When parking brake pedal is operated with a force of 200 N (20.4 kg, 44.9 lb), make sure the stroke is
within the specified number of notches. (Check it by listening and counting the ratchet clicks.)
INSPECT COMPONENTS

Make sure the components are attached properly (check for looseness, backlash, etc.).

Check parking brake pedal assembly for bend, damage and cracks, and replace if necessary.

Check cable for wear and damage, and replace if necessary.

Check parking brake warning lamp switch for malfunction, and replace if necessary.
ADJUSTMENT

1. Insert a deep socket wrench to rotate adjusting nut and loosen
cable sufficiently. Then, return pedal.
2. Using wheel nuts, fix disc to hub and prevent it from tilting.
3. Remove adjusting hole plug installed on disc. Using a flat-
bladed screwdriver, turn Adjuster in direction A as shown in the
figure until disc rotor is locked. After locking, turn adjuster in the
opposite direction by 5 or 6 notches.
4. Rotate disc rotor to make sure there is no drag. Install adjusting
hole plug.
5. Adjust cable as follows:
a. Operate pedal 10 or more times with a force of 490 N (50 kg,
11 0 l b ) .
b. Rotate adjusting nut with deep socket to adjust pedal stroke.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse adjusting nut after removing it.
c. When parking brake pedal is operated with a force of 200 N (20.4 kg, 44.9 lb), make sure the stroke is
within the specified number of notches. (Check it by listening and counting the ratchet clicks.)

If vibration is present at high speed, check propeller shaft runout first.
1. Measure propeller shaft runout at several points by rotating final
drive companion flange with your hands.
2. If runout still exceeds specifications, disconnect propeller shaft
at final drive companion flange: then rotate companion flange
90, 180, 270 degrees and reconnect propeller shaft.
3. Check runout again. If runout still exceeds specifications,
replace propeller shaft assembly.
4. Perform driving test to check.
5. If the runout exceeds the service limit, do the following:

Remove the propeller shaft from the final drive companion flange.

Turn the propeller shaft 60, 120, 180, 240, 300 degrees and reinstall the propeller shaft to the compan-
ion flange, then measure the runout again.
