BRAKES 5-9
BRAKE PEDAL FREE HEIGHT CHECK
Remove foot rest and displace carpet and dash silencer(s) so as to
measure brake pedal free height between pedal face and asphalt
sheet installed on dash panel.
Brake pedal free height ªaº from asphalt sheet:
208 ± 218 mm (8.19 ± 8.58 in.)
If the measurement is not within the specification, check the posi-
tion of booster push rod clevis and / or stop light switch according
to the instruction shown in this section.
The free height varies depending on installation position of booster
push rod clevis and stop light switch.
BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH ADJUSTMENT
Adjustment should be made as follows when installing switch. Pull
up brake pedal toward you and while holding it there, adjust switch
position so that clearance between end of thread and brake pedal
return cushion (shown as ªbº in figure).
Then tighten lock nut to specified torque.
Clearance ªbº: 1.5 ± 2.0 mm (0.06 ± 0.08 in.)
Tightening Torque
(b): 7.5 N
.m (0.75 kg-m, 5.5 lb-ft)
EXCESSIVE PEDAL TRAVEL CHECK
1) Remove foot rest and displace carpet and dash silencer(s).
2) Start engine.
3) Depress brake pedal a few times.
4) With brake pedal depressed with approximately 30 kg (66 lbs)
load, measure pedal to asphalt sheet clearance ªcº.
Clearance ªcº: over 115 mm (4.53 in.)
5) If clearance ªcº is less than specification, the most possible
cause is either rear brake shoes are worn out beyond limit or air
is in lines.
Should clearance ªcº remain less than specification even after
replacement of brake shoes and bleeding of system, other pos-
sible but infrequent cause is malfunction of rear brake shoe ad-
justers or booster push rod length out of adjustment.

BRAKE PEDAL PLAY CHECK
Pedal play should be within specification. If out of specification,
check brake light switch for proper installation position and adjust
if necessary.
Also check pedal shaft bolt and master cylinder pin installation for
looseness and replace if defective.
Pedal play ªdº: 1 ± 8 mm (0.04 ± 0.32 in.)
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL CHECK
Be sure to use particular brake fluid either as indicated on reservoir
cap of that vehicle or recommended in owner's manual which
comes along with that vehicle.
Use of any other fluid is strictly prohibited.
Fluid level should be between MIN and MAX lines marked on reser-
voir.
When warning light lights sometimes during driving, replenish fluid
to MAX line.
When fluid decreases quickly, inspect brake system for leakage.
Correct leaky points and then refill to specified level.
CAUTION:
Do not use shock absorber fluid or any other fluid which
contains mineral oil. Do not use a container which has been
used for mineral oil or a container which is wet from water.
Mineral oil will cause swelling and distortion of rubber parts
in hydraulic brake system and water mixed into brake fluid
will lower fluid boiling point. Keep all fluid containers
capped to prevent contamination.
BRAKE HOSE AND PIPE CHECK
The brake hose assembly should be checked for road hazard dam-
age, for cracks and chafing of the outer cover, for leaks and blisters.
A light and mirror may be needed for an adequate inspection. If any
of the above conditions are observed on the brake hose, it is neces-
sary to replace it.
Inspect the pipe for damage, cracks, dents and corrosion. If any de-
fect is found, replace it.
MASTER CYLINDER CHECK
Check for a cracked master cylinder casting or brake fluid around
the master cylinder. Leaks are indicated only if there is at least a
drop of fluid. A damp condition is not abnormal.

Cracked, Scored, or Grooved Drum
A cracked, drum is unsafe for further service and must be replaced.
Do not attempt to weld a cracked drum.
Smooth up any slight scores. Heavy or extensive scoring will cause
excessive brake lining wear and it will probably be necessary to re-
surface drum braking surface.
If brake linings are slightly worn and drum is grooved, drum should
be polished with fine emery cloth but should no be turned.
NOTE:
When drum is removed, visually inspect wheel cylinder for
brake fluid leakage. Correct leaky point, if any.
Brake Shoe
Where lining is worn out beyond service limit, replace shoe.
Thickness ªaº
Standard: 6.5 mm (0.24 in.)
Service limit: 3.0 mm (0.12 in.)
If one of brake linings is to service limit, all linings must be replaced
at the same time.
CAUTION:
Never polish lining with sandpaper. If lining is polished with
sandpaper, hard particles of sandpaper will be deposited in
lining and may damage drum. When it is required to correct
lining, replace it with a new one.
INSTALLATION
NOTE:
See NOTE at the beginning of the section.
1) Before installing brake drum, check outer diameter of brake
shoes. If it is not within value as specified below, adjust it to spec-
ification by turning adjuster.

5E1-2 ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) (OPTIONAL)
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ABS (Antilock Brake System) controls the fluid pressure applied to the wheel cylinder of each brake from the
master cylinder so that each wheel is not locked even when hard braking is applied. This ABS is a 4-wheel type
which controls the fluid pressure applied to the wheel cylinder of each of the four brakes to prevent each wheel
from getting locked.
The component parts of this ABS includes following parts in addition to those of the conventional brake system.

Wheel speed sensor which senses revolution speed of each wheel and outputs its signal.

In this ABS, ABS hydraulic unit (actuator assembly), ABS control module, pump motor relay and fail-safe relay
are combined as one component.

ABS control module which sends operation signal to ABS hydraulic unit to control fluid pressure applied to each
wheel cylinder based on signal from each wheel speed sensor so as to prevent wheel from locking.

ABS hydraulic unit which operates according to signal from ABS control module to control fluid pressure applied
to wheel cylinder of each of 4 wheels.

Fail-safe (solenoid valve) relay which supplies power to solenoid valve in ABS hydraulic unit and pump motor
relay.

Pump motor relay which supplies power to pump motor in ABS hydraulic unit.

ªABSº warning lamp which lights to inform abnormality when system fails to operate properly.

G sensor which detects body deceleration speed. (For 4WD model only)
This ABS is equipped with Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD) system that controls a fluid pressure of rear
wheels to best condition, which is the same function as that of proportioning valve, by the signal from wheel sensor
independently of change of load due to load capacity and so on. And if the EBD system fails to operate properly,
the brake warning lamp lights to inform abnormality.

ABS HYDRAULIC UNIT/CONTROL MODULE
ASSEMBLY
ABS control module is a component of ABS hydrauli unit / control
module assembly and has the following functions.
Self-Diagnosis Function
ABS control module diagnoses conditions of the system compo-
nent parts (whether or not there is any abnormality) all the time and
indicates the results (warning of abnormality occurrence and DTC)
through the ªABSº warning lamp as described below.
1) When ignition switch is turned ON, ªABSº warning lamp lights for
2 seconds to check its bulb and circuit.
2) When no abnormality has been detected (the system is in good
condition), ªABSº warning lamp turns OFF after 2 seconds.
3) When the vehicle starts to move after the ignition switch is turned
ON (more than one wheel speed sensor signals are inputted),
solenoid valves and motor of ABS hydraulic unit operate once
one after another for electrical check.
During this check, motor operation sound may be heard but that
means nothing abnormal.
4) When an abnormality in the system is detected, ªABSº warning
lamp lights and the area where that abnormality lies is stored in
the memory of EEPROM in ABS control module.
5) When Diag. switch terminal of diagnosis connector (monitor
connector) is grounded, the abnormal area is output as DTC. It
is indicated by flashing of ªABSº warning lamp. (Refer to the
table below. )

Also ABS control module turns ON EBD warning lamp (brake warn-
ing lamp) depending on the trouble that detected by the module and
EBD warning lamp does not indicate DTC as well as ªABSº warning
lamp.
Fail-Safe Function
When an abnormality occurs (an abnormal DTC is detected), ABS
control module turns OFF the fail-safe relay which supplies power
to ABS hydraulic unit. Thus, with ABS not operating, brakes func-
tion just like the brake system of the vehicle not equipped with ABS.

To ensure that the trouble diagnosis is done accurately and smooth-
ly, observe ªPrecautions in Diagnosing Troublesº and follow ªABS
Diagnostic Flow Tableº.
PRECAUTION IN DIAGNOSING TROUBLES

If the vehicle was operated in any of the following ways, ªABSº
warning light may light momentarily but this does not indicate any-
thing abnormal in ABS.
± The vehicle was driven with parking brake pulled.
± The vehicle was driven with brake dragging.
± The vehicle was stuck in mud, sand, etc.
± Wheel spin occurred while driving.
± Wheel(s) was rotated while the vehicle was jacked up.

1-2. PROBLEM SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION
Check if what the customer claimed in CUSTOMER QUESTIONNAIRE is actually found in the vehicle and
if that symptom is found, whether it is identified as a failure. (This step should be shared with the customer
if possible.) When ªABSº warning lamp is not operated correctly, proceed to ªDiagnostic Flow Table-A, B or
Cº.
1-3. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) CHECK, RECORD AND CLEARANCE
Perform ªDiagnostic Trouble Code Checkº as shown below, record it and then clear it referring to ªDiagnostic
Trouble Code Clearanceº in this section.
If the malfunction DTC which was once displayed and then cleared cannot be detected (indicated) again when
the ignition switch is turned ON, attempt to diagnose the trouble based on the DTC recorded in this step may
mislead the diagnosis or make diagnosing difficult. Proceed to Step 2 to check ABS control module for proper
self-diagnosis function.
If the malfunction DTC which was once displayed and then cleared can be detected (indicated) again when
ignition switch is turned ON, proceed to Step 3.
2. DRIVING TEST
Test drive the vehicle at 40 km / h for more than a minute and check if any trouble symptom (such as abnormal
lighting of ªABSº warning lamp) exists.
If the malfunction DTC is confirmed again at ignition switch ON, driving test as described in above is not neces-
sary. Proceed to Step 3.
3. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHECK
Recheck diagnostic trouble code referring to item ªDTC CHECKº as shown below.
4. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE FLOW CHART
According to Diagnostic flow table for the diagnostic trouble code confirmed in Step 3, locate the cause of the
trouble, namely in a sensor, switch, wire harness, connector, actuator, ABS control module or other part and
repair or replace faulty parts.
5. ªDIAGNOSISº IN ªBRAKEº SECTION
Check the parts or system suspected as a possible cause referring to ªDiagnosisº in ªBRAKESº section and
based on symptoms appearing on the vehicle (symptoms obtained through Steps 1-1, 1-2 and 2 and repair or
replace faulty parts, if any.
6. CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEM
Check parts where an intermittent trouble is easy to occur (e.g., wire harness, connector, etc.), referring to IN-
TERMITTENT TROUBLE in ªGENERAL INFORMATIONº section and related circuit of trouble code recorded
in Step 1-3.
7. FINAL CONFIRMATION TEST
Confirm that the problem symptom has gone and the ABS is free from any abnormal conditions. If what has been
repaired is related to the malfunction DTC, clear the DTC once and perform test driving and confirm that a nor-
mal code is indicated.
