Brake Pedal Height Check

  1. Turn up the floor carpet under the brake pedal.
  2. Remove the stoplight switch (Refer to STOPLIGHT SWITCH CHECK  ).
  3. Use a needle or similar tool to measure the dimension A in the figure (distance from the dash panel pad surface to the dash panel).
  4. Measure the dimension B in the figure (distance from the pedal pad surface to the dash panel pad surface).
  5. Make sure that the total of the dimensions A and B measured in Steps  2 and  3 (brake pedal height) is within the standard value.

    Standard value (A+B): 219.8 - 227.8 mm (8.7 - 9.0 inches)

  6. When the brake pedal height is not within the standard value, inspect the brake pedal in the following procedure.
    1. Remove the brake pedal assembly (Refer to BRAKE PEDAL  ).
    2. Check the removed brake pedal assembly for distortion, and replace it when deformed (Refer to BRAKE PEDAL DISTORTION CHECK  ).
    3. Install the brake pedal assembly (Refer to BRAKE PEDAL  ).
      NOTE: When installing, compress the dash panel pad.
    4. Measure the brake pedal height again, and make sure that it is within the standard value (A+B).

      When the measured value is not within the standard value, measure the dimension C in the figure (distance from the stud bolt end to the clevis hole center), and make sure it is within the standard value (C).

      Standard value (C): 75.8 - 80.2 mm (2.98 - 3.16 inches) 

    5. When the measured value is not within the standard value (C), replace the brake booster (Refer to MASTER CYLINDER ASSEMBLY AND BRAKE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY  <Except RALLIART> or REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION <RALLIART>  <RALLIART>).

  7. After checking the brake pedal height, install the stoplight switch in the following procedure:
    1. Pull and hold the brake pedal by hand. Insert the stoplight switch until the stoplight switch body contacts the pedal stopper, then turn the switch approximately one eighth of a clockwise turn to fix it.
    2. Check that the clearance between the stoplight switch and the pedal stopper is as shown in the illustration.
      CAUTION: Make sure that the stoplight is not illuminated when the brake pedal is not depressed.
    3. Connect the stoplight switch connector.
  8. Check the key interlock mechanism and the shift lock mechanism (Refer to SHIFT LOCK MECHANISM CHECK <TC-SST> or SHIFT LOCK MECHANISM CHECK <CVT>).
  9. Recover the floor carpet under the brake pedal.
