Do not push in the master cylinder pushrod at
this time, otherwise the clutch will not operate
properly.
4. If the clutch pedal height and clutch pedal clevis
pin play are not within the standard value, loosen
the setting nut to adjust the clutch pedal height
and clevis pin play to the standard value.
5. Check the clutch pedal switch clearance is within
specification when pedal height is adjusted
correctly and is positioned at rest. If adjustment is
required, loosen nut and rotate switch to achieve
correct clearance.
Switch clearance value (C): 0.5
1.5 mm
Nut tightening torque : 10 - 15 Nm6. After completing the adjustments, confirm that the
clutch pedal free play clearance (measured
between pedal switch and bracket) and the
distance between the clutch pedal (the face of the
pedal pad) and the clutch pedal stopper when the
clutch is disengaged are within the standard value
ranges.
Standard value (C): 0.5
1.5 mm
Standard value (D): 35 mm or more
7. If the clutch pedal free play and the distance
between the clutch pedal and the clutch pedal
stopper or toeboard when the clutch is
disengaged do not agree with the standard
values, it is probably the result of either air in the
hydraulic system or a faulty master cylinder,
release cylinder or clutch. Bleed the air, or
disassemble and inspect the master cylinder,
release cylinder or clutch.
CLUTCH BLEEDINGM1211001400205
Use the specified brake fluid. Do not mix brake
fluids.
Specified fluid: Brake fluid DOT 3 or DOT 4
1. Connect a hose with a bottle to the bleeder screw.
2. Open the bleed nipple.
3. Depress the clutch pedal slowly. Open the bleeder
screw to let air and brake fluid out. Close the
bleeder screw. Release the clutch pedal. Repeat
until only brake fluid and no air comes out.
4. Check that the brake fluid reservoir level stays
between "MAX" and "MIN" marks throughout the
clutch bleeding process.

BASIC BRAKE SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS
INTRODUCTION TO BASIC BRAKE SYSTEM DIAGNOSISM1351009700319
Hydraulic brakes are composed of the brake pedal,
master cylinder, brake booster and disc brakes. Mal-
functions such as insufficient braking power or the
generation of noise may occur due to wear, damage
or incorrect adjustment of these components.
BASIC BRAKE SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLESHOOTING STRATEGYM1351009800316
Use these steps to plan your diagnostic strategy. If
you follow them carefully, you will be sure that you
have exhausted most of the possible ways to find a
basic brake system fault.
1. Gather information from the customer.2. Verify that the condition described by the
customer exists.
3. Find the malfunction by following the symptom
chart.
4. Verify malfunction is eliminated.
SYMPTOM CHARTM1351009900324
SYMPTOM PROCEDURES

STEP 1. Check for oil, water, etc., on the pad
contact surface of all brakes.
Q: Is oil, water, etc., on the pad contact surface?
YES :
Replace the part and determine the
source/cause of foreign material. Then go to

tube or hose.
Q: Is there a pinched or restricted brake tube or hose?
YES :
Replace that complete section of brake tube
or brake hose. Then go to Step 7.
NO : Go to Step 5.
STEP 5. Check for oil, water, etc., on the pad
contact surfaces of all brakes.
Q: Is oil, water, etc., on the pad contact surface?

.
DIAGNOSIS
STEP 1. Check for spongy (not firm) brakes.
(1) With engine not running, depress the brake pedal
rapidly several times to deplete booster vacuum
reserve.
(2) With the brake pedal fully released, depress the
brake pedal slowly until it stops.
(3) With a measuring device (ruler, etc.) next to the
brake pedal, depress the pedal firmly and
measure the distance the pedal traveled.
Q: Is the distance greater than 20 mm (0.8 inch)?

for damage.
Refer to P.35A-15.
Q: Is there a damage?
YES :
Replace the part. Then go to Step 7.
NO : Go to Step 4.
STEP 4. Check the master cylinder function.

Q: Is there a fault?
YES :
Repair it. Then go to Step 7.
NO : Go to Step 5.
STEP 5. Check for brake fluid leaks.
Q: Is there a leak?
YES :
Check the connection for looseness,
corrosion, etc. Clean and repair as
necessary. If leaking in any tube or hose
section, replace the complete tube or hose.
Then go to Step 7 .
NO : Go to Step 6.
STEP 6. Check for excessive clearance between
the push rod and primary piston.
Refer to P.35A-26.
Q: Is the clearance outside of specifications?
YES :
Adjust the clearance. Then go to Step 7.
NO : Go to Step 7.
STEP 7. 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.
