2. INSPECT BRAKE PEDAL FREE PLAY

   
   

   1. Stop the engine and firmly depress the brake pedal several times until no vacuum is left in the brake booster assembly.

   2. 

      *a	Brake Pedal Free Play

      Depress the brake pedal until a slight resistance is felt. Measure the distance as shown in the illustration.

      Brake Pedal Free Play

      If the brake pedal free play is as specified, proceed to the Inspect Brake Pedal Reserve Distance procedure.

3. INSPECT BRAKE PEDAL RESERVE DISTANCE

   
   

   1. With the engine running, depress the brake pedal and measure the brake pedal reserve distance as shown in the illustration.

      

      *1	Brake Pedal Pad	*2	Front Floor Footrest
