Excessive Pedal Travel Check




Excessive Pedal Travel Check

1) Start engine.
2) Depress brake pedal a few times.
3) With brake pedal depressed with approximately 300N (30.6 kgf, 67.5 lbf) load, measure pedal to carpet clearance "c".

If clearance "c" is less than specification, the most possible cause is air is in lines.

Should clearance "c" remain less than specification even after bleeding of system, other possible but infrequent cause is booster push rod length out of adjustment.
