Pedal Height (Civic, CR-V)

On Civic, disconnect brake pedal position switch connector, and turn position switch counterclockwise and pull it back until it is no longer touching brake pedal. On CR-V, turn brake pedal position switch counterclockwise, and pull it back until it is no longer touching brake pedal. On all models, lift up carpet. At insulator cutout, measure pedal height from middle of pedal pad. See Figure . Loosen pushrod lock nut, and screw pushrod in or out with pliers until correct pedal height is obtained. See BRAKE PEDAL HEIGHT SPECIFICATIONS  table. Tighten lock nut firmly. Do not adjust the pedal height with pushrod pressed. Push in brake pedal position switch until its plunger is fully pressed (threaded end touching pad on pedal arm). Then, turn switch 45° clockwise to lock it. The gap between brake pedal position switch and pad is automatically adjusted to 0.02-0.12" (0.4-3.0 mm) by locking switch. Make sure brake lights go off when pedal is released.
