Grand Vitara JLS Plus 2WD V6-2.5L (2000)
Brake Pedal Assy: Testing and Inspection
EXCESSIVE PEDAL TRAVEL CHECK
1. Start engine.
2. Depress brake pedal a few times.
3. With brake pedal depressed with approximately 30 kg (66 lbs.) load, measure pedal to carpet clearance "c".
CAUTION: Make sure that carpet is attached to vehicle body tightly when taking measurement.
Clearance "c": over 100 mm (3.94 inch)
If clearance "c" is less than 100 mm (3.94 inch), the most possible cause is either rear brake shoes are worn out beyond limit or air is in lines.
Should clearance "c" remain less than 100 mm (3.94 inch) even after replacement of brake shoes and bleeding of system, other possible but
infrequent cause is malfunction of rear brake shoe adjusters or booster push rod length out of adjustment for the vehicle with brake booster.
BRAKE PEDAL PLAY CHECK
Pedal play should be within specification. If out of specification, check brake light switch for proper installation position and adjust if necessary.
Also check pedal shaft bolt and master cylinder pin installation for looseness and replace if defective.
Pedal play "d": 1 - 8 mm (0.04 - 0.32 inch)
