        *1 Stop Light Switch
        *2 Clevis Lock Nut
        *3 Floor Panel

        for LHD:

        Pedal Height from Floor Panel
        Item Specified Condition
        for AT and CVT 144.3 to 154.3 mm (5.68 to 6.07 in.)
        for MT

      2. for RHD:

        Pedal Height from Floor Panel
        Item Specified Condition
        for AT and CVT 131.5 to 141.5 mm (5.18 to 5.57 in.)
        for MT 132.2 to 142.2 mm (5.20 to 5.60 in.)

      1. Disconnect the stop light switch connector.

      2. Remove the stop light switch assembly.

      3. Loosen the push rod clevis lock nut.

      4. Adjust the brake pedal height by turning the push rod.

      5. Tighten the push rod clevis lock nut.

        Torque:
        22 N*m  { 224 kgf*cm, 16 ft.*lbf }

      6. Insert the stop light switch into the adjuster mounting until the switch body touches the brake pedal.

        Note

        Do not depress the brake pedal.

      7. Turn the switch a quarter turn clockwise.

        Torque:
        1.5 N*m  { 15 kgf*cm, 13 in.*lbf, or less }

        Note

        Do not depress the pedal.

      8. Connect the connector to the switch.

      9. Check the switch clearance.

        Stop light switch clearance
        1.5 to 2.5 mm (0.0591 to 0.0984 in.)

  2. INSPECT BRAKE PEDAL FREE PLAY


    1. Stop the engine. Depress the brake pedal several times until no vacuum is left in the brake booster. Release the brake pedal.

    2. A005V6TE01

      Depress the pedal until a slight resistance is felt. Measure the distance as shown in the illustration.

      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.

  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 294 N (30 kgf, 66 lbf)
      Item Specified Condition
      w/o VSC 81 mm (3.19 in.)
      w/ VSC 87 mm (3.43 in.)
