        *1 Stop Light Switch Assembly
        *2 Clevis Lock Nut
        *3 Front Floor Footrest (for LHD)
        No. 2 Dash Panel Insulator Pad (for RHD)
        *a Brake Pedal Height

        Turn back the carpet.

      2. Measure the shortest distance between the brake pedal surface and front floor footrest (for LHD) or No. 2 dash panel insulator pad (for RHD).

        Pedal height (for LHD: from front floor footrest, for RHD: No. 2 dash panel insulator pad)
        Model Specified Condition
        LHD 148.8 to 158.8 mm (5.858 to 6.252 in.)
        RHD 165.9 to 175.9 mm (6.531 to 6.925 in.)

    2. Adjust the brake pedal height.


      1. Disconnect the stop light switch connector.

      2. Remove the stop light switch assembly.

      3. Loosen the push rod clevis lock nut.

      4. Adjust the brake pedal height by turning the push rod.

      5. Tighten the push rod clevis lock nut.

        Torque:
        26 N*m  { 265 kgf*cm, 19 ft.*lbf }

      6. Install and adjust the stop light switch Click here.

        Note

        Do not depress the brake pedal.

      7. Connect the stop light switch connector.

  2. INSPECT BRAKE PEDAL FREE PLAY


    1. A017EEIE01

      Stop the engine. Depress the pedal several times until no vacuum is left in the brake booster. Release the brake pedal.

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

      Pedal free play
      1.0 to 6.0 mm (0.039 to 0.236 in.)

      If the pedal free play is not as specified, check the stop light switch clearance Click here. If the pedal free play is as specified, proceed to the "INSPECT BRAKE PEDAL RESERVE DISTANCE" procedure.

  3. INSPECT BRAKE PEDAL RESERVE DISTANCE

    Tech Tips

    Measure the distance at the same point used for the brake pedal height inspection.


    1. Release the parking brake.

      *1 Front Floor Footrest (for LHD)
      No. 2 Dash Panel Insulator Pad (for RHD)
      *a Pedal Reserve Distance

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

      Pedal reserve distance at 500 N (51 kgf, 112 lbf) (for LHD: from front floor footrest, for RHD: from No. 2 dash panel insulator pad)
      Model Specified Condition
      LHD 84.4 mm (3.32 in.)
      RHD 97.8 mm (3.85 in.)

      If the distance is not as specified, troubleshoot the brake system Click here.
