wheel cylinder of each of the four brakes to prevent each wheel
from getting locked.
The component parts of this ABS includes following parts in addition to those of the conventional brake system.
Wheel speed sensor which senses revolution speed of each wheel and outputs its signal.
In this ABS, ABS hydraulic unit (actuator assembly), ABS control module, pump motor relay and fail-safe relay
are combined as one component.
ABS control module which sends operation signal to ABS hydraulic unit to control fluid pressure applied to each
wheel cylinder based on signal from each wheel speed sensor so as to prevent wheel from locking.
ABS hydraulic unit which operates according to signal from ABS control module to control fluid pressure applied
to wheel cylinder of each of 4 wheels.
Fail-safe (solenoid valve) relay which supplies power to solenoid valve in ABS hydraulic unit and pump motor
relay.
Pump motor relay which supplies power to pump motor in ABS hydraulic unit.
ªABSº warning lamp which lights to inform abnormality when system fails to operate properly.
G sensor which detects body deceleration speed. (For 4WD model only)
This ABS is equipped with Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD) system that controls a fluid pressure of rear
wheels to best condition, which is the same function as that of proportioning valve, by the signal from wheel sensor
independently of change of load due to load capacity and so on. And if the EBD system fails to operate properly,
the brake warning lamp lights to inform abnormality.
