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.)

1. OPERATING CHECK
(a) Depress the brake pedal several times with the engine off
and check that there is no change in the pedal reserve
distance.
(b) Depress the brake pedal and start the engine. If the pedal
goes down slightly, operation is normal.
2. AIR TIGHTNESS CHECK
(a) Start the engine and stop it after 1 or 2 minutes. Depress
the brake pedal several times slowly.
If the pedal goes down farthest the 1st time, but gradually rises
after the 2nd or 3rd time, the booster is air tight.
(b) Depress the brake pedal while the engine is running, and
stop the engine with the pedal depressed. If there is no
change in the pedal reserve travel after holding the pedal
for 30 seconds, the booster is air tight.

CAUTION:

Check that the battery cables are connected to the
correct terminals.

Disconnect the battery cables when the battery is giv-
en a quick charge.

Do not perform tests with a high voltage insulation re-
sistance tester.

Never disconnect the battery while the engine is run-
ning.
1. CHECK BATTERY ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
Check the electrolyte quantity of each cell.
Maintenance±Free Battery:
If under the lower level, replace the battery (or add distilled wa-
ter if possible). Check the charging system.
Except Maintenance±Free Battery:
If under the lower level, add distilled water.
2. Except Maintenance±Free Battery:
CHECK BATTERY SPECIFIC GRAVITY
Check the specific gravity of each cell.
Standard specific gravity:
1.25 ± 1.29 at 20°C (68°F)
If the specific gravity is less than specification, charge the bat-
tery.
3. Maintenance±Free Battery:
CHECK BATTERY VOLTAGE
(a) After having driven the vehicle and in the case that 20
minutes have not passed after having stopped the en-
gine, turn the ignition switch ON and turn on the electrical
system (headlight, blower motor, rear defogger etc.) for
60 seconds to remove the surface charge.
(b) Turn the ignition switch OFF and turn off the electrical sys-
tems.
(c) Measure the battery voltage between the negative (±)
and positive (+) terminals of the battery.
Standard voltage: 12.5 ± 12.9 V at 20°C (68°F)
If the voltage is less than specification, charge the battery.

4. CHECK BATTERY TERMINALS, FUSIBLE LINK AND
FUSES
(a) Check that the battery terminals are not loose or cor-
roded.
If the terminals are corroded, clean the terminals.
(b) Check the fusible link, H±fuses, M±fuse and fuses for
continuity.
5. INSPECT DRIVE BELTS
(a) Visually check the drive belt for excessive wear, frayed
cords etc.
If any defect has been found, replace the drive belt.
HINT:
Cracks on the rib side of a drive belt are considered acceptable.
If the drive belt has chunks missing from the ribs, it should be
replaced.
(b) Using a belt tension gauge, measure the belt tension.
Belt tension gauge:
DENSO BTG±20 (95506±00020)
Borroughs No. BT±33±73F
Drive belt tension:

110 ± 10 lbf
w/o A/C New belt
Used belt125 ± 25 lbf

If the belt tension is not as specified, adjust it.
HINT:

ºNew beltº refers to a belt which has been used less than
5 minutes on a running engine.

ºUsed beltº refers to a belt which has been used on a run-
ning engine for 5 minutes or more.

After installing a belt, check that it fits properly in the
ribbed grooves.

Check with your hand to confirm that the belt has not
slipped out of the groove on the bottom of the pulley.

light circuit.
8. INSPECT CHARGING CIRCUIT WITHOUT LOAD
HINT:
If a battery/generator tester is available, connect the tester to
the charging circuit as per manufacturer's instructions.
(a) If a tester is not available, connect a voltmeter and amme-
ter to the charging circuit as follows:
(1) Disconnect the wire from terminal B of the genera-
tor, and connect it to the negative (±) tester probe
of the ammeter.
(2) Connect the positive (+) tester probe of the amme-
ter to terminal B of the generator.
(3) Connect the positive (+) tester probe of the voltme-
ter to terminal B of the generator.
(4) Ground the negative (±) tester probe of the voltme-
ter.
(b) Check the charging circuit as follows:
With the engine running from idling to 2,000 rpm, check
the reading on the ammeter and voltmeter.
Standard amperage: 10 A or less
Standard voltage: 13.5 ± 15.1 V
If the voltmeter reading is more than standard voltage, replace
the voltage regulator.
