Brake Pedal and Brake Pedal Position Switch Adjustment

Brake Pedal and Brake Pedal Position Switch Adjustment

Pedal Height

1.	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 left side of the pedal pad (C).

Standard Pedal Height (with carpet removed):
	LHD models:
		M/T:	144 mm (5.67 in.)
		A/T:	148 mm (5.83 in.)
	RHD models:
		M/T:	134 mm (5.28 in.)
		A/T:	138 mm (5.43 in.)

3.	Loosen the pushrod locknut (A), and screw the pushrod in or out 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.

Brake Pedal Position Switch Clearance

4.	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 clockwise to lock it. Make sure the brake lights go off when the pedal is released.

5.	Check the brake pedal free play.

Pedal Free Play

1.

With the engine off, inspect the play (A) on the pedal pad (B) by pushing the pedal by hand.

Free Play:

1-5 mm (0.04-0.2 in.)

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.
