Brake Pedal
Components
Areas of Importance
1. During removal, all components should be gently handled to avoid knocking, especially the junction
surface. All components should be placed in order to avoid losing or taking the w\
rong parts.
2. Keep all parts clean and free of dust, scuffs, rust, corrosion, oil build-up, or any other contaminants.
3. All rubbing surfaces in a relative motion must be coated with lubricant\
.
4. During installation, strictly adhere to the standard torque for installi\
ng nuts.
5. While installing the return spring, be careful to avoid operator injury \
from it bouncing back.

2. Install the pedal pad and limiting stopper to the pedal
lever.
3. Apply lubricant on the inner bushing and the outer
pedal shaft. Install the pedal lever assembly, pedal
shaft, and brake pedal bracket welding assembly.
4. Put on a nut, and tighten the nut and spring washer
using a 30 N·m torque.
Brake pedal examination and adjustment
1. Check if the pedal height is correct.
Height between pedal and the lower cowl panel: 109 mm
Pedal push rod's working empty stroke: 2 mm
2. Adjust pedal height if necessary.
(a) Disconnect the brake lamp's switch wire connector,
loosen the lock nuts, rotate the brake switch and
unscrew it until no contact with the brake pedal's
limiting stopper.
(b) Loosen the control rod lock nut and use combination
pliers to rotate the control rod and adjust the brake
pedal height to its standard value. After arriving at the
standard value, tighten the lock nut, and make sure the
working empty stroke of the pedal push rod is 2 mm.
(c) Rotate the brake lamp's switch and push it in until it
barely contacts with the brake pedal limiting stopper,
continue rotating 1/2-1 circle, then tighten the lock nut.
(d) Connect the brake lamp's switch wire connector.
(e) When the brake pedal is loose, the brake lamp should
be off.

3. Inspect the pedal free play.
When the engine is off, step on the brake pedal two to three
times, after the brake booster's influence is removed, push
the brake pedal by hand until resistance is felt, then measure
its movement (free play). Should satisfy standard value
regulation.
Pedal free play: 6-9 mm
4. Adjust pedal free play if necessary.
(a) If the stroke value is incorrect, rotate the pedal push
rod to adjust the free play.
(b) Start the engine to confirm the pedal free play.
(c) After adjusting the pedal free play, check the pedal
height.
(d) The relative height gap between the brake pedal and
the clutch pedal is 0-8 mm.
(e) The relative height gap between the brake pedal and
the accelerator pedal is 45±5 mm.
5. When the clearance between the brake pedal shaft
and the bushing is too big, one should remove and re-
place the pedal.
6. As shown, check if the pedal's remaining distance is
correct.

Vacuum Booster with Brake Cylinder Assembly
Components
Areas of Importance
1. The vacuum booster with brake cylinder assembly is tightly connected with the brake pedal assembly on
the cowl panel using four nuts. It is also connected with the brake pedal push rod via an center pin and
lock pin. Thus before removal of the assembly, first loosen the rigid pipe fitting with an open-end wrench,
disconnect the lock pin and center pin using pliers, loosen the four nuts, and then proceed with the booster.
2. Tighten the lock nuts on brake master cylinder and vacuum booster according to the specified torque,
and coat with signal paint.
3. Dimensions between the rear housing head face and the adjusting fork hole center is adjusted to
standard before it leaves factory. Please do not adjust it again.
4. The vacuum booster valve rod on the vehicle must be in a free state.
5. The brake master cylinder's working agent is DOT4 brake fluid. It must not be mixed with any other
brake fluid.

3. Remove the check valve assembly.
Pull out the check valve and valve seat from the vacuum
booster's front case as shown on the left.
Disassembling the vacuum booster with
brake cylinder assembly
1. Brake master pump removal.
Take down the lock nuts between the fixed brake master
pump and front case with a M13 sleeve, and then forcibly
pull out the brake master pump.
Caution: Do not lose the rectangular sealing ring.
2. Remove the brake reservoir assembly.
Push out the elastic cylindrical pin from the hole of the oil
cup’s foot with a suitably sized screwdriver, and then pull
out the oil cup from the pump in the direction as shown on
the left. If necessary to take off the brake reservoir cover,
twist it off manually.

3. Installing the ABS rear wheel speed sensor with brack-
et assembly.
Use three hexagon head bolts, spring washers, and flat
washer subassembly connecting pieces to connect the sensor
to the rear hub unit, rear twist beam, and vehicle body.
ABS General Problem Maintenance and Areas of Importance
Common problems and solutions
1. When braking, the ABS hydraulic pressure unit noise is overly loud.
When the ABS is working, the motor inside the hydraulic pressure unit is ceaselessly rotating. At this time the
driver can feel the brake pedal bouncing back. However, this bounce back feeling will be entirely different
depending on the speed and road condition. Also, when performing an actuator movement test, the sound of the
running motor may also be sensed. When the vehicle is being driven and the brake is off, the sound of the motor
running can still occasionally be heard. This is the ABS undergoing component inspection, not a malfunction.
If the ABS hydraulic pressure unit noise is irregular, a movement test can be initiated. Compare the noise to that
of normal vehicles to determine if ABS hydraulic pressure unit noise is abnormal.
2. Inlet and outlet solenoid valve failure.
Once the ignition switch is ON, the ABS control unit automatically initiates a self-check. If an inlet and outlet solenoid
valve short circuit or open circuit is found, it will record the failure, light up the fault light, and abort the operation. If using a
scanner to adjust the problem code, make sure to use the movement test t\
o confirm that the solenoid valve has a problem and
then replace the hydraulic pressure unit directly.
X431 data flow: While the ABS is functioning, the inlet and outlet solenoid valves rapidly change operating
conditions.

3. Wheel speed sensor malfunction.
With the engine running, use a oscilloscope to measure the voltage between the sensor's signal line and the
ground.
Output signal when wheel is stationary:
Output signal when the wheels are rotating: signal type is 0.44 V and 1.26 V square wave signal, duty cycle: 50: 50.
