   2. 

      *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

   Tech Tips

   Perform checks and adjustments with the service hole carpet rolled back.

   
   

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

      

      *1	Brake Pedal Pad	-	-
      *a	Brake Pedal Height	*b	Measuring Plane of Front Floor Footrest
      *c	30 mm (1.18 in.)	-	-
      	Service Hole	-	-

      Brake Pedal Reserve Distance from Front Floor Footrest at 500 N (51 kgf, 112.4 lbf)
      121 mm (4.76 in.) or more

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