ADJUSTMENT
1. Loosen the stop lamp switch (2) and ASCD cancel switch (1) by turning each counterclockwise by 45 °.
2. Loosen clevis lock nut (1) on the input rod (2), then turn input rod to adjust the brake pedal height to specification. Tighten cle-
vis lock nut (1) to specification.
CAUTION:
• Check the height with the floor trim removed.
• The threaded end of the input rod (2) must project to the
inner side (L) of the clevis (3).
3. With the pedal pulled up and held by hand, press the stop lamp switch (1) and ASCD cancel switch (2) until the threaded end
contacts the brake pedal bracket.
4. With the threaded end of the stop lamp switch (1) and ASCD cancel switch (2) contacting the brake pedal bracket, rotate the
switch clockwise by 45 ° to secure.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the clearance (C) between brake pedal
bracket and end of stop lamp switch (1) and ASCD cancel
switch (2) is within the standard. Refer to BR-48, "Brake
Pedal".
5. Check the brake pedal for smooth operation. CAUTION:
Make sure that stop lamps are off when the brake pedal is released.
