1. Loosen lock nut and adjust pedal free height by turning brake
booster input rod. Then tighten lock nut.
Make sure that tip of input rod stays inside.
2. Adjust clearance ªC
1º and ªC2º with stop lamp switch and
ASCD switch respectively. Then tighten lock nuts.
3. Check pedal free play.
Make sure that stop lamp is off when pedal is released.
4. Check brake pedal's depressed height while engine is running.
If depressed height is below specified value, check brake sys-
tem for leaks, accumulation of air or any damage to compo-
nents (master cylinder, wheel cylinder, etc.). Then make nec-
essary repairs.

On-vehicle ServiceNBBR0024OPERATING CHECKNBBR0024S011. Depress brake pedal several times with engine off. After
exhausting vacuum, make sure there is no change in pedal
stroke.
2. Depress brake pedal, then start engine. If pedal goes down
slightly, operation is normal.
AIRTIGHT CHECKNBBR0024S021. Start engine, and stop it after one or two minutes. Depress
brake pedal several times slowly. Booster is airtight if pedal
stroke is less each time.
2. Depress brake pedal while engine is running, and stop engine
with pedal depressed. The pedal stroke should not change
after holding pedal down for30 seconds.

RemovalNBBR0025CAUTION:
IBe careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it
may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is splashed on
painted areas, wash it away with water immediately.
IBe careful not to deform or bend brake pipes, during
removal of booster.

PARKING BRAKE CONTROL
Adjustment
BR-31

PurposeNBBR0087The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) consists of electronic and hydraulic components. It allows for control of
braking force so locking of the wheels can be avoided.
1) Improves proper tracking performance through steering wheel operation.
2) Eases obstacle avoidance through steering wheel operation.
3) Improves vehicle stability.
OperationNBBR0088IWhen the vehicle speed is less than 10 km/h (6 MPH) this system does not work.
IThe Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) has a self-test function. The system turns on the ABS warning lamp
for 1 second each time the ignition switch is turned ªONº. After the engine is started, the ABS warning lamp
turns off. The system performs a test the first time the vehicle reaches 6 km/h (4 MPH). A mechanical noise
may be heard as the ABS performs this self-test. This is a normal part of the self-test feature. If a mal-
function is found during this check, the ABS warning lamp will stay on.
IWhile driving, a mechanical noise may be heard during ABS operation. This is a normal condition.

7. Touch ªSELF-DIAG RESULTSº.
IThe screen shows the detected malfunction and how many
times the ignition switch has been turned ON since the mal-
function.
8. Make the necessary repairs following the diagnostic proce-
dures.

9. After the malfunctions are repaired, erase the self-diagnostic
results stored in the control unit by touching ªERASEº.
10. Check warning lamp for deactivation after driving vehicle over
30 km/h (19 MPH) for at least one minute.
11. Test the ABS in a safe area to verify that it functions properly.
NOTE:
ªSELF-DIAG RESULTSº screen shows the detected malfunction
and how many times the ignition switch has been turned since the
malfunction.
