Brake Pedal
Pedal Hoight
1. Disconnect the brake switch connector, loosen the
brake switch locknut, and back off the brake switch
until it is no longer touching the brake pedal.
2. Lift up the carpet, At the insulator cutout, measure
the pedal height from the middle of the right side of
the oedal pad.
BRAKE SWITCH

Standard Pedal Height (with floor m8i removed):
A/T: 161 mm (5 5/16 in)
M/T: 155 mm {6 U8 in}
Loosen the pushrod locknut, and screw the pushrod
in or out with pliers until the standard pedal height
from the floor is reached. Do not adjust the pedal
height with the pushrod pressed. After adiustment,
tighten the locknut firmly.

4. Screw in the brake switch until its plunger is fully
pressed (threaded end touching the pad on the
pedal arm), Then back otf the switch 1/4 turn to
make 0.3 mm (0.01 in) of clearance between the
threaded end and pad. Tighten the locknut firmly.
Connect the brake switch connecto.. Make sure that
the brake lights 90 off when the pedal is released
5. Checkthe brake pedalfree play as described below
Pedal Free Play
1. With the engine off. inspect the free play on the
pedal pad by pushing the pedal by hand-
Free Play: 1 - 5 mm (1/16 - 3/16 in)
2. lf the pedal free play is out of specification, adiust
the brake switch. lf the pedal free play is insuffi-
cient, it may result in brake drag.

Master Cylinder/Brake Booster
Removal/lnstallation
1, Disconnect the brake fluid level switch connectors.
2. Remove the reservoir cap from the master cylinder.
3. Remove the brake fluid from the master cvlinder
reservoir with a syringe.
4. Disconnect the brake lines from the master cylinder.
To prevent spills, cover the line joints with rags or
shop towels.
5. Remove the master cylinder mounting nuts and
wasners.
6. Remove the master cylinder from the brake booster.
CAUTION: Be careful not to bend or damage the
brake lines when removing the master cylinder.
Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle; it may dam.
age the paint; it brake fluid does cont.ct the paint,
wash it oft immediately with water.
7. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the brake booster.
8. Remove the cotter pin and clevis pin from the clevis.
Do not disconnect the clevis by removing it from
the operating rod of the brake booster. lf the clevis
is loosened, adjust the pushrod length before
installing the brake booster (see page 19-15).

clear of the bulkhead.
11. Remove the brake booster from the enqine com-
panment.
12. Install the brake booster and master cylinder in the
reverse order of removal, and note these items:
. When connecting the brake lines, make sure that
there is no interference between the brake lines
and other parts.
. Be careful not to bend or damage the brake lines
when installing the master cylinder.
. lf replacing the master cylinder or brake booster,
check and adjust the pushrod clearance before
installing the master cylinder (see page 19-14).
Fill the master cylinder reservoir, and bleed the
brake system (see page 19-7).
After installation, check the brake pedal height and
brake pedal free play (see page 19-5), and adjust if
necessary.

Pushrod Clearance Adjustment
NOTE: Master cylinder pushrod-to-piston clearance must
be checked and adjustments made, if necessary. before
installing the master cylinder.
1. Set the special tool on the master cylinder body;
push in the center shaft until the top ot it contacts
the end of the secondary piston by turning the ad-justing nut.

ADJUSTING NUT
Without disturbing the center shaft's position, in-

Install the master cylinder nuts, and tighten them to

Connect the booster iniine with a vacuum gauge 0 -
101 kPa (0 - 760 mmHg, 30 in Hg) to the booster's
engine vacuum supply, and maintain an engine
speed that will deliver 66 kPa (500 mmH9, 20 in Hg)
vacuum.
With a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between
the gauge body and the adiusting nut as shown.

lf the clearance between the gauge body and
adjusting nut is 0.4 mm (0.02 in), the pushrod-to-
piston clearance is 0 mm. However. if the clearance
between the gauge body and adjusting nut is 0 mm,
the pushrod-to-piston clearance is 0.4 mm (0.02 in)
or more. Therefore it must be adjusted and
recheck€d.
lf clearance is incorrect, loosen the star locknut, and
turn the adjuster in or out to adjust.
. Adjust the clearance while the specified vacuum
is applied to the booster.
. Hold the clevis while adjusting.
Tighten the star locknut securely.

Brake Booster Inspection
FunctionalTest
1. With the engine stopped, press the brake pedal sev-
eral times to deplete the vacuum reservoir. thenpress the pedal hard, and hold it for 15 seconds. lf
the pedal sinks, either the master cylinder is
bypassing internally, or the brake system (master
cylinder, lines, modulator, proportioning valve. or
caliper) is leaking.
2. Start the engine with the pedal pressed. lf the pedal
sinks slightly. the vacuum booster is operating nor-
mally. lf the pedal height does not vary, the booster
or check valve is faultv.
3. With the engine running, press the brake pedal light-
ly. Apply just enough pressure to hold back auto-
matic transmission creep. lf the brake pedal sinks
more than 10 mm (3/8 in.) in three minutes, the mas-
ter cylinder is faulty. A slight change in pedal height
when the Ay'C compressor cycles on and off is nor-
mal. (The Ay'C compressor load changes the vacuum
available to the booster.)
Leak Test
1.Press the brake pedal with the engine running, then
stop the engine. lf the pedal height does not vary
while pressed for 30 seconds, the vacuum booster is
OK. lf the pedal rises, the booster is faulty.
With the engine stopped, press the brake pedal sev-
eral times using normal pressure. When the pedal is
first pressed. it should be low, On consecutive appli-
cations, the pedal height should gradually rise. lf thepedal position does not vary. check the booster
check valve.
Boostor Chock Valve Test
1. Disconnect the brake booster vacuum hose at the
booster.
2. Start the engine, and let it idle. There should be vac-
uum. lf no vacuum is available, the check valve is
not working properly. Replace the brake booster
vacuum hose and check valve. and retest.

Rear Door Panel Removal and
lnstallation
NOTE: Take care not to scratch the door panel and other
parts.
1. Remove the inner handle (see page 20-5).
2. Remove the screws from the armrest. On '99 - 00
models, remove the screw from the beverage por-
tion. Release the clips that hold the door panel, then

Clutch Inspection
Check the plated parts of the armature plate for color
changes, peeling or other damage. lf there is dam-
age, replace the clutch set.
Check the rotor pulley bearing play and drag by rotat-
ing the rotor pulley by hand. Replace the clutch set
with a new one if it is noisy or has excessive play/drag.
Measure the clearance between the rotor pulley and
the armature plate all the way around. lf the clear-
ance is not within specified limits, the armature plate
must be removed and shims added or removed as
required, following the procedure on page 22-66.
Cloarance: 0.5 t 0.15 mm {0.020 t 0.q)6 in)
NOTE: The shims are available in four thicknesses:
0.1 mm. 0.2 mm. 0.4 mm and 0.5 mm

. Release the field coil connector from the holder, then
disconnect it. Check the thermal protector for conti-
nuity, lf there is no continuity, replace the thermal
prorecror.
NOTE: The thermal protector will have no continuity
above 251.6 to 262.4"F 1122 to 128"C). When the tem-perature drops below 240.8 to 219.8"F (116 to 104'C),
the thermal protector will have continuity.
Check resistance of the field coil.
Field Coil Resistance: 3.2 i 0.15 ohms at 68"F {20'C)
lf resistance is not within specifications, replace the
field coil.
