Brake Pedal Assy: Adjustments
Brake Pedal Brake Switch Adjustment
Pedal Height
1. Disconnect the brake switch connector, loosen the brake switch locknut (A), and bake off the brake switch (B) until it is no longer touching the
brake pedal.
2. Life up the carpet. At the insulator cutout, measure the pedal height (C) from the middle of the left-side center of the pedal pad (D).
Standard pedal height( with carpet removed): 163mm(6.41 in.)
3. Loosen the pushrod locknut (A), and screw the pushrod in or out with pliers until the standard pedal height from the floor is reached. After
adjustment, tighten the locknut firmly. Do not adjust the pedal height with the pushrod depressed.
Brake Switch Clearance
Screw in the brake switch until its plunger is fully depressed (threaded end (A) touching the pad (B) on the pedal arm) then brake off the switch 3/4 turn
to make 1 - 2 mm (0.04 - 0.08 in.) of clearance between the brake switch connector. Make sure that the brake lights go off when the pedal is released.
Pedal Free Play
1. With the engine off, inspect the pedal free play (A) on the pedal pad (B) by pushing the pedal by hand.
Free play:3 - 8mm (0.11 - 0.31 in.)
2. If the pedal free play is out of specification, adjust the brake switch (C). If the pedal free play is insufficient, it may result in brake drag.
