  2. CHECK BRAKE PEDAL FREE PLAY

    A01J53ME01

    1. Stop the engine. Depress the pedal several times until there is no vacuum in the booster. Then release the pedal.

    2. Depress the pedal until resistance is felt.

    3. Check the pedal's free play by measuring the distance between the position in the previous step and the pedal's released position.

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

      If the free play is not as specified, check the switch clearance in the next step.

      If the free play is as specified, proceed to the "CHECK BRAKE PEDAL RESERVE DISTANCE" procedure.

    4. Check the switch clearance.

      Standard stop light switch clearance
      1.5 to 2.5 mm (0.059 to 0.098 in.)

      If the clearance is not as specified, adjust the clearance and recheck the pedal's free play.

      If the clearance is as specified, troubleshoot the brake system and proceed to the "CHECK BRAKE PEDAL RESERVE DISTANCE" procedure.

  3. CHECK BRAKE PEDAL RESERVE DISTANCE

    A01J3KHE01

    1. Release the parking brake lever. Start the engine.

    2. Depress the pedal and check the pedal reserve distance.


      1. Depress the pedal with a force of 490 N (50 kgf, 110 lbf).

      2. Measure the distance between the pedal and dash panel shown in the illustration.

        Standard pedal reserve distance
        87.0 mm (3.425 in.)

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