Brake Pedal Foot Protection System Construction (If Equipped)S6RW0D4101004
Should a front crash occur and the engine push the dash panel toward the interior side, the brake pedal bracket is also
pushed toward the interior side. In this case, the brake pedal lever comes off from the brake pedal, thereby preventing
the brake pedal from moving rearward.
CAUTION!
Never disassemble brake pedal assembly. Disassemble will spoil its original function. If faulty
condition is found, replace it with new one.

Diagnostic Information and Procedures
Brakes Diagnosis NoteS6RW0D4104001
Road Testing Brakes
Brakes should be tested on dry, clean, smooth and
reasonably level roadway which is not crowned. Road
test brakes by making brake applications with both light
and heavy pedal forces at various speeds to determine if
the vehicle stops evenly and effectively. Also drive
vehicle to see if it leads to one side or the other without
brake application. If it does, check the tire pressure, front
wheel alignment and front suspension attachments for
looseness. See diagnosis table for other causes.
Brake Fluid Leaks
Check the master cylinder fluid levels. While a slight
drop in reservoir level does result from normal lining
wear, an abnormally low level indicates a leak in the
system. In such a case, check the entire brake system
for leakage. If even a slight evidence of leakage is noted,
the cause should be corrected or defective parts should
be replaced.Substandard or Contaminated Brake Fluid
Improper brake fluid, mineral oil or water in the fluid may
cause the brake fluid to boil or the rubber components
(piston cups and brake hoses) in the hydraulic system to
deteriorate.
If the above fluid is included in the system, replace the
master cylinder assembly and other rubber components
(hoses). The master cylinder assembly is disassemble
parts to maintain the performance.
The system must be flushed if there is any doubt as to
the grade of fluid in the system or if fluid has been used
which contained parts that have been subjected to
contaminated fluid.

Brake Pedal ComponentsS6RW0D4106018
CAUTION!
If equipped Brake Pedal Foot Protection
System, never disassemble brake pedal
assembly. Disassemble will spoil its original
function. If faulty condition is found, replace
it with new one.

Brake Pedal Free Height InspectionS6RW0D4106001
1) Check brake pedal free height. If it is not within
specification, check and adjust following item 2) and
6).
Brake pedal free height “a” from carpet
111 – 131 mm (4.4 – 5.1 in.)
2) Check measurement between booster mounting
surface and center of clevis pin hole. When booster
push rod clevis has been reinstalled, it is important
that the measurement is adjusted (refer to “Brake
Booster Inspection”).
3) Check brake light switch position. Adjust it if it is out
of specification.
4) Check pedal for dent.
5) Check brake booster for installation.6) Check brake booster push rod for length.
Brake Pedal Play InspectionS6RW0D4106002
Pedal play should be within the following specification. If
out of specification, check brake light switch for proper
installation position and adjust if necessary.
Also check pedal shaft bolt and booster clevis pin
installation for looseness and replace if defective.
Brake pedal play
“a”
: 1 – 8 mm (0.04 – 0.31 in.)
Excessive Pedal Travel InspectionS6RW0D4106003
1) Start engine.
2) Depress brake pedal a few times.
3) With brake pedal depressed with approximately 300
N (30 kg, 66 lbs) load, measure brake pedal to wall
(dash panel silencer) clearance “a”. If clearance is
out of specification, possible causes are as follows.
If clearance “a” is less than specification, the most
possible cause is that air is in lines or brake fluid
leakage.
Should clearance “a” remain less than specification
even after bleeding of system, other possible but
infrequent cause is malfunction of booster push rod
length out of adjustment.
• Bleed brake system. Refer to “Air Bleeding of
Brake System”.
