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.
Limit: 0.05 mm (0.002 inch)
Q: Does the measured end play exceed the limit?
YES : Replace the faulty hub assembly. Then go to Step 5.
NO : Go to Step 5.
STEP 5. Recheck symptom.
Q: Is the symptom eliminated?
YES : The procedure is complete.
NO : Start over at step 1. If a new symptom surfaces, refer
to the symptom chart.

BRAKE PEDAL CHECK AND ADJUSTMENTM1351000900446
BRAKE PEDAL HEIGHT
1. Turn up the carpet, etc. under the brake pedal.
2. Measure the brake pedal height as illustrated.
Standard value: 168..5
171.5 mm A/T
Standard value: 169.4
172.4 mm - M/T
[From the surface of dash panel to the face of pedal
pad]
3. If the brake pedal height is not within the standard value,
follow the procedure below.
(1) Disconnect the stoplight switch connector.
(2) Remove the brake booster (Refer to P.35A-26).
NOTE: With the master cylinder and brake pipe con-
nected, remove the brake booster only.
(3) Adjust the brake pedal height by turning the clevis.
NOTE: When the clevis is turned 180 degrees, the pedal
height is changed by approximately 2.2 mm (0.09 in).
(4) Install the brake booster (Refer to P.35A-26).
(5) Measure the brake pedal height, and ensure that the
measured value is within the specified value. If it is out of
the specified value, repeat Step (3) - (6).
(6) Screw in the stop light switch until its thread contacts the
stopper, and fix the stop light switch by turning it
approximately one quarter of a turn clockwise.
(7) Check that the clearance between the stop light switch
and the stopper is as shown.
Check that the stop light does not illuminate when the
brake pedal is not depressed.
(8) Connect the connector at the stop light switch.
4. Return the carpet, etc. to its original position.

BRAKE PEDAL FREE PLAY
1. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position, and
depress the brake pedal two or three times. After eliminating
the vacuum in the brake booster, press the pedal down by
hand, and confirm that the amount of movement before
resistance is met (free play) is within the standard value
range.
Standard value: 3
8 mm (0.12 0.31 inch)
2. If the brake pedal play is not within the standard value,
check the following, and adjust or replace if necessary:
Excessive play between the brake pedal and the clevis pin,
or between the clevis pin and the brake booster operating
rod
Brake pedal height
Installation position of the stop light switch, etc.
CLEARANCE BETWEEN BRAKE PEDAL AND
DASH PANEL
1. Turn up the carpet, etc. under the brake pedal.
2. Start the engine, depress the brake pedal with
approximately 500 N (112 pounds) of force, and measure
the clearance between the brake pedal and the dash panel.
Standard value: 110 mm (4.33 inches) or more [From
the surface of dash panel to the face of pedal pad]
3. If the clearance is outside the standard value, check for air
trapped in the brake line and check the thickness of the disc
brake pad. Andjust and replace defective parts as required.
4. Return the carpet etc. to its original position.
BRAKE BOOSTER OPERATING TESTM1351001000372
1. For simple checking of the brake booster operation, carry
out the following tests:
(1) Run the engine for one or two minutes, and then stop it. If
the pedal depresses fully the first time but gradually
becomes higher when depressed succeeding times, the
booster is operating properly. If the pedal height remains
unchanged, the booster is defective. Go to step 2.

BASIC BRAKE SYSTEM35A-15
(2) With the engine stopped, step on the brake pedal several
times. Then step on the brake pedal and start the engine.
If the pedal moves downward slightly, the booster is in
good condition. If there is no change, the booster is
defective. Go to step 3.
(3) With the engine running, step on the brake pedal and
then stop the engine. Hold the pedal depressed for 30
seconds. If the pedal height does not change, the booster
is in good condition, if the pedal rises, the booster is
defective.
2. If the above three tests are okay, the booster is OK. If one of
the above three tests is not okay, the check valve, vacuum
hose, or booster is defective. Check the check valve (Refer
to P.35A-15), vacuum hose for leaks, high volume engine
vacuum applied to booster. Repair or replace as necessary.
If these are OK, replace booster and repeat this test starting
at Step 1.
CHECK VALVE OPERATION CHECKM1351009000376
The check valve should not be removed from the vacuum
hose.
1. Remove the vacuum hose. (Refer to P.35A-26).
If the check valve is defective, replace it as an assembly
together with the vacuum hose.
2. Check the operation of the check valve by using a vacuum
pump.

BLEEDINGM1351001400455
Use only brake fluid DOT 3 or DOT 4. Never mix the speci-
fied brake fluid with other fluid as it will influence the brak-
ing performance significantly.
.
MASTER CYLINDER BLEEDING
The master cylinder used has no check valve, so if bleeding is
carried out by the following procedure, bleeding of air from the
brake pipeline will become easier. (When brake fluid is not con-
tained in the master cylinder).
1. Fill the reserve tank with brake fluid.
2. Keep the brake pedal depressed.
3. Have another person cover the master cylinder outlet with a
finger.
4. With the outlet still closed, release the brake pedal.
5. Repeat steps 2
4 three or four times to fill the inside of the
master cylinder with brake fluid.
.
BRAKE LINE BLEEDING
Start the engine and bleed the air in the sequence shown in the
figure.

BRAKE FLUID LEVEL SENSOR CHECKM1351009100403
The brake fluid level sensor is in good condition if there is no
continuity when the float surface is above "MIN" and if there is
continuity when the float surface is below "MIN".
DISC BRAKE PAD CHECK AND REPLACEMENTM1351002300398
NOTE: Uneven wearor tapering of brake pad may be caused
by either caliper piston not operating correctly .
Whenever a pad must be replaced, replace both LH and
RH wheel pads as a set to prevent the vehicle from pull-
ing to one side when braking.
If there is a significant difference in the thicknesses of
the pads on the left and right sides, check the sliding
condition of the piston and slide pins.
1. Check the brake pad thickness through the caliper body
check port.(Rear). Front pad check can be viewed from rotor
side.
Standard value: 10.0 mm (0.39 inch)
Minimum limit: 2.0 mm (0.08 inch)

Do not wipe off the special grease that is on the lock pin.
Do not contaminate the lock pin.
2. Remove the lock pin bolt . Pivot the caliper assembly
upward and secure. Hold lock pin with spanner while
loosening bolt(Rear).

3. Remove the following parts from the caliper support.
(1) Pad assembly
(2) 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 P.35A-30).
5. Install the pads and caliper assembly, and then check the
brake drag force (Refer to P.35A-30).
6. Tighten lock pin bolt. Ensure lock pin is held with spanner
while tightening lock pin bolt(Rear) to specified torque.
DISC BRAKE ROTOR CHECKM1351002900334
Disc brakes must be kept within the allowable
service values in order to maintain normal brake
operation.
Before turning the brake disc, the following condi-
tions should be checked.
