Brake Pedal Height Check

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. Turn up the floor carpet under the brake pedal.
  2. Remove the stoplight switch (Refer to REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION  ).
  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 inch)

  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 REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION  ).
    2. Check the removed brake pedal assembly for distortion, and replace it when deformed (Refer to INSPECTION  ).
    3. Install the brake pedal assembly (Refer to REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION  ).
    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): 74 mm (2.91 inch) 

    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  ).

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