2. Brake pedal free play
1) With the engine stopped, press 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 feeling resistance (the free play) is within the standard value range.
Standard value (B): 3 - 8 mm (0.12 - 0.31 inch)
2) If the free play exceeds the standard value, it is probably due to excessive play between the clevis pin and brake pedal arm.
Check for excessive clearance and replace faulty parts as required.

1) Turn up the carpet, etc. under the brake pedal.
2) Start the engine, depress the brake pedal with approximately 490 N (110 lbs.) of force.
Standard value (C): 90 mm (3.5 inch) or more
3) If the clearance is less than the standard value, check for air trapped in the brake line, clearance between the lining, and the drum, and dragging
in the parking brake.
Adjust and replace defective parts as required.
4) Turn back the carpet, etc to original position.
