Braking Sensor/Switch: Adjustments
Brake Pedal and Brake Pedal Position Switch AdjustmentPedal Height
1. Turn the brake pedal position switch (A) counterclockwise, and pull it back until it is no longer touching the brake pedal.
2. Pull back the carpet at the insulator cutout, and measure the pedal height (B) from the middle of the left side center of the pedal pad (C).
Standard pedal height (with carpet removed): 164 mm (6 7/16 inch)
Brake Switch Clearance
3. 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 switch 45° clockwise to lock it. The gap between the brake pedal position switch and the pad is automatically adjusted to 0.4 - 3.0 mm (0.016 - 0.118 inch) by locking the switch. Make sure the brake lights go off when the pedal is released.
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.
