PROCEDURE
INSPECT AND ADJUST BRAKE PEDAL HEIGHT
Remove the front door scuff plate LH.
Remove the front door opening trim cover LH.
Remove the front door No. 2 opening trim cover LH.
Remove the No. 1 instrument panel under cover sub-assembly.
Check the brake pedal height.
Tech Tips
Inspect and adjust the brake pedal height with the floor carpet folded back.
Measure the shortest distance between the brake pedal pad surface and front floor footrest as shown in the illustration.
| *1 | Brake Pedal Pad | - | - |
| *a | Brake Pedal Height | *b | Measuring Plane of Front Floor Footrest |
| *c | 30 mm (1.18 in.) | - | - |
| Brake Pedal Height from Front Floor Footrest |
|---|
| 193.7 to 203.7 mm (7.63 to 8.01 in.) |
If the brake pedal height is not as specified, inspect and adjust the push rod length according to the procedure below.
Adjust the push rod length.
w/ VGRS:
Remove the steering actuator assembly.
w/o VGRS:
Remove the No. 2 steering intermediate shaft assembly.
| *1 | Lock Nut |
| *2 | Stop Light Switch Assembly |
| *a | Brake Pedal Height |
Remove the stop light switch assembly.
Loosen the lock nut and adjust the brake pedal height by turning the push rod to achieve the correct height.
| Brake Pedal Height from Front Floor Footrest |
|---|
| 193.7 to 203.7 mm (7.63 to 8.01 in.) |
Tighten the lock nut.
Install the stop light switch assembly.
w/ VGRS:
Install the steering actuator assembly.
w/o VGRS:
Install the No. 2 steering intermediate shaft assembly.
Install the No. 1 instrument panel under cover sub-assembly.
Install the front door No. 2 opening trim cover LH.
Install the front door opening trim cover LH.
Install the front door scuff plate LH.
INSPECT AND ADJUST BRAKE PEDAL STROKE SENSOR ASSEMBLY
Inspect the brake pedal stroke sensor assembly.
Connect the GTS to the DLC3 with the engine switch off.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Turn the GTS on and enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRAC / Data List / Stroke Sensor.
| Tester Display |
|---|
| Stroke Sensor |
Read the stroke sensor value without the brake pedal depressed.
| Standard Voltage (without the brake pedal depressed) |
|---|
| 0.8 to 1.2 V |
If the stroke sensor value is not within the standard voltage, adjust the brake pedal stroke sensor assembly.
Adjust the brake pedal stroke sensor assembly.
w/ VGRS:
Remove the steering actuator assembly.
Loosen the 2 nuts.
Note
Do not depress the brake pedal after turning the engine switch on (IG).
Read the stroke sensor value in the Data List, and turn the brake pedal stroke sensor assembly slowly to the right or left to adjust the output voltage so that it is within the following range.
| Standard Voltage (without the brake pedal depressed) |
|---|
| 0.8 to 1.2 V |
Tighten the 2 nuts.
w/ VGRS:
Install the steering actuator assembly.
Perform initialization and calibration of the linear solenoid valve.
Turn the GTS off and turn the engine switch off.
Disconnect the GTS.
INSPECT BRAKE PEDAL FREE PLAY
| *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 |
|---|
| 1.0 to 6.0 mm (0.0394 to 0.236 in.) |
If the brake pedal free play is not as specified, check the stop light switch clearance.
If the brake pedal free play is as specified, proceed to the Inspect Brake Pedal Reserve Distance procedure.
INSPECT BRAKE PEDAL RESERVE DISTANCE
With the engine switch on (READY), depress the brake pedal and measure the brake pedal reserve distance as shown in the illustration.
| *1 | Brake Pedal Pad | - | - |
| *a | Brake Pedal Reserve Distance | *b | Measuring Plane of Front Floor Footrest |
| *c | 30 mm (1.18 in.) | - | - |
| Brake Pedal Reserve Distance from Front Floor Footrest at 490 N (50 kgf, 110.2 lbf) |
|---|
| 132 mm (5.20 in.) or more |
If the distance is not as specified, troubleshoot the brake system.
