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. Measure the shortest distance between the left edge of the brake pedal pad and reinforcement.

        *1 Brake Pedal Pad - -
        *a Brake Pedal Height *b Measuring Point of Reinforcement
        *c Dash Panel Insulator Slit *d 30 mm (1.18 in.)
        *e Reinforcement - -
        Brake Pedal Height from Reinforcement
        212 to 222 mm (8.35 to 8.74 in.)

        Note

        Insert a vernier caliper into the dash panel insulator slit until it contacts the vehicle body, and measure the brake pedal height.

        If the brake pedal height is not as specified, adjust the brake pedal height according to the procedure below.

    2. Adjust the brake pedal height.


      1. Remove the stop light switch assembly.

        *1 Clevis Lock Nut
        *2 Stop Light Switch Assembly
        *a Brake Pedal Height
        *b Reinforcement

        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 Reinforcement
        212 to 222 mm (8.35 to 8.74 in.)

      5. Tighten the clevis lock nut.

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

      6. Install the junction block assembly LH with main body ECU.

  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. B006MR3C04
      *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

    Note

    Measure the brake pedal reserve 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.

      B006QYAC01
      *1 Brake Pedal Pad - -
      *a Brake Pedal Reserve Distance *b Measuring Point of Reinforcement
      *c Dash Panel Insulator Slit *d 30 mm (1.18 in.)
      *e Reinforcement - -
      Brake Pedal Reserve Distance from Reinforcement at 490 N (50 kgf, 110.2 lbf)
      143 mm (5.63 in.) or more

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