BRAKE BOOSTER

Inspection

INFOID:0000000009949206

OPERATION

Depress the brake pedal several times at 5-second intervals with the engine stopped. Start the engine with the
brake pedal fully depressed. Check that the clearance between brake pedal and dash lower panel decreases.

AIR TIGHT

Run the engine for 1 minute to apply vacuum to the brake booster, and stop the engine. Then depress the
brake pedal several times at 5-second intervals until the accumulated vacuum is released to atmospheric
pressure. Check that the clearance between brake pedal and dash lower panel gradually increases each
time the brake pedal is depressed when performing this operation.

Depress the brake pedal with the engine running. Then stop the engine while holding down the brake
pedal. Check that the brake pedal stroke does not change after holding down the brake pedal for 30 sec-
onds or more.

BRAKE PAD

BRAKE PAD : Inspection and Adjustment

INFOID:0000000009949207

INSPECTION

Check brake pad wear thickness from an inspection hole on cylinder
body. Check using a scale if necessary.

ADJUSTMENT

Burnish contact surfaces between pads according to the following procedure after refinishing or replacing
pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.

CAUTION:

• Be careful of vehicle speed because the brake does not operate firmly/securely until pads and disc

rotor are securely fitted.

• Only perform this procedure under safe road and traffic conditions. Use extreme caution.
1.

Drive vehicle on straight, flat road.

Depress brake pedal with the power to stop vehicle within 3 to 5 seconds until the vehicle stops.

Drive without depressing brake for a few minutes to cool the brake.

Repeat steps 1 to 3 until pad and disc rotor are securely fitted.

DISC ROTOR

DISC ROTOR : Inspection and Adjustment

INFOID:0000000009949208

INSPECTION

Appearance

Check surface of disc rotor for uneven wear, cracks, and serious damage. Replace it if necessary. Refer to

BR-35, "BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY : Removal and Installation"

Runout

Fix the disc rotor to the wheel hub and bearing assembly with
wheel nuts (2 points at least).

Check the wheel bearing axial end play before the inspection.
Refer to

FAX-7, "Inspection"

Inspect the runout with a dial indicator to measure at 10 mm
(0.39 in) inside the disc edge.

Find the installation position that has a minimum runout by shift-
ing the disc rotor-to-wheel hub and bearing assembly installation
position by one hole at a time if the runout exceeds the limit
value.

Refinish the disc rotor if the runout is outside the limit even after performing the above operation. [When
refinishing, use the Pro-Cut PEM On-Car brake Lathe (Tool No. 38-PFM90.5) or equivalent.]

CAUTION:

• Check in advance that the thickness of the disc rotor is wear thickness + 0.3 mm (0.012 in) or

more.

< PERIODIC MAINTENANCE >

• If the thickness is less than wear thickness + 0.3 mm (0.012 in), replace the disc rotor.

Thickness

Check the thickness of the disc rotor using a micrometer. Replace
the disc rotor if the thickness is below the wear limit. Refer to

BR-35,

"BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY : Removal and Installation"

ADJUSTMENT

Burnish contact surfaces between disc rotors and pads according to the following procedure after refinishing
or replacing disc rotor, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.

CAUTION:

• Be careful of vehicle speed because the brake does not operate firmly/securely until pad and disc

rotor are securely fitted.

• Only perform this procedure under safe road and traffic conditions. Use extreme caution.

Drive vehicle on straight, flat road.

Depress brake pedal with the power to stop vehicle within 3 to 5 seconds until the vehicle stops.
