Brake Pedal Freeplay





CHECK PEDAL FREEPLAY
a. Stop the engine and depress the brake pedal more than 40 times until there is no more pressure left in the booster.
b. Push in the pedal by hand until the second point of resistance begins to be felt, then measure the distance, as shown.
Pedal freeplay: 0.2 - 2.0 mm (0.008 - 0.079 inch)
If incorrect, check the stop light switch clearance. If the clearance is OK, then troubleshoot the brake system.
Stop light switch clearance: 0.5 - 2.4 mm (0.020 - 0.094 inch)

HINT: The freeplay to the 1st point of resistance is due to the play between the clevis and pin. It is 0.2 - 2.0 mm (0.008 - 0.079 inch) on the pedal.
