PRECAUTION
1. Care must be taken to replace each part properly as it could affect the performance of the brake
system and result in a driving hazard. Replace the parts with parts having the same part number
or equivalent.
2. It is very important to keep parts and the area clean when repairing the brake system.
3. If the vehicle is equipped with a mobile communication system, refer to the precautions in the
IN section.

BRAKE FLUID
BLEEDING
HINT:
If any work is done on the brake system or if air is suspected in
the brake lines, bleed the air from the system.
NOTICE:
Do not let brake fluid remain on a painted surface. Wash it
off immediately.
1. FILL BRAKE RESERVOIR WITH BRAKE FLUID
Check the fluid level in the reservoir after bleeding each wheel.
Add fluid, if necessary.
Fluid: SAEJ1703 or FMVSS No.116 DOT 3
2. BLEED MASTER CYLINDER
HINT:
If the master cylinder has been disassembled or if the reservoir
becomes empty, bleed the air from the master cylinder.
(a) Disconnect the 2 brake lines from the master cylinder.
(b) Slowly depress the brake pedal and hold it.
(c) Block off the outlet plugs with your fingers, and release
the brake pedal.
(d) Repeat (b) and (c) 3 or 4 times.
3. CONNECT VINYL TUBE TO BRAKE CALIPER OR
WHEEL CYLINDER BLEEDER PLUG
Insert the other end of the tube in a half±full container of brake
fluid.
NOTICE:
Bleed air of the rear brake first. If front brake is bled first,
rear brake air cannot be bled.
4. BLEED BRAKE LINE
(a) Slowly depress the brake pedal several times.
(b) While an assistant depresses the pedal, loosen the
bleeder plug until fluid starts to run out. Then tighten the
bleeder plug.
(c) Repeat this procedure until there are no more air bubbles
in the fluid.
Torque: (Bleeder plug)
8.3 N´m (85 kgf´cm, 74 in.´lbf)

ON±VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. CHECK PEDAL HEIGHT
Pedal height from asphalt sheet:
152.0 ± 162.0 mm (5.984 ± 6.378 in.)
2. IF NECESSARY, ADJUST PEDAL HEIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connector from the stop light switch.
(b) Loosen the stop light switch lock nut and remove the stop
light switch.
(c) Loosen the push rod lock nut.
(d) Adjust the pedal height by turning the pedal push rod.
(e) Tighten the push rod lock nut.
Torque: 25 N´m (260 kgf´cm, 19 ft´lbf)
(f) Install the stop light switch and turn it until it lightly con-
tacts the pedal stopper.
(g) Push in the brake pedal 5±15 mm (0.20±0.59 in.), turn the
stop light switch to lock the nut in the position where the
stop light goes off.
(h) Connect the connector to the stop light switch.
(i) After installation, push in the brake pedal 5±15 mm
(0.20±0.59 in.), check that stop light lights up.
(j) Connect the connector to the stop light switch.
(k) After adjusting the pedal height, check the pedal freeplay.
3. CHECK PEDAL FREEPLAY
(a) Stop the engine and depress the brake pedal several
times until there is no more vacuum left in the booster.
(b) Push in the pedal by hand until the resistance begins to
be felt, then measure the distance.
Pedal freeplay: 1 ± 6 mm (0.04 ± 0.24 in.)
HINT:
The freeplay to the 1st resistance is due to the play between the
clevis and pin. This is magnified up to 1 ± 6 mm (0.04 ± 0.24 in.)
at the pedal.
If incorrect, check the stop light switch clearance.
If the clearance is OK, then troubleshoot the brake system.
Stop light switch clearance:
0.5 ± 2.4 mm (0.020 ± 0.094 in.)

4. CHECK PEDAL RESERVE DISTANCE
(a) Release the parking brake.
(b) With the engine running, depress the pedal and measure
the pedal reserve distance, as shown.
Pedal reserve distance from asphalt sheet at 490 N
(50 kgf, 110.2 lbf): More than 70 mm (2.76 in.)
If the reserve distance is incorrect, troubleshoot the brake sys-
tem.

ON±VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. CHECK THAT PARKING BRAKE LEVER TRAVEL
Pull the parking brake lever all the way up, and count the num-
ber of clicks.
Parking brake lever travel at 196 N (20 kgf, 44.1 lbf):
5 ± 8 clicks
If incorrect, adjust the parking brake.
2. IF NECESSARY, ADJUST PARKING BRAKE LEVER
TRAVEL
HINT:
Before adjusting the parking brake lever travel, make sure that
the rear brake shoe clearance has been adjusted. For shoe
clearance adjustment, see step 2 on page BR±35 or step 1 on
page BR±48.
(a) Remove the console box.
(b) Loosen the lock nut and adjust the adjusting nut until the
lever travel is correct.
(c) Tighten the lock nut.
