WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mazda MX-5 Miata. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- With the engine is stopped (vacuum 0 kPa {0 mmHg, 0 inHg}
) and the fluid pressure is within the specification, the unit is operating.
Pedal force Fluid pressure 196 N {20 kgf, 44 lbf} 740 kPa {7.55 kgf/cm2,107 psi} - Start the engine. Depress the brake pedal when the vacuum reaches 66.7 kPa {500 mmHg, 19.7 inHg}
.
- If the fluid pressure is within specification, the unit is operating.
Pedal force Fluid pressure 196 N {20 kgf, 44 lbf} With ABS (BP with TC (vehicle equipped with 17 inch wheel)):4,700 kPa {48 kgf/cm2, 683 psi}
With ABS (vehicle equipped with 15 and 16 inch wheel):7,200 kPa {73 kgf/cm2, 1,038 psi}
Without ABS (vehicle equipped with 16 inch wheel):4,700 kPa {48 kgf/cm2, 683 psi}
Without ABS (vehicle equipped with 15 inch wheel):7,200 kPa {73 kgf/cm2, 1,038 psi}
