Brake Pedal Assy: Testing and Inspection

1. With engine off and key off, pump service brake pedal until all reserve vacuum is exhausted from the brake booster. (A definite change in pedal feel will occur.)
2. Install brake pedal effort gauge SA9303NE (or equivalent) onto brake pedal.
3. Hook end of tape measure over top edge of brake pedal and measure the distance to the rim of the steering wheel.
4. Apply service brake pedal with 445 N (100 lbs.) force and re-measure. The difference between the "at rest" pedal position and the "applied" pedal position is the actual pedal travel and should not exceed 57.0 mm. (2.25 inch).
5. If pedal travel is greater than specification, refer to "Brake Diagnostic Charts" for possible causes.
