Brake Booster Pushrod Clearance
Adjustment
SpecialTools Required
Pushrod adjustment gauge 07JAG-SD40100
NOTE: Brake booster pushrod-to-piston clearance mustbe checked and adjustments made, if necessarV, beforeinstalling the master cylinder.
1. Setthespecial tool (A) onthe mastercylinder bodv(B), push in the center shaft (C) until the top of itcontacts the end of the secondary piston {D) byturning the adjusting nut (E).
Without disturbing the center shaft's position,
installthe specialtool (A) backwards on the booster.
Install the master cylinder nuts (B), and tighten
them to the specified torque.
Connecl the booster in line with a vacuum gauge
{C) 0-101 kPa {0'-760 mmHg, 30 in.Hg) to thebooster's engine vacuum supply, and maintain anengine speed that will deliver 66 kPa (500 mmHg,20 in.Hg) vacuum.

IBrake Booster Test
Functional Test
1. With the engine stopped, press the brake pedal
several times to deplete the vacuum reservoir, thenpress the pedal hard, and hold itfor 15 seconds. lfthe pedal sinks, either the master cylinder is
bypassing internally, or the brake system (master
cylinder, lines. modulator, or calipers) is leaking.
2. Start the engine with the brake pedal pressed. lf thepedal sinks slightly, the vacuum booster is workingproperly. lf the pedal height does not vary, thebooster or check valve is faulty.
3. With the engine running, press the brake pedal
lightly. lfthe brake pedal sinks more than 1O mm
{3/8 in, ) in 3 minutes, the master cylinder is faulty.A slight change in pedal height when the Ay'C
compressor cycles on and off is normal. (The A,/C
compressor load changes the vacuum available tothe booster.)
Leak Test
1. Press the brake pedal with the engine running, thenstop the engine. lf the pedal height does not vary
while pressed for 30 seconds, the vacuum boosteris OK. lf the pedal rises, the booster is faulty.
2. With the engine stopped, press the brake pedal
several times using normal pressure. When thepedal is first pressed, it should oe row.
On consecutive applications, the pedal height
should gradually rise. lfthe pedal position does notvarv, check the booster check valve.

3. Disconnect the brake booster vacuum hose (check
valve built-in) (A) at the booster side.
5.
4.Start the engine, and let it idle. There should bevacuum available. lf no vacuum is available, thecheck valve is not working properly. Repiace thebrake booster vacuum hose and check valve, andrelesI.
Reconnect the brake booster vacuum nose.
Start the engine, and then pinch the brake boostervacuum hose between the check valve and thebooster,
Turn the ignition switch OFF, and wait 30 seconds,Press the brake pedal several times using normalpressu re,
When the pedal is first pressed, it should be low.On consecutive applications, the pedal height
should gradually rise.
. lf the pedal position does notvary, replacethe
brake booster.. lf the pedal position varies, replace the brake
booster vacuum hose/check valve assembly.

removal, and note these items:
. Adjust the pushrod clearance before installing
the brake booster (see page 19-16).. Use a new clip whenever installing.. After installing the brake booster and master
cylinder, fill the reservoir with new brake fluid,
bleed the brake system (see page 19-8), and
adjust the brake pedal height and free play (see
page 19-6),

General Troubleshooting Information
ABS Indicator
. lf the system is OK,theABS indicator goes off 2
seconds after turning the ignition switch ON (ll)
without starting the engine, and then comes on again
and goes off 2 seconds later after starting the engine.
This occurs because the ABS control unitisturned
on by the lG2 power source.. The ABS indicator comes on when the ABS control
unit detects a problem in the system. However, even
though the system is operating properly, the indicator
will come on under these conditions:- Only the drive wheels rotate- One drive wheel is stuck- The vehicle goes into a spin- The ABS continues to operate for a long time.- The vehicle is subjected to an electrical signal
disturbance
To determine the actual cause of the problem, question
the customer about the problem. taking the above
condilions into consideration.
. When a Droblem is detected and lhe ABS indicator
comes on, there are cases when the indicator stays
on until the ignition switch is turned OFF, and cases
when the indicator goes off automatically when the
sYstem returns to normal.- DTC 61: The ABS indicator goes off automatically
when the system returns to normal.- DTC 11, 13,15,17 ,31,32,33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 54,
or 81: The ABS indicator stays on until the ignition
switch is turned OFF whether or not the system
returns to normal.- DfC 12, 14, 16, 1a,21,51,52, or 53; The ABS
indicator goes off when the vehicle is driven again
and the system is OK after the ignition switch is
turned from OFF to ON {ll}.
Diagnostic Trouble Code {DTCI
. The memory can hold three DTCS. However, when
the same DTC is detected more than once, the more
recent DTC is written over the earlier one.
Therefore, when the same problem is detected
repeatedly, it is memorized as a single DTC.. The DTCs are in the order they occurred, beginning
with the most recent.. The DTCS are memorized in the EEPROM (non-
volatile memory). Therefore. the memorized DTCs
are not cleared when the battery is disconnected, the
ignition switch is turned off, or the system returns to
normal. Do the specified procedures to clear the
DTCs.
Self-diagnosis
. Self-diagnosis can be classified into two categories:- Initial diagnosis:
Done right after the engine starts and until the ABS
indicator goes off- Regular diagnosis:
Done rightafterthe initial diagnosis until the
ignition switch is turned OFF. When a problem is detected by self-diagnosis, the
system does the following:- Turns the ABS indicator on- Memorizes the DTC- Stops ABS control
Kickback
The pump motor operates when the ABS is functioning,
and the fluid in the reservoir is forced out to the master
cylinder, causing kickback at the brake pedal.
Pump Motor
. The pump motor operates when the ABS is
functioning.. The ABS control unit checks the pump motor
operation when the vehicle is started the first time
after the ignition switch is turned ON (ll). You may
hear the motor operate at this time, but it is normal.
