        Push rod length
        148.6 to 149.6 mm (5.86 to 5.88 in.)

      4. Tighten the lock nut.

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

      5. Install the brake booster assembly Click here.


        • If the pedal height is incorrect even when the push rod length is adjusted, check the brake pedal support assembly and dash panel.

        • If necessary, replace the brake pedal support assembly.

      6. Install the stop light switch assembly Click here.

    3. After adjusting the pedal height, check the brake pedal free play.

      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 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.

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

      Pedal reserve distance from the floor panel at 500 N (51 kgf, 112 lbf)
      More than 96 mm (3.78 in.)

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