PEDAL STROKE

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

To perform adjustment operations, remove tire from the vehicle with power tool.
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.)
d. With pedal completely returned, make sure there is no drag on rear brake. Pedal stroke : 4
− 5 notches

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Lining Thickness Inspection

Check thickness of lining.
Drum Inner Diameter Inspection

Check drum inner diameter.
Other Inspections

Check shoe sliding surface for excessive wear and damage.

Check anti-rattle pin for excessive wear and corrosion.

Check return spring for sagging.

Check adjustor for rough operation.

Check either visually or with a vernier caliper to see if there is
any excessive wear, cracks, or damage inside drum.
INSTALLATION
Be careful of the following:

Refer to “Component Parts Location” and apply brake grease to the specified points during assembly.

Assemble adjuster so that threaded part expands when rotating
it in the direction shown by the arrow.

Shorten adjuster by rotating it.

When disassembling adjuster, apply PBC (Poly Butyl Cuprysil)
grease or silicone based grease to the threads.

After replacing brake shoes or disc rotors, or if brakes do not
function well, perform break-in operation as follows.
1. Adjust parking brake pedal stroke to the specified stroke.
2. Perform parking brake break-in (drag run) operation by driving the vehicle under the following conditions:
3. After break-in operation, check lever stroke of parking brake. Readjust if it is no longer at the specified stroke.

To prevent lining from getting too hot, allow a cool off period of approximately 5 minutes after every
break-in operation.

Do not perform excessive break-in operations, because it may cause uneven or early wear of lining. Standard thickness (A) : 3.2 mm (0.126 in)
Repair limit thickness (A) : 1.5 mm (0.059 in)

On-Vehicle Inspection and ServiceAGS000GW
CHECKING CONDITION OF INSTALLATION

Check installation condition of steering gear assembly, front suspension, axle and steering column.

Check if movement exists when steering wheel is moved up and down, to the left and right and to the axial
direction.

Check if the mounting bolts for steering gear assembly are loose
or not. Refer to PS-19, "
POWER STEERING GEAR AND LINK-
AGE" .
CHECKING STEERING WHEEL PLAY
1. Set tires to the straight ahead, start engine, then turn steering wheel to the left and right lightly, and mea-
sure steering wheel movement on the outer circumference when steering wheel is turned up to the point
where tires start moving.
CHECKING NEUTRAL POSITION ON STEERING WHEEL
Check neutral position on steering wheel after confirming that front wheel alignment is correct. Refer to FSU-
6, "Wheel Alignment Inspection" .
1. Set vehicle to the straight direction, check if steering wheel is in the neutral position.
2. If it is not in the neutral position, remove steering wheel and reinstall it correctly.
3. If the neutral position cannot adjust in the two teeth of steering gear assembly, loosen outer socket lock nuts of steering outer sockets, then adjust outer socket by the same amount in the opposite direction.
CHECKING STEERING WHEEL TURNING FORCE
1. Park vehicle on a level and dry surface, set parking brake.
2. Remove driver air bag module from steering wheel. Refer to SRS-35, "
DRIVER AIR BAG MODULE" .
3. Start engine at idle, make steering fluid reach to normal operat- ing temperature [50 to 80 °C (122 to 176 °F)], then check steering
wheel turning torque with pre-load gauge (SST).
4. If steering wheel turning force is out of the specification, check relief hydraulic pressure of oil pump. Refer to PS-31, "
POWER
STEERING OIL PUMP" .
