Brake Pedal Travel

1. With the engine "RUNNING" and transaxle in "PARK" or "NEUTRAL", block wheels and release parking brake.
2. Install the Rotunda Car Gauge 014-R1OS1 or equivalent.
3. Hook a steel measuring tape to the brake pedal. Measure and record the distance from the brake pedal free height position to a reference point, which is at the six o'clock position on the steering wheel rim.
4. With the steel tape still hooked to the brake pedal, depress the brake pedal by pressing downward on the brake pedal effort gauge. Apply a 111 N (25 lb) load to the center of the brake pedal. Maintain the pedal load and measure the distance from the brake pedal to the fixed reference point on the steering wheel rim parallel to the centerline of the steering column.
5. The difference between the brake pedal free height and the depressed pedal measurement under a 111 Nm (25 lb) load should be 79 mm (3.1-inch) maximum.
6. If the brake travel in not within specification, bleed the brake system. Refer To Brakes - Service and Repair. Service and Repair
