7. Check foreign materials in oil pan to help determine cause of
malfunction. If the fluid is very dark, smells burned, or contains
foreign particles, the frictional material (clutches, band) may
need replacement. A tacky film that will not wipe clean indicates
varnish build up. Varnish can cause valves, servo, and clutches
to stick and may inhibit pump pressure.
IIf frictional material is detected, replace radiator after
repair of A/T. Refer to LC section (ªRadiatorº, ªENGINE
COOLING SYSTEMº).
8. Remove torque converter clutch solenoid valve and A/T fluid
temperature sensor connectors.
IBe careful not to damage connector.
9. Remove oil strainer.

Checking Brake Fluid Level
ICheck fluid level in reservoir tank. It should be between Max.
and Min. lines on reservoir tank.
IIf fluid level is extremely low, check brake system for leaks.
IWhen brake warning lamp comes on even when parking brake
lever is released, check brake system for leaks.
Checking Brake Line
CAUTION:
If leakage occurs around joints, retighten or, if necessary,
replace damaged parts.
1. Check brake lines (tubes and hoses) for cracks, deterioration
or other damage. Replace any damaged parts.
2. Check for oil leakage by fully depressing brake pedal while
engine is running.
Changing Brake Fluid
CAUTION:
IRefill with new brake fluid ªDOT 4º.
INever reuse drained brake fluid.
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. DO
NOT RUB IT OFF.
1. Connect a vinyl tube to each air bleeder valve.
2. Drain brake fluid from each air bleeder valve by depressing
brake pedal.
3. Refill until new brake fluid comes out of each air bleeder valve.
Use same procedure as in bleeding hydraulic system to refill
brake fluid. Refer to ªBleeding Brake Systemº, ªBRAKE
HYDRAULIC LINEº, BR-8.
Brake Burnishing Procedure
Burnish the brake contact surfaces according to the following pro-
cedure after refinishing or replacing rotors or drums, after replac-
ing pads or linings, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.
CAUTION:
Only perform this procedure under safe road and traffic con-
ditions. Use extreme caution.
1. Drive the vehicle on a straight smooth road at 50 km/h (31
MPH).
2. Use medium brake pedal/foot to bring the vehicle to a com-
plete stop from 50 km/h (31 MPH). Adjust brake pedal/foot
pressure such that vehicle stopping time equals 3 to 5
seconds.
3. To cool the brake system, drive the vehicle at 50 km/h (31
MPH) for 1 minute without stopping.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 for 10 times or more to complete the
burnishing procedure.

CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT

5. Bleed the air from the rear brake piping.
6. To adjust the LSV correctly, proceed as follows:
a. With unladen vehicle (12 liters of fuel, radiator coolant and
engine oil are full). Spare tire, hand tools and mats in desig-
nated positions. Check the length of LSV spring ªLº.
b. If the spring length is different from that specified, move the
regulation lever (2) until the specified value is obtained. Move
the LSV lever (1) until it contacts the stopper bolt and recheck
the spring length.
Sensor spring length ªLº
Hardtop: 201 mm (7.913 in)
Wagon: 197.5 mm (7.776 in)
NOTE: Do not disturb stopper bolt.
c. Start the engine and run it at idling speed.
d. Slowly depress the brake pedal until an input pressure of 4,805
kPa (48.1 bar, 49 kg/cm
2, 697 psi) is obtained (at the front axle
pressure gauge) and an output pressure of 1,736 - 2,501 kPa
(18 - 26 bar, 17.7 - 25.5 kg/cm
2, 252 - 363 psi) is obtained (at
the rear axle pressure gauge).
If the output pressure at the rear axle pressure gauge is not within
the specified values, adjust LSV spring length as described under
b) until the output pressure measured is within the specified range.
Unit: kPa (bar, kg/cm2, psi)
Front axle* 4,805 (48.1, 49.0, 697)
Rear axle* 1,736 - 2,501 (18 - 26, 17.7 - 25.5, 252 - 363)

OPERATING CHECK
IDepress brake pedal several times with engine off, and check
that there is no change in pedal stroke.
IDepress brake pedal, then start engine. If pedal goes down
slightly, operation is normal.
AIRTIGHT CHECK
IStart engine, and stop it after one or two minutes. Depress
brake pedal several times slowly. If pedal goes further down the
first time and gradually rises after second or third time, booster
is airtight.
IDepress brake pedal while engine is running, and stop engine
with pedal depressed. If there is no change in pedal stroke after
holding pedal down30 seconds, brake booster is airtight.
OUTPUT ROD LENGTH CHECK
1. Apply vacuum of þ66.7 kPa (þ667 mbar, þ500 mmHg, þ19.69
inHg) to brake booster with a manual vacuum pump and check
output rod length ªAº.
Specified length ªAº:
22.15 - 22.45 mm (0.872 - 0.884 in)
(The length ªAº in this case is the distance from end of output
rod to outside of brake booster, when the specified vacuum is
applied.)
