Brake Pedal Assy: Testing and Inspection
EXCESSIVE PEDAL TRAVEL CHECK
1. Remove foot rest and displace carpet and dash silencer(s).
2. Start engine.
3. Depress brake pedal a few times.
4. With brake pedal depressed with approximately 30 kg (66 lbs.) load, measure pedal to asphalt sheet clearance "c".
If clearance "c" is less than specification, 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 specification 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.
Clearance "c" between brake pedal (with depressed) and asphalt sheet: over 115 mm (4.53 inch)
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.
Brake pedal play "d": 1 - 8 mm (0.04 - 0.31 inch)
