PROCEDURE
INSPECT AND ADJUST BRAKE PEDAL HEIGHT
Remove the No. 1 air duct.
Check the brake pedal height.
Note
Inspect and adjust the brake pedal height with the floor carpet folded back.
When performing the measurement, make sure that the measuring device is contacting the surface of the dash panel insulator assembly clip.
Measure the shortest distance between the brake pedal pad surface and dash panel insulator assembly clip.

INSPECT BRAKE PEDAL FREE PLAY
| *a | Brake Pedal Free Play |
Depress the brake pedal until a slight resistance is felt. Measure the brake pedal free play as shown in the illustration.
| Brake Pedal Free Play |
|---|
| 1.0 to 6.0 mm (0.0394 to 0.236 in.) |
If the pedal free play is not as specified, check the stop light switch clearance.
If the pedal free play is as specified, proceed to the Inspect Brake Pedal Reserve Distance procedure.
INSPECT BRAKE PEDAL RESERVE DISTANCE
With the engine running, 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 | Floor Panel |
| *c | 30 mm (1.18 in.) | *d | Line Extended from Floor Panel Surface |
| Brake Pedal Reserve Distance from Line Extended from Floor Panel Surface at 300 N (31 kgf, 67.4 lbf) |
|---|
| 115.0 mm (4.53 in.) or more |
If the distance is not as specified, troubleshoot the brake system.
