BRAKE PEDAL(for LHD) ADJUSTMENT

PROCEDURE


  1. INSPECT AND ADJUST BRAKE PEDAL HEIGHT

    Tech Tips

    Inspect and adjust the brake pedal height with the floor carpet folded back.


    1. Check the brake pedal height.


      1. A01FO81C01
        *a Clevis Lock Nut
        *b Stop Light Switch Assembly Lock Nut
        *c Floor Panel
        *d Brake Pedal Height

        Measure the shortest distance between the brake pedal pad surface and floor panel.

        Brake Pedal Height from Floor Panel
        158.4 to 168.4 mm (6.24 to 6.62 in.)

        If the brake pedal height is not as specified, inspect and adjust the push rod length according to the procedure below.

    2. Adjust the push rod length.


      1. Disconnect the connector from the stop light switch assembly.

      2. Loosen the stop light switch assembly lock nut, and then turn the stop light switch assembly to allow for brake pedal free play.

      3. Loosen the clevis lock nut and adjust the brake pedal height by turning the push rod to achieve the correct height.

        Brake Pedal Height from Floor Panel
        158.4 to 168.4 mm (6.24 to 6.62 in.)

      4. Tighten the clevis lock nut.

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

      5. Install the stop light switch assembly.

  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.

      *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.

  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.

    2. With the engine running, depress the brake pedal and measure the brake pedal reserve distance.

      Brake Pedal Reserve Distance from Floor Panel at 500 N (51 kgf, 112.4 lbf)
      112 mm (4.41 in.) or more

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