Brake Pedal Travel

NOTE: Brake pedal travel is not adjustable. Use the following procedure to determine if brake pedal travel is as specified.
  1. With engine off, pump brake pedal until all vacuum reserve is exhausted from power brake booster. A definite change in pedal feel will occur. With brake pedal released, install Brake Pedal Effort Gauge (J-28662) onto brake pedal. Hook end of tape measure over top of brake pedal. Measure and record distance to rim of steering wheel.
  2. Apply 100 lbs. (45 kg) of force to brake pedal. Measure and record distance to rim of steering wheel again. Difference between measured values is brake pedal travel. If brake pedal travel exceeds 2.24" (57 mm), inspect brake system. Ensure brakes are properly adjusted and bled. Repair and replace as necessary.
