Avoid mixing brake fluid of different brands to pre-
vent the fluid performance from degrading.

When brake fluid is supplemented, be careful not to
allow any dust into the reservoir.

Use fresh DOT3 or 4 brake fluid when replacing or
refilling the fluid.

2. AIR TIGHTNESS CHECK
Start engine, and run it for 1 to 2 minutes, then turn it off.
Depress brake pedal several times applying the same
pedal force as that used in ordinary braking operations.
The pedal stroke should be greatest on the 1st depression,
and it should become smaller with each successive
depression. If no change occurs in the pedal height while
in a depressed state, brake booster is faulty.
NOTE:

In the event of defective operation, inspect the condition
of the check valve and vacuum hose.

Replace them if faulty and conduct the test again.

If no improvement is observed, check precisely with
gauges.
G4M0914
3. OPERATION CHECK
1) With engine off, depress brake pedal several times
applying the same pedal force and make sure that the
pedal height does not vary with each depression of the
pedal.
2) With brake pedal depressed, start engine.
3) As engine starts, brake pedal should move slightly
toward the floor. If no change occurs in the pedal height,
brake booster is faulty.
NOTE:
If faulty, check precisely with gauges.
4. LOADED AIR TIGHTNESS CHECK
Depress brake pedal while engine is running, and turn off
engine while the pedal is still depressed. Keep the pedal
depressed for 30 seconds; if no change occurs in the pedal
height, brake booster is functioning normally; if the pedal
height increases, it is faulty.
NOTE:
If faulty, check precisely with gauges.

5. CHECKING WITH GAUGES
Connect gauges as shown in Figure. After bleeding air from
pressure gauges, proceed to each check.
G4M0746
6. AIR TIGHTNESS CHECK
1) Start engine and keep it running until a vacuum of 66.7
kPa (500 mmHg, 19.69 inHg) = point A is indicated on
vacuum gauge. Do not depress brake pedal.
2) Stop engine and watch the gauge. If the vacuum drop
range is less than 3.3 kPa (25 mmHg, 0.98 inHg) within 15
seconds after stopping engine, brake booster is functioning
properly.
If defective, the cause may be one of those listed below.

Check valve malfunction

Leak from vacuum hose

Leak from the shell jointed portion or stud bolt welded
portion

Damaged diaphragm

Leak from valve body seal and bearing portion

Leak from plate and seal assembly portion

Leak from poppet valve assembly portion
G4M0747
7. LOADED AIR TIGHTNESS CHECK
1) Start engine and depress brake pedal with pedal force
of 196 N (20 kg, 44 lb). Keep engine running until a vacuum
of 66.7 kPa (500 mmHg, 19.69 inHg) = point B is indicated
on vacuum gauge while the pedal is still depressed.
2) Stop engine and watch vacuum gauge.
If the vacuum drop range is less than 3.3 kPa (25 mmHg,
0.98 inHg) within 15 seconds after stopping engine, brake
booster is functioning properly.
If defective, refer to“AIR TIGHTNESS CHECK”described
above.

Then, check the fluid pressure when brake pedal is
depressed. The pressure must be greater than the stan-
dard value listed below.

9. BOOSTING ACTION CHECK
Set the vacuum gauge reading at 66.7 kPa (500 mmHg,
19.69 inHg) by running engine. Then, check the fluid pres-
sure when brake pedal is depressed. The pressure must
be greater than the standard value listed below.

D: HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
1) Be careful not to drop brake booster. Brake booster
should be discarded if it has been dropped.
2) Use special care when handling operating rod.
If excessive force is applied to operating rod, sufficient to
cause a change in the angle in excess of ±3°, it may result
in damage to the power piston cylinder.

A: REMOVAL
1) Drain brake fluid from reservoir of master cylinder.
2) Remove adjusting nut and cable clamp, and disconnect
PHV cable from cable bracket on engine.
3) Detach PHV cable from clips.
4) Remove cable clamp, and disconnect PHV cable from
PHV stay.
CAUTION:
Carefully protect boots and inner cable from damage
when disconnecting PHV cable.
5) Disconnect brake pipes from PHV.
CAUTION:

Pay attention not to drop brake fluid onto body
painting since it may dissolve paint.

Pay attention not to damage hexagonal head of flare
nut by using pipe wrench without fail.
6) Detach PHV along with support from side frame.
CAUTION:
Exercise utmost care to prevent foreign matter from
entering into PHV when removing it.
B: INSPECTION
Check up removed parts as follows, and replace defective
ones.
1) Check if boots of PHV cable are damaged or degraded,
and if inner cable is damaged or corroded.
2) Check if return spring is worn out, damaged or cor-
roded.
3) Confirm that rolling sound of ball is heard with PHV
inclined and lever rotates smoothly.
CAUTION:
Never disassemble PHV. Replace entire PHV assembly
if necessary.

Grease:
SUNLIGHT 2 (Part No. 003602010)
7) Be sure to bleed air from the system.
CAUTION:
After replacing PHV cable or clutch cable with new
one, operate clutch pedal about 30 times as a run-
ning-in operation prior to adjustment.
D: ADJUSTMENTS
Confirm stopping and starting performances by activating
hill holder on an uphill road of 3°or higher inclination.
(1) If vehicle does not stop;
Tighten adjusting nut of PHV cable.
(2) If vehicle does not start properly;

Case A—When hill holder is released later than
engagement of clutch pedal (Engine tends to stall.):
Loosen adjusting nut gradually until smooth starting
is enabled.

Case B—When hill holder is released earlier than
engagement of clutch pedal (Vehicle slips down
slightly.):
Tighten adjusting nut so that hill holder is released
later than engagement of clutch pedal (status in Case
A). Then make adjustment the same as in Case A.

5) Perform these steps for the brakes connecting to the
secondary chamber of master cylinder, first, and then for
the ones connecting to primary chamber. With all proce-
dures completed, fully depress the brake pedal and keep
it in that position for approximately 20 seconds to make
sure that there is no leak evident in the entire system.

6) Perform sequence control. (With ABS model) [W15C1].>
7) Check the pedal stroke.
While the engine is idling, depress the brake pedal with a
490 N (50 kg, 110 lb) load and measure the distance
between the brake pedal and steering wheel. With the
brake pedal released, measure the distance between the
pedal and steering wheel again. The difference between
the two measurements must be more than specified.
Specified pedal stroke:
Without ABS
90 mm (3.54 in)
With ABS
95 mm (3.74 in)
When depressing brake pedal with a 490 N (50 kg,
110 lb) load.
(1) Models without ABS
If the distance is more than specifications, there is a
possibility that air is in the brake line. Bleed air from the
brake line.
(2) Models with ABS
If the distance is more than specifications, there is a
possibility air is in the inside of the hydraulic unit.
Therefore, air must be bled from the inside of the
hydraulic unit to the brake pipes in accordance with the
bleeding sequence control.
8) Add brake fluid to the required level (MAX. level) of
reserve tank.
9) As a final step, test run the vehicle at low speed and
apply brakes relatively hard 2 to 3 times to ensure that
brakes provide normal braking action on all four wheels
without dragging and uneven braking.
