PRECAUTIONS
5. When the repair work is completed, return the ignition switch to the ″LOCK ″ position before connecting
the battery cables. (At this time, the steering lock mechanism will engage.)
6. Perform a self-diagnosis check of a ll control units using CONSULT-III.
Precaution for Brake SystemINFOID:0000000001604475
• Always use recommended brake fluid. Refer to MA-12, "Fluids and Lubricants".
• Do not reuse drained brake fluid.
• Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas.
• To clean or wash all parts of master cylinder, disc brake caliper and wheel cylinder, use clean brake fluid.
• Do not use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene. They will ruin rubber parts of the hydraulic system.
• Use flare nut wrench when removing and installing brake tube.
• Always check tightening torque when installing brake lines.
• Before working, turn ignition switch to OFF and disconnect con- nectors for ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) or battery
terminals.
• Burnish the brake contact surfaces after refinishing or replacing drums or rotors, after replacing pads or linings, or if a soft pedal
occurs at very low mileage. Refer to BR-35, "
Brake Burnishing
Procedure".
WARNING:
• Clean brake pads and shoes wi th a waste cloth, then wipe
with a dust collector.

CAUTION:
• All hoses and piping (tubes) must be fr ee from excessive bending, twisting and pulling.
• Make sure there is no interference with other parts when turning the steering wheel both clockwise
and counterclockwise.
• The brake piping is an important safety part. If a brake fluid leak is detected, always disassemble the
parts. Replace applicable part with a new one, if necessary.
• Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is
splashed on painted areas, wash it away with water immediately.
• Do not bend or twist brake hose sharply, or strongly pull it.
• When removing components, cover connections so that no dirt, dust, or other foreign matter gets in.
• Refill with new specified brake fluid. Refer to MA-12, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
• Do not reuse drained brake fluid.

INSPECTION
1. Inspect the brake pedal free height (H) from the floor using Tool at a 90 ° angle to the floor as shown.
2. Adjust the brake pedal height to specifications. CAUTION:
When equipped with adjustable pedal, the pedal must be in
the forward most (closest to th e floor) position for pedal
height measurement.

2. Loosen lock nut (A) on the input rod, then turn input rod to adjustthe brake pedal to the specified height. When finished adjusting,
tighten the lock nut (A) to specification.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the screw portion of the end of input rod is
located inside the clevis.
3. With the brake pedal pulled up and held by hand, press the stop lamp switch and the ASCD cancel switch in until the threaded
ends contact the brake pedal bracket.
4. With the threaded ends of the stop lamp switch and ASCD switch contacting the pedal bracket, turn the switches 45 ° clock-
wise to lock in place. Check that the stop lamp switch and ASCD
cancel switch threaded end to brake pedal bracket gap (C) is
within specifications.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the gap (C) between the brake pedal bracket
and stop lamp switch and ASCD cancel switch threaded
ends are within specification.
5. Check the brake pedal for smooth operation. CAUTION:
Make sure that the stop lamp goes off when the brake pedal
is released.
6. Start the engine and check the height of the brake pedal when depressing it. Lock nut (A) : 18.7 N·m (1.9 kg-m, 14 ft-lb)

3. Disconnect the adjustable brake pedal cable from the adjustablepedal electric motor.
• Unlock (1) then pull (2) the adjustable brake pedal cable to dis-connect it from the adjustable pedal electric motor as shown.
4. Remove snap pin and clevis pin from the clevis of brake booster.
5. Remove brake pedal assembly nuts and remove the brake pedal assembly. • Temporarily install the brake pedal assembly nuts by hand to support the brake booster.
WARNING:
Do not bend the brake tubing.
CAUTION:
• Before removal and installation, the accelerator and brake pedals must be in the forward mostposition (closest to the floor). This is to align the base position of the accelerator and brake ped-
als.
• Do not disassemble the brake pedal adjusting mechanism.
• Avoid damage from dropping th e brake pedal assembly during handling.
• Keep the brake pedal assembly away from water.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Check the brake pedal assembly for the following items:
• Crack or deformation of clevis pin stopper
• Clevis pin deformation
• Crack of any welded portion of the brake pedal assembly
• Brake pedal bend or deformation
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• Check the brake pedal for smooth operation. Ther e should be no binding or sticking when applying or
releasing the brake pedal.
• Check the brake pedal adjustable feature for smooth operation. There should be no binding or sticking when adjusting the brake pedal forward or backward.
• After installing the brake pedal assembly, be sure to adjust it. Refer to BR-15, "
Inspection and Adjustment".
