Stoplamp Switch Adjustment

STOPLAMP SWITCH ADJUSTMENT

(Figures 1 through 5 may be helpful in performing this procedure).

1. Depress brake pedal as far as possible and hold.

2. Using a stiff wire and a hooked end (see Figures 4 and 5), gently pull switch set lever forward (toward front of vehicle), and listen for an audible click indicating release of automatic adjustor.

NOTICE:
If no click is heard, release brake pedal and repeat above procedure.

3. After release of automatic adjustor, pull brake pedal all the way rearward. Listen for switch to ratchet into set position (setting the stoplamp switch). At least three (3) clicks of the ratchet must be heard.

4. Inspect operation of stoplamps. Stoplamps should operate at maximum brake pedal travel of 25 mm (1 in.) and throughout the remainder of its travel. If stoplamps do not operate properly, repeat switch adjustment procedure one more time. If switch still fails to operate properly, refer to the "STOPLAMP SWITCH ADJUSTMENT CHECK" chart (see Figure 3).

If stoplamps do operate properly, return to step 17 of the "STOPLAMP SWITCH REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION" procedure above.
