INTRODUCTION TO MOTORIST ASSURANCE PROGRAM (MAP)
OVERVIEW OF MOTORIST ASSURANCE PROGRAM
The Motorist Assurance Program is the consumer outreach
effort of the Automotive Maintenance and Repair Association, Inc.
(AMRA). Participation in the Motorist Assurance Program is drawn from
retailers, suppliers, independent repair facilities, vehicle
manufacturers and industry associations.
Our organization's mission is to strengthen the relationship
between the consumer and the auto repair industry. We produce
materials that give motorists the information and encouragement to
take greater responsibility for their vehicles-through proper,
manufacturer-recommended, maintenance. We encourage participating
service and repair shops (including franchisees and dealers) to adopt:\
1) a Pledge of Assurance to their Customers and
2) the Motorist Assurance Program Standards of Service.
All participating service providers have agreed to subscribe
to this Pledge and to adhere to the promulgated Standards of Service
demonstrating to their customers that they are serious about customer
satisfaction.
These Standards of Service require that an inspection of the
vehicle's (problem) system be made and the results communicated to the\
customer according to industry standards. Given that the industry did
not have such standards, the Motorist Assurance Program successfully
promulgated industry inspection communication standards in 1994-95 for
the following systems: Exhaust, Brakes, ABS, Steering and Suspension,
Engine Maintenance and Performance, HVAC, and Electrical Systems.
Further, revisions to all of these inspection communication standards
are continually re-published. In addition to these, standards for
Drive Train and Transmissions have recently been promulgated.
Participating shops utilize these Uniform Inspection & Communication
Standards as part of the inspection process and for communicating
their findings to their customers.
The Motorist Assurance Program continues to work
cooperatively and proactively with government agencies and consumer
groups toward solutions that both benefit the customer and are
mutually acceptable to both regulators and industry. We maintain the
belief that industry must retain control over how we conduct our
business, and we must be viewed as part of the solution and not part
of the problem. Meetings with state and other government officials
(and their representatives), concerned with auto repair and/or
consumer protection, are conducted. Feedback from these sessions is
brought back to the association, and the program adjusted as needed.
To assure auto repair customers recourse if they were not

( 1) - Identify and repair cause of contamination prior to
replacing friction material.
( 2) - When reconditioning or replacing drums or rotors,
replacement of friction material may be suggested
depending on the severity of the grooves or ridges.
( 3) - Some vehicles use pads that are tapered by design. Refer
to specific vehicle application. If not normal, require
replacement of pads and correction of cause.
( 4) - Uneven pad thickness is normal on some vehicles. Refer to
specific vehicle applications.
( 5) - The pad wear indicator light may come on due to other
electrical problems.
( 6) - Explain to the customer that the purpose of the wear
indicator is to alert him or her to check for friction
wear. Wear indicators may be bent or broken. Therefore,
the friction material must be measured. The need for
friction material replacement is determined based upon
the conditions stated in this section. Periodic inspection
is suggested.
( 7) - When the part appears to be close to the end of its useful
life, replacement may be suggested.

equipped with front disc brakes and either rear disc or drum brakes.
Parking brake assembly activates rear brakes.
BLEEDING BRAKE SYSTEM
BLEEDING PROCEDURES
Bleed brakes whenever hydraulic lines are opened or pedal
feels spongy. Bleed system in appropriate sequence. See
BRAKE LINE BLEEDING SEQUENCE table. Use only DOT 3 or DOT 4 approved
fluid and DO NOT mix fluid types.

ADJUSTMENTS
BRAKE PEDAL HEIGHT, FREE PLAY & CLEARANCE
1) To measure brake pedal height, pull up carpet under brake
pedal. Measure distance between floor board and middle of brake pedal
pad surface with brake pedal released. See BRAKE PEDAL HEIGHT
SPECIFICATIONS table.
2) To adjust pedal height, separate connector from stoplight
switch, and loosen switch lock nut. Back-off switch so it does not
contact brake pedal arm. Loosen master cylinder push rod lock nut.
Adjust brake pedal height by rotating master cylinder push rod until
brake pedal height is within specification.
