Braking Sensor/Switch: Adjustments
Brake Pedal and Brake Pedal Position Switch AdjustmentPedal Height
1. Disconnect the brake pedal position switch connector, turn the brake pedal position switch (A) counterclockwise, and pull it back until it is no longer touching the brake pedal.
2. Lift up the carpet. At the insulator cutout, measure the pedal height (B) from the middle of the right side of the pedal pad (C).
Standard pedal height (with carpet removed):
M/T: 180 mm (7 1/16 inch)
A/T: 183 mm (7 3/16 inch)
3. Loosen the pushrod locknut (A), and screw the pushrod in or out on the knurled area (B) of the pushrod 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 pressed.
4. Spin the wheels to check for brake drag.
Pedal Free Play
1. With the engine stopped, inspect the pedal free play (A) on the pedal pad (B) by pushing the brake pedal by hand.
2. If the pedal free play is out of specification, adjust the brake pedal position switch (C). If the pedal free play is insufficient, it may result in brake drag.
Brake Pedal Position Switch Clearance
1. Push in the brake pedal position switch until its plunger is fully pressed (threaded end (A) touching the pad (B) on the pedal arm). Then, turn the brake pedal position switch 45° clockwise to lock it. The gap between the brake pedal position switch and the pad is automatically adjusted to 0.4 to 3.0 mm (0.016 to 0.118 inch) by locking the switch. Make sure the brake lights go off when the pedal is released.
2. Check the brake pedal free play.
