Brake Pedal Height & BRAKELIGHT Switch

  1. Measure brake pedal height from upper center pedal pad-to-carpet. On Sephia and Spectra, pedal height should be 7.60-7.72" (193.0-196.1 mm). On Sportage, pedal height should be 8.90-9.10" (226.1-231.1 mm). See Figure. If pedal height is as specified, no adjustment is necessary.
  2. If pedal height is not as specified, disconnect brakelight switch connector. Loosen brakelight switch lock nut. Turn brakelight switch until switch plunger does not contact pedal. Loosen brake master cylinder push rod lock nut.
  3. Turn brake master cylinder push rod until pedal height is 7.60-7.72" (193.0-196.1 mm) on Sephia and Spectra, and 8.90-9.10" (226.1-231.1 mm) on Sportage. Tighten brakelight switch until plunger contacts pedal and then rotate switch an additional 1/2 turn. Tighten both lock nuts. Reconnect brakelight switch connector. Check brakelight operation.
