Brake Pedal Free Play
- Pedal free play is distance brake pedal travels before initial resistance of power brake push rod is contacted.
- To adjust pedal free play, stop engine, and depress brake pedal several times to exhaust vacuum from power brake unit.
- Place a straightedge beside brake pedal, then press pedal down with fingers until initial resistance is felt. See Fig 1.
- Free play should be 0.16 - 0.28" (4 - 7 mm) for Tercel, and 0.12 - 0.24" (3 - 6 mm) for all others.
- If pedal travel is not as specified, adjust pedal height, start engine, and confirm free play measurement. Check brake pedal height.
