Brake Pedal Assy: Adjustments

PEDAL HEIGHT
- Disconnect the brake switch connector, loosen the brake switch locknut, and back off the brake switch until it is no longer touching the brake pedal.





- Turn up the floor mat. At the insulator cutout, measure the pedal height from the left side center of the pedal pad.

Pushrod Locknut Adjustment:

- Loosen the pushrod locknut, and screw the pushrod in or out with pliers until the standard pedal height from the floor is reached. After adjustment, tighten the locknut firmly.

NOTE: Do not adjust the pedal height with the pushrod depressed.

Brake Lamp Switch Adjustment:

- Screw in the brake switch until its plunger is fully depressed (threaded end touching the pad on the pedal arm). Then back off the switch 1/4 turn to make 0.3 mm (0.01 in) of clearance between the threaded end and pad. Tighten the locknut firmly. Connect the brake switch connector.

CAUTION: Make sure that the brake lights go off when the pedal is released.

- Check the brake pedal free play as described below.

PEDAL FREE PLAY

- With the engine off, inspect the play on the pedal pad by pushing the pedal by hand.

Free Play: 1-5 mm (1/16-13/64 in)





- If the pedal free play is out of specification, adjust the brake switch.

CAUTION: If the pedal free play is insufficient, it may result in brake drag.
