INSPECTION
CAUTION:
Replace the seat belt assembly (outer belt, inner belt, bolts
or nuts and sill-bar) if it has been used in a severe impact.
The entire assembly should be replaced even if damage is
not obvious.
Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) and Automatic Lock-
ing Retractor (ALR) type
1. All seat belts:
RUNNING TEST (IN SAFE AREA)
(a) Fasten the front seat belts.
(b) Drive the car at 10 mph (16 km/h) and make a very hard
stop.
Check that the belt locks and cannot be extended at this
time.
HINT:
Conduct this test in a safe area. If the belt does not lock, remove
the belt mechanism assembly and conduct the following static
check. Also, whenever installing a new belt assembly, verify the
proper operation before installation.
2. Driver 's seat belt (ELR):
STATIC TEST
(a) Make sure that the belt locks when pulled out quickly.
(b) Remove the locking retractor assembly.
(c) Tilt the retractor slowly.
(d) Make sure that the belt can be pulled out at a tilt of 15 de-
grees or less, and cannot be pulled out over 45 degrees
of tilt.
If a problem is found, replace the assembly.
3. Except driver's seat belt (ALR/ ELR):
STATIC TEST
(a) Make sure that the belt locks when pulled out quickly.
(b) Remove the locking retractor assembly.
(c) Pull out the whole belt and measure the length of the
whole belt.
Then retract the belt slightly and pull it out again.
(d) Make sure that the belt cannot be extended further.
If a problem is found, replace the assembly.
(e) Retract the whole belt, then pull out the belt until 200 mm
(7.87 in.) of belt remains retracted.
(f) Tilt the retractor slowly.

off immediately.
1. REMOVE RESERVOIR CAP
2. FILL RESERVOIR WITH BRAKE FLUID

3. BLEED MASTER CYLINDER
HINT:
If the master cylinder has been disassembled or if the reservoir
becomes empty, bleed the master cylinder.
(a) Disconnect the brake lines from the master cylinder.
(b) Slowly depress the brake pedal and hold it.
(c) Block off the outer holes with your fingers, and release the
brake pedal.
(d) Repeat (b) 3 or 4 times.
4. BLEED BRAKE LINE
(a) Connect the vinyl tube to the brake caliper.
(b) Depress the brake pedal several times, then loosen the
bleeder plug with the pedal held down.
(c) At the point when fluid stops coming out, tighten the
bleeder plug, then release the brake pedal.
(d) Repeat (b) and (c) until all the air in the fluid has been bled
out.
Torque: (Bleeder plug)
11 N´m (110 kgf´cm, 8 ft´lbf)

BRAKE PEDAL
ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. CHECK THAT PEDAL HEIGHT IS CORRECT
Pedal height from asphalt sheet:
154.2 - 164.2 mm (6.071 - 6.465 in.)
If the pedal height is incorrect, adjust it.
2. IF NECESSARY, ADJUST PEDAL HEIGHT
(a) Remove the lower instrument panel and finish panel.
(b) Disconnect the connector from the stop light switch.
(c) Loosen the stop light switch lock nut and remove the stop
light switch.
(d) Loosen the push rod lock nut.
(e) Adjust the pedal height by turning the pedal push rod.
(f) Tighten the push rod lock nut.
Torque: 25 N´m (260 kgf´cm, 19 ft´lbf)
(g) Install the stop light switch and turn it until it lightly con-
tacts the pedal stopper.
(h) Turn the stop light switch back one turn.
(i) Check the clearance (A) between stop lights switch and
pedal.
Clearance: 0.5 - 2.4 mm (0.020 - 0.094 in.)
(j) Tighten the stop light switch lock nut.
(k) Connect the connector to the stop light switch.
(l) Check that the stop lights come on when the brake pedal
is depressed, and go off when the brake pedal is re-
leased.
(m) After adjusting the pedal height, check the pedal freeplay.
If clearance (A) between the stop light switch and the brake
pedal stopper has been adjusted correctly, the pedal freeplay
will meet the specifications.
(n) Install the lower instrument panel and finish panel.
3. CHECK PEDAL FREEPLAY
(a) Stop the engine and depress the brake pedal several
times until there is no more vacuum left in the booster.
(b) Push in the pedal by hand until the second point of resis-
tance begins to be felt, then measure the distance, as
shown.
Pedal freeplay: 1 - 6 mm (0.04 - 0.24 in.)
If incorrect, check the stop light switch clearance. If the clear-
ance is OK, then troubleshoot the brake system.

HINT:
The freeplay to the 1st point of resistance is due to the play be-
tween the clevis and pin. It is 1 - 3 mm (0.04-0.12 in.) on the
pedal.
4. CHECK PEDAL RESERVE DISTANCE
(a) Release the parking brake.
(b) With the engine running, depress the pedal and measure
the pedal reserve distance, as shown.
Pedal reserve distance at 490 N (50 kgf, 110.2 lbf):
2JZ-GE Engine: More than 72 mm (2.83 in.)
2JZ-GTE Engine: More than 70 mm (2.76 in.)
If the reserve distance is incorrect, troubleshoot the brake sys-
tem.
