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 so that 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. Locked
wheels and sliding tires do not indicate brake
efficiency, since heavily braked but turning wheels
will stop the vehicle in less distance than locked
wheels. More tire-to-road friction is present with a
heavily braked turning tire then with a sliding tire.
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 tread
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
“Neutral”, 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 reservoir level will result from normal lining
wear, an abnormally low level in resevoir 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

5C – 4 POWER ASSISTED BRAKE SYSTEM
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 low from the “MAX” mark if the
front and rear linings are worn. This is not abnormal.
WARNING LIGHT OPERATION
When the ignition switch is in the START position, the
“BRAKE” warning light should glow and go OFF when
the ignition switch returns to the ON position.
The following conditions will activate the “BRAKE”
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 “BRAKE” light ON.
3. During engine cranking the “BRAKE” light should
remain ON. This notifies the driver that the
warning circuit is operating properly.
4. Low vacuum warning light. The vacuum warning
device is equipped on the diesel engine equipped
vehicles. The “BRAKE” light comes on when the
reserved vacuum is lowered to a critical level or
power brake line is damaged.
NOTE:
Depressing the brake pedal repeatedly may cause the
brake warning light to come ON when the engine is
running at idling speed or at low speed. This is
because the amount of vacuum is used more than
that supplied by the vacuum pump, however, no
problem will occur actually.
If the lamp is still lighting even after 2 or 3 seconds at
idling speed, the vacuum line may be defective.

27. Depress the brake pedal to check if you feel
“sponginess” after the air has been removed from
all wheel cylinders and calipers. If the pedal feels
“spongy”, the entire bleeding procedure must be
repeated.
28. After the bleeding operation is completed on each
individual wheel, check the level of brake fluid in
the reservoir and replenish up to the “MAX” level if
necessary.
29. Attach the reservoir cap.
•If the diaphragm inside the cap is deformed,
reform it and install.
30. Stop the engine.
FLUSHING BRAKE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
It is recommended that the entire hydraulic system be
thoroughly flushed with clean brake fluid whenever
new parts are installed in the hydraluic system.
Approximately one quart of fluid is required to flush
the hydraulic system.
The system must be flushed if there is any doubt as to
the grade of fluid in the system or if fluid has been
used which contains the slightest trace of mineral oil.
All rubber parts that have been subjected to a
contaminated fluid must be replaced.
BRAKE PIPES AND HOSES
The hydraulic brake system components are
interconnected by special steel piping and flexible
hoses. Flexible hoses are used between the frame and
the front calipers, the frame and rear axle case and the
rear axle and the rear calipers.
When the hydraulic pipes have been disconnected for
any reason, the brake system must be bled after
reconnecting the pipe; refer to “Bleeding Brake
Hydraulic System” in this section.
BRAKE HOSE INSPECTION
The brake hoses should be inspected at least twice a
year. The brake hose assembly should be checked for
road hazard, cracks and chafing of the outer cover,
and for leaks and blisters. Inspect for proper routing
and mounting of the hose. A brake hose that rubs on
suspension components will wear and eventually fail.
A light and mirror may be needed for an adequate
inspection. If any of the above conditions are
observed on the brake hose, adjust or replace the
hose as necessary.
CAUTION:
Never allow brake components such as calipers to
hang from the brake hoses, as damage to the hoses
may occur.

CHECKING BRAKE PEDAL HEIGHT
The push rod serves as the brake pedal stopper when
the pedal is fully released. Brake pedal height
adjustment should be performed as follows:
Adjust Brake Pedal
1. Measure the brake pedal height after making sure
the pedal is fully returned by the pedal return
spring.
Pedal height (L2) must be measured after starting
the engine and revving it several times.

NOTE:
Pedal free play (L1) must be measured after turning
off the engine and stepping on the brake pedal firmly
five times or more.
2. If the measured value is not within the above
range, adjust the brake pedal as follows:
a) Disconnect the stop light switch connector.
b) Loosen the stop light switch lock nut.
c) Rotate the stop light switch so that it moves
away from the brake pedal.
d) Loosen the lock nut on the push rod.
e) Adjust the brake pedal to the specified height
by rotating the push rod in the appropriate
direction.
f) Tighten the lock nut to the specified torque.
