1. With the engine stopped, depress the brake pedal two or three times. After eliminating the vacuum in the power brake booster, press the pedal
down by hand, and confirm that the amount of movement before resistance is met (the free play) is within the standard value.
Standard value: 3 - 8 mm (0.117 - 0.312 inch)
2. If free play does not reach the standard value, check that clearance between the outer case of stop light switch and brake pedal is within the
standard value. If free play exceeds the standard value, it is probably due to excessive clearance between the clevis pin and brake pedal arm.
Check for excessive clearance and replace faulty parts as required.
3. Start the engine, depress the brake pedal with approximately 120 kg (1176.8 N, 264.5 lbs.) of force, and check for oil leakage in the master
cylinder, brake line and each connecting part.
Repair the faulty parts as required.
