INTRODUCTION TO MOTORIST ASSURANCE PROGRAM (MAP)
OVERVIEW OF MOTORIST ASSURANCE PROGRAM
The Motorist Assurance Program is the consumer outreach
effort of the Automotive Maintenance and Repair Association, Inc.
(AMRA). Participation in the Motorist Assurance Program is drawn from
retailers, suppliers, independent repair facilities, vehicle
manufacturers and industry associations.
Our organization's mission is to strengthen the relationship
between the consumer and the auto repair industry. We produce
materials that give motorists the information and encouragement to
take greater responsibility for their vehicles-through proper,
manufacturer-recommended, maintenance. We encourage participating
service and repair shops (including franchisees and dealers) to adopt:\
1) a Pledge of Assurance to their Customers and
2) the Motorist Assurance Program Standards of Service.
All participating service providers have agreed to subscribe
to this Pledge and to adhere to the promulgated Standards of Service
demonstrating to their customers that they are serious about customer
satisfaction.
These Standards of Service require that an inspection of the
vehicle's (problem) system be made and the results communicated to the\
customer according to industry standards. Given that the industry did
not have such standards, the Motorist Assurance Program successfully
promulgated industry inspection communication standards in 1994-95 for
the following systems: Exhaust, Brakes, ABS, Steering and Suspension,
Engine Maintenance and Performance, HVAC, and Electrical Systems.
Further, revisions to all of these inspection communication standards
are continually re-published. In addition to these, standards for
Drive Train and Transmissions have recently been promulgated.
Participating shops utilize these Uniform Inspection & Communication
Standards as part of the inspection process and for communicating
their findings to their customers.
The Motorist Assurance Program continues to work
cooperatively and proactively with government agencies and consumer
groups toward solutions that both benefit the customer and are
mutually acceptable to both regulators and industry. We maintain the
belief that industry must retain control over how we conduct our
business, and we must be viewed as part of the solution and not part
of the problem. Meetings with state and other government officials
(and their representatives), concerned with auto repair and/or
consumer protection, are conducted. Feedback from these sessions is
brought back to the association, and the program adjusted as needed.
To assure auto repair customers recourse if they were not

INTRODUCTION
This article contains information on repair and service of
basic hydraulic brake system. If vehicle is equipped with anti-lock
brakes, also see appropriate ANTI-LOCK article.
DESCRIPTION
Brake system consists of a master cylinder, vacuum power
brake booster, proportioning valve and self-adjusting assembly.
Montero has a Load-Sensing Proportioning Valve (LSPV). All models are
equipped with front disc brakes and either rear disc or drum brakes.
Parking brake assembly activates rear brakes.
BLEEDING BRAKE SYSTEM
BLEEDING PROCEDURES
Bleed brakes whenever hydraulic lines are opened or pedal
feels spongy. Bleed system in appropriate sequence. See
BRAKE LINE BLEEDING SEQUENCE table. Use only DOT 3 or DOT 4 approved
fluid and DO NOT mix fluid types.

ADJUSTMENTS
BRAKE PEDAL HEIGHT, FREE PLAY & CLEARANCE
1) To measure brake pedal height, pull up carpet under brake
pedal. Measure distance between floor board and middle of brake pedal
pad surface with brake pedal released. See BRAKE PEDAL HEIGHT
SPECIFICATIONS table.
2) To adjust pedal height, separate connector from stoplight
switch, and loosen switch lock nut. Back-off switch so it does not
contact brake pedal arm. Loosen master cylinder push rod lock nut.
Adjust brake pedal height by rotating master cylinder push rod until
brake pedal height is within specification.

(62-73 kPa) of vacuum applied to the brake booster.
PARKING/EMERGENCY BRAKE
NOTE: Adjust service brakes before adjusting parking brake.
Start engine, and apply brake pedal. Pull parking brake lever
with a force of 44-45 lbs. (196-200 N). Parking brake lever should
move up 3-5 notches on Diamante, Stealth and 3000GT, 4-6 notches on
Montero, and 5-7 notches on all other models. If adjustment is
necessary, turn adjusting nut located under console or at end of cable
rod. See Fig. 6.

REAR BRAKE SHOES
Fully release parking brake and depress brake pedal several
times to center shoes and adjust brake shoe clearance. Adjust shoes so
brake shoes lightly contact brake drum. Adjust parking brake, and
check pedal travel. Rotate brake drum to verify free movement.
STOPLIGHT SWITCH
Loosen lock nut, and adjust switch-to-pedal arm clearance to
0.02-0.04" (0.5-1.0 mm). Tighten lock nut. DO NOT depress master
cylinder push rod during stoplight switch adjustment.
TESTING
Page 225 of 1501
POWER BRAKE BOOSTER
System Check
1) Run engine for 1-2 minutes. Shut engine off, and depress
brake pedal several times with normal pressure. If pedal height
gradually becomes higher with successive applications, power brake
booster is okay. If pedal height remains steady, power brake booster
is not operating properly, go to next step.
2) With engine stopped, depress brake pedal repeatedly until
pedal height no longer falls. Hold brake pedal down, and start engine.
If pedal moves downward slightly, power brake booster is okay. If
pedal height does not change, power brake booster is not operating
properly, go to next step.
3) With engine running, press and hold brake pedal. Shut off
engine. Hold brake pedal for 30 seconds. Brake pedal height should not
change. If pedal rises, power brake booster is not operating properly,
go to next step.
4) If brake booster operation is not as specified in each
step, disconnect vacuum hose at brake booster and check for sufficient
vacuum with engine running. Also check brake booster check valve
operation. Repair or replace as necessary.
Check Valve Inspection
Remove vacuum hose from power brake booster. Do not remove
check valve from hose. Check valve should hold vacuum in one direction
and allow air to pass in other direction.
LOAD-SENSING PROPORTIONING VALVE (LSPV)
Montero
1) Before diagnosing Load-Sensing Proportioning Valve (LSPV)\
,
ensure all other brake components are operating properly. When all
other brake system components are determined to be okay, ensure LSPV
spring length is within specification. See Fig. 1. See LOAD-SENSING
PROPORTIONING VALVE (LSPV) under ADJUSTMENTS.
2) After spring length is determined to be within
specification, connect pressure gauges to input and output ports of
LSPV. See Fig. 7. Bleed brake system. See BLEEDING BRAKE SYSTEM.

3) With vehicle unloaded at correct ride height and LSPV
spring correctly adjusted to 8.9" (227 mm), slowly depress brake pedal\
Page 232 of 1501
and remove drum. Remove shoe return springs and shoe hold-down
springs. See Fig. 11.
2) Disconnect parking brake cable from lever. Remove brake
shoes and adjuster assembly. Remove parking brake lever snap ring, and
disengage lever from brake shoe.

Installation
1) To install, reverse removal procedure. Apply Lubriplate to
shoe-to-backing plate bosses, adjuster assembly threads and parking
brake lever pin.
2) Adjust shoes to lightly contact brake drum. See REAR BRAKE
SHOES under ADJUSTMENTS. Depress brake pedal to center shoes, and
check pedal travel. Rotate brake drum to ensure free movement.
