BRAKE PEDAL
ON–VEHICLE INSPECTION
1.
CHECK PEDAL HEIGHT
Pedal height from dash panel:
151.1 – 165.1 mm (5.949 – 6.500 in.)
NOTICE:
Do not adjust the pedal height. Doing so by changing the
push rod length of the brake booster will structurally
change the pedal ratio.
If the pedal height is incorrect, check that there is no damage
in brake pedal, brake pedal lever, brake pedal bracket and dash
panel.
Even if there is damage, there is no problem if the
reserve distance is within the standard value.
If necessary, replace them.
2.
IF NECESSARY, ADJUST STOP LIGHT SWITCH
(a)
Remove the front door scuff plate, cowl side trim, side
panel, lower finish panel and No. 2 heater to register duct
(See page
BO–89
).
(b)
Loosen the stop light switch lock nut.
(c)
Push the brake pedal in 5 – 15 mm (0.20 – 0.59 in.), turn
the stop light switch to lock the nut in the position where
the stop light goes off.
(d)
Push the brake pedal in 5 –15 mm (0.20 – 0.59 in.), check
that the stop light lights up.
(e)
Install the No. 2 heater to register duct, lower finish panel,
side panel, cowl side trim and front door scuff plate (See
page
BO–89
).
3.
CHECK PEDAL FREE PLAY
(a)
Stop the engine and depress the brake pedal several
times until there is no more vacuum left in the booster.
(b)
Push in the pedal by hand until the second point of resis-
tance begins to be felt, then measure the distance as
shown in the illustration.
Pedal free play: 1 – 6 mm (0.04 – 0.24 in.)
HINT:
The free play to the first point of resistance is due to the play
between the clevis and pin. It is 1 – 3 mm (0.04 – 0.12 in.) at the
pedal.
If incorrect, check the stop light switch clearance. If the clear-
ance is OK, then troubleshoot the brake system.
Stop light switch clearance:
0.5 – 2.4 mm (0.020 – 0.095 in.)
