INSPECTION
Brake Pedal Height
Check the brake pedal height (H1) between the dash lower panel (1)
and the brake pedal upper surface.
CAUTION:
Perform it with the floor trim removed.
Stop Lamp Switch and Brake Switch
Check the clearance (C) between the brake pedal bracket (1) and
the stop lamp switch and brake switch (2) threaded end.
CAUTION:
The stop lamp must turn off when the brake pedal is released.
NOTE:
Pull the brake pedal pad to make the clearance between the stop
lamp switch and brake switch threaded end and the brake pedal
bracket.
Brake Pedal Play
Press the brake pedal. Check the brake pedal play (A) (stroke until
fluid pressure occurs).
Depressed Brake Pedal Height
Check the height between the dash lower panel (1) and the top face
of the brake pedal (H
2) when depressing the brake pedal with a force
of 490 N (50 kg, 110 lb) while the engine is running.
CAUTION:
Perform it with the floor trim removed.

4. Press-fit the stop lamp switch and brake switch (2) until the stop
lamp switch and brake switch hits the brake pedal bracket (1)
45 ° clockwise while pulling the brake pedal pad slightly.
CAUTION:
 The clearance (C) between the brake pedal bracket and stop lamp switch and brake switch threaded end and
must be the specified value.
 The stop lamp must turn off when the brake pedal is released.
Depressed Brake Pedal Height

BRAKE FLUID
BRAKE FLUID
InspectionINFOID:0000000006222463
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL
 Check that the fluid level in the reservoir tank is within the specified range (MAX – MIN lines).
CAUTION:
Turn OFF the ignition switch an d depress the brake pedal 20 times or more to check brake fluid level.
NOTE:
Since brake fluid is in the accumulator in pressurized condition, the reservoir tank brake fluid level should be
lower than the MAX line.
 Visually check for any brake fluid leakage around the reservoir tank.
 Check the brake system for any leakage if the fl uid level is extremely low (lower than MIN).
 Check the brake system for fluid leakage if the warn ing lamp remains illuminated even after the parking
brake is released.
 Check the reservoir tank for the mixing of foreign matter (e.g. dust) and oils other than brake fluid.
BRAKE LINE
1. Check brake line (tubes and hoses) for cracks, deterioration or other damage. Replace any damaged
parts.
2. Depress the brake pedal with a force of 490 N (50 kg, 110 lb) and hold down the pedal for approx. 5 seconds with the engine
running. Check for any fluid leakage.
CAUTION:
Retighten the applicable conn ection to the specified torque
and repair any abnormal (damag ed, worn or deformed) part
if any brake fluid leakage is present.
DrainingINFOID:0000000006222464
FRONT BRAKE
CAUTION:
 If the brake fluid adheres to the brake caliper assembly and disc rotor, quickly wipe it off.
 Never spill or splash brake fluid on painted surfaces. Brake fluid may seriously damage paint. Wipe it
off immediately and wash with wate r if it gets on a painted surface.
 Never operate the brake pedal with the reservoir cap removed. Failure to do this may cause the scat-
tering of brake fluid.
 Never operate the brake pedal excessively during the work procedure.
1. Turn the ignition switch ON.
2. Connect a vinyl tube to the bleed valve.
3. Depress the brake pedal and loosen the bleeder valve.
4. Depress the brake pedal several time gradually discharge brake fluid.

HYDRAULIC BOOSTER ASSEMBLY
InspectionINFOID:0000000006222467
OPERATION CHECK
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Depress the brake pedal 20 times or more. NOTE:
The pressure loss in the accumulator results in a large brake pedal stroke. In addition to this, the brake
pedal depression becomes lighter in initial stage.
3. Check that the fluid level in the reservoir tank is MAX line.
4. Position the selector lever in P range to release the parking brake.
5. Turn the ignition switch ON to check the time between motor activation and motor stop.
6. After the motor is stopped, check that the ABS warning lamp and the VDC warning lamp in the combina- tion meter are OFF when the engine is started.
7. Stop the engine (ignition switch OFF).
8. Turn the ignition switch ON and depress the brake pedal 4 to 5 times to check the time between motor activation and motor stop.
9. Turn the ignition switch OFF. Turn the ignition switch ON again. Check that the VDC warning lamp turns ON when the brake pedal is depressed 15 to 20 times.
10. Check that the VDC warning lamp turns ON when the brake pedal is depressed 15 to 20 times after the lapse of 120 seconds or more after the ignition switch is turned ON again.
11. Perform the self-diagnosis for “ABS” with CONSULT-III and erase self-diagnosis results.
FUNCTION CHECK
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Depress the brake pedal 20 times or more.
NOTE:
The pressure loss in the accumulator results in a large brake pedal stroke. In addition to this, the brake
pedal depression becomes lighter in initial stage.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON with the brake pedal depr essed to check that the clearance between the brake
pedal and the dash lower panel decreases. Motor operating time : 18 seconds or less
Motor operating time : 2
− 11 seconds

BRAKE PIPING
Never reuse the copper washer.
3. Install the brake hose L-pin by aligning it with the brake caliper assembly positioning hole, and tighten the union bolt (1) to the
specified torque.
4. Install the brake tube to the brake hose, temporarily tighten the flare nut by hand until it does not rotate further, and fix the brake
hose to the bracket with the lock plate.
CAUTION:
Check that all brake hose or brake tube are not twisted and
bent.
5. Tighten the flare nut to the specified torque with a crowfoot and torque wrench.
CAUTION:
Never scratch the flare nut and the brake tube.
6. Tighten the brake hose mounting nuts to the specified torque. CAUTION:
Never reuse the brake hose mounting nuts.
7. Perform the air bleeding. Refer to BR-11, "
Bleeding Brake System".
8. Install tires with power tool. Refer to WT-64, "
Exploded View".
9. Perform inspection after installation. Refer to BR-24, "
FRONT : Inspection".
FRONT : InspectionINFOID:0000000006222478
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
1. Check the brake hoses and tubes for the following: no scratches; no twist and deformation; no interfer-
ence with other components when steering the steering wheel; no looseness at connections.
2. Depress the brake pedal with a force of 785 N (80 kg, 176 lb) and hold down the pedal for approx. 5 sec- onds with the engine running. Check for any fluid leakage.
CAUTION:
Retighten the applicable connection to the specified torque and repair any abnormal (damaged,
worn or deformed) part if any brake fluid leakage is present.
