P BRAKE SYSTEM k FIRST PEDAL VACUUM GAUG DEPRESSION FORCE GAUGE POWER BRAKE UNIT Quick Inspection, On-vehicle Power brake unit function check (Simple method) ii Step 1 1. With the engine stopped, depress the pedal a few times. 2. With the pedal depressed, start the engine. 3. If immediately after the engine starts the pedal moves down slightly, the unit is operating. Step 2 1. Start the engine and let it run 1 or 2 minutes. 2. Stop the engine. 3. Depress the pedal with the usual force. 4. If the first pedal stroke is long and becomes shorter with subsequent strokes, the unit is operating. 5. If a problem is found, inspect for damage or improper connection of the check valve or vacuum hose. Repair if necessary, and inspect it once again. Step 3 1. Start the engine. 2. Depress the pedal with the usual force. 3. Stop the engine with the pedal depressed. 4. Hold the pedal down for about 30 seconds. 5. If the pedal height does not change, the unit is operating. ,, 6. If there is a problem, check for damage or improper con- nection of the check valve or vacuum hose. Repair if necessary, and check once again. If the nature of the problem is still not clear after following the 3 steps above, follow the more detailed check described in "Method using tester," below. (Method using tester) Connect the SST, vacuum gauge, and pedal depression force gauge as shown in the figure. After bleeding the air from the SST, conduct the test as described in the 3 steps below. Inspection using gauges Connect the SST gauges, a vacuum gauge (A), and a pedal depression gauge (B) as shown. Bleed the air from the SST gauges before performing the following tests. a) Checking for vacuum loss Unloaded condition 1. Start the engine. 2. Stop the engine when the vacuum gauge indicates 66.7 kPa (500 mmHg, 19.7 inHg). 3. Observe the vacuum gauge for 15 seconds. If the gauge indicates 63.4-66.6 kPa (475-500 mmHg, ,, 18.7-19.7 inHg), the unit is operating. Gartner Banana

BRAKE SYSTEM P (20 kgf, 44 Ibf) (20 kgf, 44 Ibf) Loaded condition 1. Start the engine. 2. Depress the brake pedal with a force of 196 N (20 kgf, 44 Ibf). 3. With the brake pedal depressed, stop the engine when the vacuum gauge indicates 66.7 kPa I500 mmHg, 19.7 inHg). 4. Observe the vacuum gauge for 15 seconds. If the gauge indicates 63.4-66.6 kPa (475--500 mmHg, 18.7-19.7 inHg), the unit is operating. b) Checking for hydraulic pressure 1. If with the engine stopped (vacuum 0 kPa (0 mmHg, 0 inHg}) the fluid pressure is within specification, the unit is operating. 1 Pedal force Fluid pressure 2. Start the engine. Depress the brake pedal when the vac- uum reaches 66.7 kPa (500 mmHg, 19.7 inHg). If the fluid pressure is within specification, the unit is operat- ing. 1 96 N {20 kgf, 44 Ibf) I Pedal force I Fluid pressure I 1,079-1,177 kPa {I 1-1 2 kgf/cm2, 156-1 71 psi) lnspection of Check Valve 196 N {20 kgf, 44 Ibf) Note There is an arrow on the hose to indicate direction of hose installation. 5,199--5,494 kPa {53-56 kgf/cm2, 754--796 psi} lnspection 1. Disconnect both ends of the vacuum hose. 2. Apply suction and pressure to the hose from the engine side. Verify that air flows only toward the engine. If air passes in both directions or not at all, replace the vac- uum hose (along with the check valve). Gartner Banana

WHEEL ALIGNMENT WHEEL ALIGNMENT FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT Specifications (Unladed*l) PRE-INSPECTION 1. Check the tire inflations, and adjust to the recommended d pressure if necessary. 2. lnspect the front wheel bearing play and correct if neces- sary. 3. lnspect the wheel and tire runouts. 4. Inspect the ball joints and steering linkage for excessive looseness. 5. The vehicle must be on level ground and carry no lug- gage or passengers. 6. Measure the height from the center of the wheel to the fender brim. The difference between left and right mea- surement must not exceed 10mm (0.39 in), and the rear measurement must be larger then the front measure- ment by 10-30mm (0.4--1.1 in). Caution The proper caster and camber angle vary depend- ing on the vehicle height. Refer to the following and to page R-9 for the specifications. Inspection and adjustment of wheel alignment must be done with the vehicle unladed*'. . .
