PEDAL STROKE
• When parking brake pedal is operated with the specified forc e, make sure the stroke is within the specified
number of notches. Check by listening and counting the ratchet clicks.
INSPECTION
• Make sure the components are attached pr operly, checking for looseness or backlash.
• Check parking brake pedal assembly for bends, damage and cracks, and replace if necessary.
• Check cable for wear and damage, and replace if necessary.
• Check parking brake warning lamp switch for malfunction, and replace if necessary. Refer to BCS-36, "
Diag-
nosis Procedure".
ADJUSTMENT
1. Remove the lower instrument panel LH. Refer to IP-14, "Exploded View".
2. Partially engage parking brake pedal to access adjusting nut.
3. Insert a deep socket wrench to rotate adjusting nut and loosen cable sufficiently. Then, disengage the parking brake pedal.
4. Remove the wheel and tire using power tool.
5. Remove the disc rotor and measure inner diameter at widest point using Tool.
6. Transfer measurement less 0.6 mm to the parking brake shoes and adjust accordingly.
7. Using wheel nuts, secure the disc rotor to the hub to prevent it from tilting.
8. Rotate the disc rotor to make sure there is no drag.
9. Adjust cable as follows:
a. Operate pedal 10 or more times with a force of 490 N (50 kg-f, 110 lb-f).
b. Rotate adjusting nut with deep socket to adjust pedal stroke to specification.
c. With parking brake pedal completely disengaged, make sure there is no drag on the parking brake.
10. Install the disc rotor.
11. Install the wheel and tire using power tool. Pedal stroke : 3 −
4 notches [under force of 196 N (20.0 kg-f, 44.1 lb-f)]

PARKING BRAKE SHOE
• Check thickness of lining.
Disc Rotor Inner Diameter Inspection
• Check inner diameter insi de drum area of disc rotor.
Other Inspections
• Check shoe sliding surface on back plate for excessive wear and damage.
• Check anti-rattle pins for excessive wear and corrosion.
• Check return springs for sagging.
• Check adjuster for rough operation.
• When disassembling adjuster, apply PBC (Poly Butyl Cuprysil) grease or equivalent to the threads.
• Check either visually or with a vernier caliper to see if there is any excessive wear, cracks, or damage inside
drum area of disc rotor.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• Refer to PB-9, "
Removal and Installation" and apply brake grease to the specified points during assembly.
• Assemble adjuster so that threaded part expands when rotating it in the direction shown by the arrow.
• Shorten adjuster by rotating it.
NOTE:
After replacing brake shoes or disc rotors, or if brakes do not func-
tion well, perform break-in operation as follows.
1. Adjust parking brake pedal stroke. Refer to PB-5, "
On-Vehicle
Service".
CAUTION:
• To prevent lining from getting too hot, allow a cool off period
of approximately 5 minutes after every break-in operation.
• Do not perform excessive break-in operations, because it may
cause uneven or early wear of lining.
2. Perform parking brake burnishing operation by driving the vehicle forward under the following conditions:
3. After burnishing operation, check pedal stroke of parki ng brake. Readjust if it is no longer at the specified
stroke. Refer to PB-5, "
On-Vehicle Service".
