POWER±ASSISTED BRAKE SYSTEM
Diagnosis
Road Testing The Brakes
Brake Test
Brakes should be tested on a dry, clean, reasonably
smooth and level roadway. A true test of brake
performance cannot be made if the roadway is wet,
greasy or covered with loose dirt where all tires do not grip
the road equally. Testing will also be adversely affected if
the roadway is crowned so as to throw the weight of the
vehicle toward wheels on one side or if the roadway is so
rough that wheels tend to bounce. Test the brakes at
different vehicle speeds with both light and heavy pedal
pressure; however, avoid locking the wheels and sliding
the tires. Braking without locking the tires will stop the
vehicle in less distance than braking to a skid (which has
no brake efficiency). More tire to road friction is present
while braking without locking the tires than braking to a
skid.
The standard brake system is designed and balanced to
avoid locking the wheels except at very high deceleration
levels.
It is designed this way because the shortest stopping
distance and best control is achieved without brake
lock±up.
Because of high deceleration capability, a firmer pedal
may be felt at higher deceleration levels.
External Conditions That Affect Brake Performance
1. Tires: Tires having unequal contact and grip on the
road will cause unequal braking. Tires must be
equally inflated, identical in size, and the thread
pattern of right and left tires must be approximately
equal.
2. Vehicle Loading: A heavily loaded vehicle requires
more braking effort.
3. Wheel Alignment: Misalignment of the wheels,
particularly in regard to excessive camber and caster,
will cause the brakes to pull to one side.
Brake Fluid Leaks
With engine running at idle and the transmission in
ªNeutralº, depress the brake pedal and hold a constant
foot pressure on the pedal. If pedal gradually falls away
with the constant pressure, the hydraulic system may be
leaking.
Check the master cylinder fluid level. While a slight drop in
the reservoir level will result from normal lining wear, an
abnormally low level in reservoir indicates a leak in the
system. The hydraulic system may be leaking internally
as well as externally. Refer to
Master Cylinder Inspection.
Also, the system may appear to pass this test but still
have slight leakage. If fluid level is normal, check the
vacuum booster push rod length. If an incorrect length
push rod is found, adjust or replace the push rod. Check
the brake pedal travel and the parking brake adjustment.
When checking the fluid level, the master cylinder fluid
level may be lower than the ªMAXº mark if the front and
rear linings are worn. This is normal.
Warning Light Operation
When the ignition switch is in the START position, the
ªBRAKEº warning light should turn on and go off when the
ignition switch returns to the ON position.
The following conditions will activate the ªBRAKEº light:
1. Parking brake applied. The light should be on
whenever the parking brake is applied and the ignition
switch is on.
2. Low fluid level. A low fluid level in the master cylinder
will turn the ªBRAKEº light on.
3. During engine cranking the ªBRAKEº light should
remain on. This notifies the driver that the warning
circuit is operating properly.

Service Precaution
WARNING: THIS VEHICLE HAS A SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS). REFER TO THE SRS
COMPONENT AND WIRING LOCATION VIEW IN
ORDER TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOU ARE
PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE SRS
COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING. WHEN YOU
ARE PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE SRS
COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING, REFER TO
THE SRS SERVICE INFORMATION. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN POSSIBLE
AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL INJURY, OR
OTHERWISE UNNEEDED SRS SYSTEM REPAIRS.
CAUTION: Always use the correct fastener in the
proper location. When you replace a fastener, use
ONLY the exact part number for that application.
ISUZU will call out those fasteners that require a
replacement after removal. ISUZU will also call out
the fasteners that require thread lockers or thread
sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not
use supplemental coatings (Paints, greases, or other
corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or
fasteners joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings
adversely affect the fastener torque and the joint
clamping force, and may damage the fasteners.
When you install fasteners, use the correct
tightening sequence and specifications. Following
these instructions can help you avoid damage to
parts and systems.
General Description
Pulling up the parking brake lever by hand will set the
parking brake. By means of a ratchet type lock, the lever
can be held in that position until it is released. The position
of the lever is transmitted through cable/lever systems to
the rear wheels. These parts are designed to obtain
sufficient braking force even when parking on slopes.
When the parking brake is set, or when the ignition SW is
in theªONº position, the brake warning light illuminates.
The rear wheel parking brake is a duo±servo brake
(mechanical inside expansion type) built in the rear disc
brake. Parking brake adjustment is made through the
adjusting hole (bored through back plate). Parking brake
lever stroke should be adjusted to 6±8 notches. Refer to
Parking Brake Adjustment in this section.
