BRAKE PEDAL ADJUSTMENT

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK AND ADJUST BRAKE PEDAL HEIGHT

   

   *1	Push Rod
   *2	Lock Nut
   *3	Stop Light Switch
   *a	Pedal Height

   1. Check the pedal height.

      Standard pedal height from floor panel

      Item	Specified Condition
      for LHD	188.9 to 198.9 mm (7.437 to 7.830 in.)
      for RHD	182.5 to 192.5 mm (7.185 to 7.578 in.)

   2. Adjust the pedal height.

      1. Disconnect the connector from the stop light switch.

      2. Remove the switch.

      3. Loosen the push rod clevis lock nut.

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

         *2	Stop Light Switch Mounting Adjuster
         *3	Switch Body
         *4	Brake Pedal

         Insert the switch into the adjuster until the switch body touches the pedal.

         Note:

         Do not depress the pedal.

      7. 

         *1	Stop Light Switch Assembly
         *2	Shaft
         *a	0.5 to 2.6 mm

         Turn the switch a quarter turn clockwise.

         or less

         Note:

         Do not depress the pedal.

      8. Connect the connector to the switch.

      9. Check the switch clearance.

         Standard stop light switch clearance

         0.5 to 2.6 mm (0.0197 to 0.102 in.)

2. CHECK BRAKE PEDAL FREE PLAY

   1. 

      *a	Pedal Free Play

      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 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 (0.0394 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

      0.5 to 2.6 mm (0.0197 to 0.102 in.)

      If the clearance is not as specified, reinstall the switch and recheck the pedal 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

   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.

         Standard pedal reserve distance

         Item	Specified Condition
         for LHD	More than 91 mm (3.58 in.)
         for RHD	More than 87 mm (3.43 in.)

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

         Tip:

         Check the brake pedal reserve distance at the same location as that used when checking the brake pedal height.
