Brake Pedal Assy: Adjustments

BRAKE PEDAL INSPECTION

Brake Pedal Height Inspection:

Check Pedal Height
Pedal height from asphalt sheet: 152.0-162.0 mm (5.984-6.378 inch)

If Necessary, Adjust Pedal Height
1. Disconnect the connector from the Stop Light Switch.
2. Loosen the Stop Light Switch lock nut and remove the stop light switch.
3. Loosen the push rod lock nut.
4. Adjust the pedal height by turning the pedal push rod.
5. Tighten the push rod lock nut.
Torque: 25 Nm (260 kg.cm, 19 ft. lbs.)
6. Install the Stop Light Switch and turn it until it lightly contacts the pedal stopper.
7. Turn the Stop Light Switch back one turn.

Stop Light Switch Adjustment:

8. Check the clearance (A) between the Stop Light Switch and pedal.
Clearance: 0.5-2.4 mm (0.020-0.094 inch)
9. Tighten the Stop Light Switch lock nut.
10. Connect the connector to the Stop Light Switch.
11. Check that the stop lights come on when the Brake Pedal is depressed, and go off when the Brake Pedal is released.
12. After adjusting the pedal height, check the pedal free play.

NOTE: If clearance (A) between the stop light switch and the pedal stopper has been adjusted correctly, the pedal freeplay will meet the specifications.

Brake Pedal Freeplay:

Check Pedal Freeplay
^ Stop the engine and depress the Brake Pedal several times until there is no more vacuum left in the Booster.
^ Push in the pedal by hand until the beginning of the resistance is felt, then measure the distance.
Pedal freeplay: 1-6 mm (0.04-0.24 inch)

NOTE:
^ The freeplay to the 1st resistance is due to the play between the clevis and pin. This is magnified up to 1-6 mm (0.04-0.24 inch) at the pedal.
^ If incorrect, check the Stop Light Switch clearance. If the clearance is OK, then troubleshoot the brake system.

Brake Pedal Reserve Distance Test:

Check Pedal Reserve Distance
1. Release the Parking Brake.
2. With the engine running, depress the pedal and measure the pedal reserve distance, as shown.
3. Set pedal reserve distance from asphalt sheet at 490 N (50 kg, 110.2 lbs.): More than 70 mm (2.76 inch)

NOTE: If the reserve distance incorrect, troubleshoot the brake system.
