1. Loosen stop lamp switch by rotating it counter-clockwise by
45#0#.
2. Loosen input rod lock nut (A), then rotate input rod, set pedal to
the specified height, and tighten lock nut (A).
CAUTION:
Confirm threaded end of input rod remains inside the cle-
vis.
3. Pull pedal by hand and hold it. Press stop lamp switch until its
threaded end contacts the stopper rubber.

Checking Brake Fluid LevelEFS000C5
lConfirm reservoir tank fluid level is within specifications
(between MAX and MIN lines).
lVisually check around reservoir tank for fluid leaks.
lIf fluid level is excessively low, check brake system for leaks.
lIf warning lamp remains illuminated after parking lever is
released, check brake system for fluid leakage.
Checking Brake LineEFS001C5
CAUTION:
If leakage occurs around joints, retighten or, if necessary, replace damaged parts.
1. Check brake line (tube and hoses) for cracks, deterioration or
other damage. Replace and damaged parts.
2. Check for oil leakage by fully depressing brake pedal while
engine is running.
Changing Brake FluidEFS000C3
CAUTION:
lRefill with new brake fluid “DOT 3 or DOT 4”.
lAlways keep fluid level higher than minimum line on reservoir tank.
lNever reuse drained brake fluid.
lBe careful not to splash brake fluid on spill or splash on painted areas; it may cause paint damage.
If brake fluid is splashed on painted areas, wash it away water immediately.
1. Connect a vinyl tube to the air bleeder.
2. Drain brake fluid gradually from the air bleeder of each wheel
while depressing the brake pedal.
3. Turn OFF ignition switch. Remove ABS actuator connector.

BRAKE PIPING AND HOSE
5. Refill brake fluid until new brake fluid comes out of each air bleeder.
6. Afterwards, bleed air.
Removal and Installation of Rear Brake Piping and Brake HoseEFS000C8
REMOVAL
CAUTION:
lDo not allow brake fluid to spill or splash on painted surfaces. Brake fluid can seriously damage
paint. If it gets on a painted surface, wipe it off immediately and wash with water.
lDo not bend or twist the brake hose sharply, or strongly pull it.
lCover brake fluid line connections to prevent dust and other foreign material from entering.
1. Connect a vinyl tube to the air bleeder.
2. Drain brake fluid gradually from the air bleeder of each wheel while depressing the brake pedal.
3. Using a flare nut wrench, remove brake tube flare nuts and dis-
connect brake tube from the brake hose.
4. Remove lock spring and union bolts.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
lRefill with new brake fluid “DOT 3” or “DOT 4”.
lNever reuse drained brake fluid.
1. Connect brake hose to the brake tube. Temporarily tighten flare nut by hand as far as it will go.
2. Secure brake hose with lock spring and connect wheel-side hose to the caliper assembly.
3. Tighten union bolts to the specified torque. Then, tighten flare nut to the specified torque with a flare nut
torque wrench.
4. Refill brake fluid until new brake fluid comes out of each air
bleeder.
5. Afterwards, bleed air.
InspectionEFS000C9
CAUTION:
If any connection leaks, retighten it. Replace any damaged parts.
1. Check hose, tube, and connections for fluid leaks, damage, twist, deformation, contact with other parts,
and loose connections.
2. Run the engine. Depress brake pedal and hold it for approximately 5 seconds while checking each part

On-Vehicle Inspection and ServiceEFS000CC
FUNCTION INSPECTION
With the engine stopped, discharge stored vacuum by depressing
brake pedal several times at 5 second intervals. With the brake
pedal fully depressed, start the engine.between Confirm that clear-
ance between brake pedal and the floor panel decreases when
engine vacuum stabilizes.
AIRTIGHTNESS INSPECTION
lRun the engine at idle for approximately 1 minute. Stop it after
applying vacuum to the booster. Depress the brake pedal sev-
eral times with normal force to discharge the stored vacuum.
Confirm that clearance between brake pedal and the floor panel
gradually increases as the brake pedal is depressed.
lRun the engine. Depress and hold the brake pedal then stop the
engine. Keep the brake pedal depressed for 30 seconds or more
and make sure the pedal stroke does not change.
Removal and InstallationEFS000CD
REMOVAL
CAUTION:
lBe careful not to deform or bend brake piping while removing and installing the brake booster.
lReplace clevis pin if it is damaged.
lBe careful not to damage brake booster stud bolt threads. If brake booster is tilted or inclined dur-
ing installation, the dash panel may damage the threads.
lBe sure to install the check valve in the correct orientation.
1. Remove vacuum piping from the brake booster.
2. Remove master cylinder.
3. Remove snap pin and clevis pin on passenger compartment clevis. Remove input rod from the brake
pedal.
4. Remove brake booster and brake pedal assembly mounting nuts.
5. Remove booster assembly from the engine compartment.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Output rod length inspection
1. Using a handy vacuum pump, apply a vacuum of -66.7 kPa (-500 mmHg,-19.69 inHg) to the brake
booster.

VACUUM LINES
CHECK VALVE INSPECTION
Quick Inspection
The check valve is incorporated in the vacuum hose. Blow air into
vacuum hose to inspect the check valve. The check valve is normal
when air can only be blown in from the booster side.
CAUTION:
If air can blow both ways through the vacuum hose, replace
hose and check valve as a set.
Airtightness Inspection
Use a hand-held vacuum pump to check.
SFIA0209E
When connected to booster side (1):
Vacuum decrease should be within 1.3 kPa
(10 mmHg, 0.39 inHg) for 15 seconds under
a vacuum of -66.7 kPa (-500 mmHg, -19.69
inHg)
When connected to engine side (2):
No vacuum will be applied

System DescriptionEFS001CJ
ABS FUNCTION
lDuring ABS operation, brake pedal lightly vibrates and its mechanical noise may be heard. This is a nor-
mal condition.
lWhen starting engine, or just after starting vehicle, brake pedal may vibrate. Also motor operating noise
may be heard from engine compartment. This is a normal status of operation check.
lWhen vehicle drives on rough, gravel, or snowy (fresh deep snow) road, the following conditions occur.
Stopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles without ABS.
4WD FUNCTION
lElectronically controlled 4WD is controlled by the same control module as that for ABS (4WD/ABS control
unit). 4WD/ABS control unit controls both electronically-controlled 4WD and ABS, based on input signals
from several sensors.
lIf electrical system-related malfunction occurred in 4WD/ABS system, control unit illuminates the following
lamps: 4WD warning lamp and/or ABS warning lamp on meter control unit assembly. This notifies driver of
malfunction. At the same time, control unit indicates malfunctioning part detected by self-diagnosis with
flashing pattern of LED. Indication on electronic system diagnosis tester (CONSULT) corresponds to this
flashing pattern as shown below.
