2004 BRAKES
Basic Brake System - Endeavor
GENERAL DESCRIPTION The brake system has been designed to give greater reliability and durability and to
provide excellent braking performance. FEATURES IMPROVED BRAKING PERFORMANCE 1. A 9+10 inch tandem brake booster has been adopted to provide sufficient
braking force in sudden braking range.
2. Front ventilated disc brakes have been adopted to provide stabled braking force
and improved braking feel.
3. Rear solid disc brakes have been adopted. IMPROVED STABILITY 1. A 4-wheel anti-lock braking system (4ABS) has been adopted to prevent
slipping caused by the vehicle wheels locking up, in order to maintain a stable
vehicle posture and steering performance.
2. An electronic brake-force distribution (EBD) makes it possible to maintain the
maximum amount of braking force even when the vehicle's load is unevenly
distributed. < Vehicles with ABS>
3. A rear wheel early lock-prevention proportioning valve has been adopted. <
Vehicles without ABS>
4. Front- and rear-wheel X-type brake line layout has been adopted.
5. Ventilated discs have been adopted for front brakes in order to improve anti-
fading performance. IMPROVED SERVICEABILITY 1. A diagnosis function has been adopted for the ABS system in order to make
inspection easier.
2. An outer disc separated hub and rotor has been adopted to make removal and

Q: Does the measured end play exceed the limit?
YES: Replace the faulty hub assembly. Then go to Step 10 .
NO: Go to Step 8.
STEP 8. Check whether the brake booster or master cylinder return is
insufficient.
Q: Is the brake booster or master c
ylinder return insufficient?

Q: Is the caliper installation bolt loose?
YES: Tighten to 100 +/- 10 N.m (74 +/- 7 ft-lb) for the front caliper.
Tighten to 60 +/- 5 N.m (45 +/- 3 ft-lb) for the rear caliper. Then go to
Step 5 .
NO: Go to Step 4.
STEP 4. Check the wheel bearings for end play.
1. Remove the brake discs.
2. Place a dial gauge as shown, and measure the end play while moving the
hub in the axial direction.

3. Remove the following parts from caliper support.
1. Pad assembly
2. Pad and wear indicator assembly or Pad assembly
3. Shim
4. Clip
4. In order to measure the brake drag force after pad installation, measure the
rotary-sliding resistance of the hub with the pads removed (Refer to
INSPECTION
).
5. Install the pads and caliper assembly, and then check the brake drag force
(Refer to INSPECTION
).

2. If the disc thickness is less than the limits, replace it with a new one. If
thickness variation exceeds the specification, turn rotor with an on-the-car type
brake lathe ("Accuturn-8750" or equivalent). If the calculated final thickness
after turning the rotor is less than the standard value, replace the disc. BRAKE DISC RUN-OUT CHECK AND CORRECTION 1. Remove the brake assembly, and then hold it with wire.
2. Temporarily install the disc with the hub nut.
3. Place a dial gauge approximately 5 mm (0.2 inch) from the outer
circumference of the brake disc, and measure the run-out of the disc.
Limit:
< Front brake disc>: 0.03 mm (0.0012 inch)
< Rear brake disc>: 0.08 mm (0.0031 inch)
