5C-2 PARKING AND REAR BRAKE
General Description
Drum Brake Assembly
The drum brake assembly has a self shoe clearance adjusting system so that drum-to-shoe clearance is main-
tained appropriate at all times. Rear brake is a drum type. It uses leading trailing operation when brake pedal is
depressed and when parking brake is applied on level road.
It also uses duo servo operation when parking brake is applied on gradient road and load is applied in longitudi-
nal direction of vehicle.
NOTE:
Replace all components included in repair kits to service this drum brake. Lubricate parts as speci-
fied.
WARNING:
If any hydraulic component is removed or brake line disconnected, bleed the brake system. The
torque values specified are for dry, unlubricated fasteners.

INSPECTION
Brake drum
Inspect drum for cleanliness. Check wear of its braking surface by
measuring its inside diameter.
Whenever brake drums are removed, they should be thoroughly
cleaned and inspected for cracks, scores, deep grooves.Brake dram inside diameter “a ”

Cracked, scored, or grooved drum
A cracked, drum is unsafe for further service and must be
replaced.
Do not attempt to weld a cracked drum.
Smooth up any slight scores. Heavy or extensive scoring will
cause excessive brake lining wear and it will probably be neces-
sary to resurface drum braking surface.
If brake linings are slightly worn and drum is grooved, drum
should be polished with fine emery cloth but should no be turned.
Brake shoe
Where lining is worn out beyond service limit, replace shoe.
If one of brake linings is to service limit, all linings must be
replaced at the same time.
Rear brake drum shoe thickness “a”
Standard : 7.1 mm (0.28 in.)
Service limit : 3.6 mm (0.14 in.)
INSTALLATION
For the details, refer to the same item of the same section in the
service manual mentioned in the FOREWORD of this manual not-
ing the following.
Before installing brake drum, check outer diameter of brake
shoes (3). If it is not within value as specified below, adjust it
to specification by turning adjuster (2).
Rear brake shoe outer diameter “a” :
253.3 – 253.7 mm (9.972 – 9.988 in.) NOTE:
When drum is removed, visually inspect wheel cylinder
for brake fluid leakage. Correct leaky point, if any.
CAUTION:
Never polish lining with sandpaper. If lining is polished
with sandpaper, hard particles of sandpaper will be
deposited in lining and may damage drum. When it is
required to correct lining, replace it with a new one.
NOTE:
See NOTE at the beginning of this section.

Table-A ABS Warning Lamp Circuit Check – Lamp Does Not Come “ON” at
Ignition Switch ON
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Operation (ON/OFF) of ABS warning lamp is controlled by ABS control module through lamp driver module in
combination meter.
If the Antilock brake system is in good condition, ABS control module turns ABS warning lamp ON at the ignition
switch ON, keeps it ON for 2 seconds and then turns it OFF. If an abnormality in the system is detected, ABS
warning lamp is turned ON continuously by ABS control module. Also, it is turned ON continuously by lamp
driver module when the connector of ABS control module is disconnected.
