BASIC BRAKE SYSTEM35A-14
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.

(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.

PRECAUTIONS BEFORE SERVICE
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)M1001011600056
1. Items to review when servicing SRS:
(1) Be sure to read GROUP 52B, Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS). For safe operation,
please follow the directions and heed all
warnings.
(2) Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting
the battery cable before doing any further
work. The SRS system is designed to retain
enough voltage to deploy the air bag even
after the battery has been disconnected.
Serious injury may result from unintended air
bag deployment if work is done on the SRS
system immediately after the battery cable is
disconnected.
(3) Warning labels must be heeded when
servicing or handling SRS components.
Warning labels can be found in the following
locations.
Front impact sensor
Hood
Sun visor
Instrument panel (passenger ’s side)
SRS-ECU
Steering wheel
Clock spring
Air bag module (Driver's or front
passenger's)
Side-airbag module (Driver's side or front
passenger's side)
Side impact sensor
Seat belt pre-tensioner
(4) Always use the designated special tools and
test equipment.(5) Store components removed from the SRS in a
clean and dry place. The air bag module
should be stored on a flat surface and placed
so that the pad surface is facing upward.
(6) Never attempt to disassemble or repair the
SRS components (SRS-ECU, air bag module
and clock spring). If there is a defect, replace
the defective part.
(7) Whenever you finish servicing the SRS, check
the SRS warning light operation to make sure
that the system functions properly.
(8) Be sure to deploy the air bag before disposing
of the air bag module or disposing of a vehicle
equipped with an air bag (Refer to GROUP
52B, Air Bag Module Disposal Procedures
P.52B-254).
2. Observe the following when carrying out
operations on places where SRS components are
installed, including operations not directly related
to the SRS air bag.
(1) When removing or installing parts, do not allow
any impact or shock to occur to the SRS
components.
(2) If heat damage may occur during paint work,
remove the SRS-ECU, the air bag module,
clock spring, the front impact sensor, the side
impact sensor, and the seat belt pre-tensioner.

SERVICING ELECTRICAL SYSTEMM1001011900057
Battery posts, terminals and related accessories con-
tain lead and lead compounds. WASH HANDS AFTER
HANDLING.
1. Note the following before proceeding with working on the
electrical system.
Never perform unauthorized modifications to any electrical
device or wiring. Such modifications might lead to a vehicle
malfunction, over-capacity or short-circuit that could result in
a fire in the vehicle.
Before connecting or disconnecting the negative bat-
tery cable, be sure to turn the ignition switch to the
"LOCK" (OFF) position and turn off the lights (If this is
not done, there is the possibility of semiconductor
parts being damaged).
After completion of the work (and the negative battery
terminals is connected), warm up the engine and allow
it to idle for approximately 10 minutes under the condi-
tions described below in order to stabilize engine con-
trol conditions, and then check to be sure that the idle
is satisfactory.
Engine coolant temperature: 85 to 95C (185 to
203
F)
Lights and all accessories: OFF
Transaxle: "N" or "P" position
Steering wheel: straight-forward position
2. When servicing the electrical system, disconnect the
negative cable terminal from the battery.
VEHICLE WASHINGM1001012000057
If high-pressure car-washing equipment or steam car-washing
equipment is used to wash the vehicle, be sure to maintain the
spray nozzle at a distance of at least approximately 50 cm (20
inches) from any plastic parts and all opening parts (doors, lug-
gage compartment, etc.).

If the air intake duct is removed from the throttle body take great care to keep fingers away
from the throttle plate. The drive motor has very high torque and is capable of random move-
ment at any time. Do not under any circumstances activate the throttle plate by hand.
When removing the throttle body from the intake manifold disconnect the wiring first. During
replacement connect the wiring last.
Do not activate the throttle body using a DC suppy to test the motor,as permanent damage to
the throttle body will result.

Required Special Tool:
MB995061: Purge Flow Indicator
1. Disconnect the purge hose from the evaporative emission
(EVAP) purge solenoid, and connect special tool MB995061
between the EVAP purge solenoid and the purge hose.
2. Before inspection, set the vehicle in the following conditions:
Engine coolant temperature: 80 95C (176 203F)
Lights, electric cooling fan and accessories: OFF
Transaxle: P range
3. Run the engine at idle for more than four minutes.
4. Check the purge flow volume when engine is revved
suddenly several times.
Standard value: Momentarily 20 cm
3/s (2.5 SCFH) or
more.
5. If the purge flow volume is less than the standard value,
check it again with the vacuum hose disconnected from the
EVAP canister. If the purge flow volume is less than the
standard value, check the vacuum port and the vacuum
hose for clogging. Also check the EVAP purge solenoid. If
the purge flow volume is at the standard value, replace the
EVAP canister.

NOTE: When disconnecting the vacuum hose, always place
an identification mark so that it can be reconnected at its
original position.
2. Disconnect the harness connector.
3. Connect a hand vacuum pump to nipple (A) of the EVAP
