Brake Pedal Assy: Testing and Inspection

Brake Pedal Height Check:

1. Check pedal height.
Pedal height from asphalt sheet: 150.4-160.4 mm (5.921-6.315 inch)
2. IF necessary, adjust pedal height. Adjustments

Checking Brake Pedal Freeplay:

3. Check pedal freeplay.
(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 beginning of the second point of 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. It is 1-3 mm (0.04-0.12 inch) on the pedal.
^ If incorrect, check the Stop Light Switch clearance. If the clearance is OK, then troubleshoot the brake system.

Checking Brake Pedal Reserve Distance:

4. Check pedal reserve distance.
(a) Release the Parking Brake.
(b) With the engine running, depress the pedal and measure the pedal reserve distance, as shown.
^ Pedal reserve distance from asphalt sheet at 490 N (50 kg, 110.2 lbs.): More than 89 mm (3.50 inch)
(c) If the reserve distance incorrect, troubleshoot the brake system.
