Brake Pedal Play Check And Adjustment

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. With the engine stopped, depress the brake pedal 2 or 3 times to release the vacuum in the brake booster. Then, press the brake pedal with your finger and check if the pedal stroke until the pedal becomes heavy (play) is within the standard value.

    Standard value (B): 3 - 8 mm (0.12 - 0.31 inch) 

  2. When the brake pedal play is not within the standard value, check the brake pedal-to-clevis pin looseness, clevis pin-to-booster operating rod looseness, brake pedal height, and stoplight switch position, and adjust or replace as necessary.
