Connect a circuit tester to the stop light switch, and check
whether or not there is continuity when the plunger of the stop light switch is pushed in and when it is released.
The stop light switch is in good condition if there is no continuity when the plunger is pushed in to a depth of within 4mm
(.16 in.) from the outer case edge surface, and if there is
continuity when it is released.
For vehicles with the auto-cruise control system, the check for
continuity should be made at connectors “a” and “b” of the
stop light switch.

. ADJUSTMENT OF CLEARANCE BETWEEN BRAKE
BOOSTER PUSH ROD AND PRIMARY PISTON
Adjust the clearance (A) between the brake booster pushrod and primary piston as follows:
(1) Measure the dimension (B) between the .master
cylinder
end face and piston.
NOTE
To obtain (B), first take measurement with a square placed
on the master cylinder end face. Then, subtract the
thickness of the square to arrive at
(B).
(2) Obtain the dimension (C) between the brake booster mounting surface on the master cylinder and the end face.
(3) Measure the dimension (D) between the master cylinder mounting surface on brake booster and the push rod end.
NOTE
To obtain (D), first take measurement with a square placed
on the brake booster. Then, subtract the thickness of the
square to arrive at
(D).
(4) Using the measured values obtained in (1) through (3).
obtain the clearance (A) between the brake booster push
rod and primary piston.
Standard value: [A (A= B-C-D)] 9 inch brake booster
0.8-1.0 mm (.031-.039
in.)
7+8 inch brake booster
0.5-0.7 mm (.020-.028
in.)
8+9 inch brake booster 0.6-O-8
mm (.024-.031
in.)
(5) If the clearance is not within the standard value range, adjust by changing the push rod length by turning the
adjustable end of the push rod.
Caution
Improper clearance may cause excessive brake drag.

6. INSTALLATION OF VACUUM HOSE WITH CHECK
VALVE
(1) Attach the vacuum hose so that it may be inserted to a
dimension illustrated.
Caution
Prevent interference between the check valve and
brake booster.
(2) The vacuum hose at the engine should be securely
connected until it contacts the hexagonal edge of the
fitting, and then should be secured by the hose clip.
4. CONNECTION OF VACUUM HOSE (1) The vacuum hose at the brake booster should be connected for the distance shown in the illustration,
and should be secured by
the.hose clip so that there is
no contact with the check valve.
(2) The vacuum hose at the engine should be securel
y
connected until it contacts the hexagonal edge of the
