Pedal Height

  1. Disconnect the brake pedal position switch connector, 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 middle of the right side of the pedal pad (C).

    Standard Pedal Height (with carpet removed): 

    • M/T:  184 mm (7 4/16 in.)
    • A/T:  188 mm (7 6/16 in.)
