2000 HONDA CR-V pedal

Road Test
NOTE: Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature (the radiator tan comes on).
1. Before testing, check the transmission fluid level, see page 14-160.
2. Apply the parking brake and block the wheels. start the engine, then shift to E {'97 - 98) or E {'gg - 00) position
while pressing the brake pedal. Press the accelerator pedal and release it suddenly. The engine should not stall.
3. Repeat same test in E position ('97 - 98 models).
4. Test-drive the vehicle on a flat road in the E or E position. Check that the shift points occur at approximate speeds
shown on a flat road. Also check for abnormal noise and clutch slippage.
Throttle position sensor voltage represents the throttle opening. Monitor it with the Honda PGM Tester or as follows:
a. Unbolt the PCM for road testing; reJer to page 14-58.
b. Set the digital multimeter to check throttle position sensor voltage between these terminals on the PCM:
. '97 Model: Between terminals D'! (+) and A9 (-) or A22 {-}
. '98 - OO Models; Between terminals C27 (+) and 820 (-) or 822 {-)

Stall Speed
Test
CAUTION:
. To prevent transmission damage, do not te3t stall speed for mors than 10 s€€onds at a time'
. Do not shift the lever while raising th€ engine spsed.
. Be sure to remove tho pressuro gauge bofore testing stall speed,
1. Before testing, check the transmission fluid level, s€e page 14-160.
2. Engage the parking brake and block all four wheels
3. Connect the tachometer, and start the engane.
4. Make sure the Ay'C switch is OFF
5. After the engine haswarmed upto normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on),shiftinto@ position.
6. Fully press the brake pedal and accelerator for 6 to 8 seconds, and note engine speed '
j. A|ow 2 minutes for cooling, then repeat the test in E, E ('97 - 98). E {'99 - 00}, and E positions. Stall speed should
be the same in E, E, E, tr. and E positions
Stall Speed rpm:

Inspection and Adjustment
Brake System Rubber Parts and Brake Booster
@-Brake Booster
Check brake operation by applying the brakes.
lf the brakes do not work properly, check the brake
booster. Replace the brake booster as an assembly ifit does not work properly or if there are signs of leak-
age.
@-Piston Cup and Pressure Cup Inspection. Check brake operation by applying the brakes.
Visually check for damage or signs of tluid leakage.Replace the master cylinder as an assembly if thepedal does not work properly or if there is damage orsigns of fluid leakage.
. Check for a difference in brake pedal stroke betweenquick and slow brake applications. Replace the mas-.
ter cylinder if there is a difference in pedal stroke.
(9-Brake Hoses
Visually check for damage or signs of fluid leakage.
Replace the brake hose with a new one if it is dam-
aged or leaking.
O-Caliper Piston S€al and Piston Boots
Check brake operation by applying the brakes.
Visually check for damage or signs of fluid leakage. lf
the pedal does not operate properly, the brakes drag,
or there is damage or signs of fluid leakage, disas-
semble and inspect the brake caliper. Replace the
boots and seals with new ones whenever the brake
caliper is disassembled.
@-Wheel Cylinder Piston Cup and Dust Cover
Check brake operation by applying the brakes.
Visually check for damage or signs of fluid leakage. lf
the pedal does not operate properly, the brakes drag,
or there is damage or signs of fluid leakage, replace
the wheel cvlinder.

Brake Pedal
Pedal Hoight
1. Disconnect the brake switch connector, loosen the
brake switch locknut, and back off the brake switch
until it is no longer touching the brake pedal.
2. Lift up the carpet, At the insulator cutout, measure
the pedal height from the middle of the right side of
the oedal pad.
BRAKE SWITCH
ERAKE SWITCH
Standard Pedal Height (with floor m8i removed):
A/T: 161 mm (5 5/16 in)
M/T: 155 mm {6 U8 in}
Loosen the pushrod locknut, and screw the pushrod
in or out with pliers until the standard pedal height
from the floor is reached. Do not adjust the pedal
height with the pushrod pressed. After adiustment,
tighten the locknut firmly.

4. Screw in the brake switch until its plunger is fully
pressed (threaded end touching the pad on the
pedal arm), Then back otf the switch 1/4 turn to
make 0.3 mm (0.01 in) of clearance between the
threaded end and pad. Tighten the locknut firmly.
Connect the brake switch connecto.. Make sure that
the brake lights 90 off when the pedal is released
5. Checkthe brake pedalfree play as described below
Pedal Free Play
1. With the engine off. inspect the free play on the
pedal pad by pushing the pedal by hand-
Free Play: 1 - 5 mm (1/16 - 3/16 in)
2. lf the pedal free play is out of specification, adiust
the brake switch. lf the pedal free play is insuffi-
cient, it may result in brake drag.

Bleeding
CAUNON:
. Do not spill brake tluid on the vehicle. it may damage
the paint; if brake fluid does contaqt th€ paint, wash
it otf immodiately with water.
. Maks sure no dirt oy other forsign matter is allowsd
to contaminate the brake fluid.
NOTE:
. Do not reuse the drained fluid.
. Always use Genuine Honda DOT 3 Brake Fluid. Using
a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and
decrease the life of the svstem.
. The reservoir on the master cylinder must be at the
MAX (upper) level mark at the start of bleeding pro-
cedure and checked after bleeding each brake caliper
and wheel cylinder. Add fluid as required.
1, Make sure the brake fluid level in the reservoir is at
the MAX (uDDer) level line.

Have someone slowly pump the brake pedal several
times, then apply steady pressu.e.
Loosen the brake bleed screw to allow air to escape
from the system. Then tighten the bleed screw
securely.
Repeat the procedure for each wheel in the sequence
shown below until air bubbles no longer appear in
the tluid.
Refill the reservoir on the master cvlinder to the
MAX (upper) level line.

9. Apply Molykote M77 grease or Daikalub 528Dgrease to both sides of the pad shims and the back
of the pads. Wipe excess grease off the shims.
Apply Molykote M77

INNER PAD
OUTER PAD
lnstall the brake pads and pad shims correctly.
Install the pad with the wear indicator on the inside.
. When reusing the pads, always reinstall thebrake pads in their original positions to prevent
loss of braking efficiency.. Contaminated brake discs or pads reduce stop-ping ability. Keep grease off the discs and pads.

'11. Push in the piston so that the caliper willfit over thepads. Make sure the piston boot is in position toprevent damaging it when pivoting the caliper
down.

13.
Pivot the caliper down into position, being careful
not to damage the pin boot. Install the caliper bolt
and tighten it,
Press the brake pedal several times to make sure
the brakes work, then test-drive.
NOTE: Engagement of the brake may require agreater pedal stroke immediately after the brakepads have been replaced as a set. Several applica-
tions of the brake pedal will restore the normalpedal stroke.
After installation, check for leaks at hose and linejoints and connections, and retighten if necessary.

Master Cylinder/Brake Booster
Removal/lnstallation
1, 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.
To prevent spills, cover the line joints with rags or
shop towels.
5. Remove the master cylinder mounting nuts and
wasners.
6. Remove the master cylinder from the brake booster.
CAUTION: Be careful not to bend or damage the
brake lines when removing the master cylinder.
Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle; it may dam.
age the paint; it brake fluid does cont.ct the paint,
wash it oft immediately with water.
7. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the brake booster.
8. Remove the cotter 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 (see page 19-15).

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 adjust the pushrod clearance before
installing the master cylinder (see page 19-14).
Fill the master cylinder reservoir, and bleed the
brake system (see page 19-7).
After installation, check the brake pedal height and
brake pedal free play (see page 19-5), and adjust if
necessary.
