DIAGNOSIS
DIAGNOSIS TABLE
ConditionPossible CauseCorrection
Abnormal noise
Loose universal joint bolt.

Spider bearing worn out or stuck.

Wear spider.Tighten universal joint bolt.
Replace.
Replace propeller shaft.
Vibration
Deformed propeller shaft.Replace.
PROPELLER SHAFT JOINT CHECK
If universal joints are suspected of producing chattering or rattling
noise, inspect them for wear. Check to see if cross spider rattles in
yokes or if splines are worn down and replace defective propeller
shaft with new one.
Noise coming from universal joint can be easily distinguished from
other noises because rhythm of chattering or rattling is in step with
cruising speed. Noise is pronounced particularly on standing start
or in coasting condition (when braking effect of engine is showing
in the drive line).

BRAKES 5-9
BRAKE PEDAL FREE HEIGHT CHECK
Remove foot rest and displace carpet and dash silencer(s) so as to
measure brake pedal free height between pedal face and asphalt
sheet installed on dash panel.
Brake pedal free height ªaº from asphalt sheet:
208 ± 218 mm (8.19 ± 8.58 in.)
If the measurement is not within the specification, check the posi-
tion of booster push rod clevis and / or stop light switch according
to the instruction shown in this section.
The free height varies depending on installation position of booster
push rod clevis and stop light switch.
BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH ADJUSTMENT
Adjustment should be made as follows when installing switch. Pull
up brake pedal toward you and while holding it there, adjust switch
position so that clearance between end of thread and brake pedal
return cushion (shown as ªbº in figure).
Then tighten lock nut to specified torque.
Clearance ªbº: 1.5 ± 2.0 mm (0.06 ± 0.08 in.)
Tightening Torque
(b): 7.5 N
.m (0.75 kg-m, 5.5 lb-ft)
EXCESSIVE PEDAL TRAVEL CHECK
1) Remove foot rest and displace carpet and dash silencer(s).
2) Start engine.
3) Depress brake pedal a few times.
4) With brake pedal depressed with approximately 30 kg (66 lbs)
load, measure pedal to asphalt sheet clearance ªcº.
Clearance ªcº: over 115 mm (4.53 in.)
5) If clearance ªcº is less than specification, the most possible
cause is either rear brake shoes are worn out beyond limit or air
is in lines.
Should clearance ªcº remain less than specification even after
replacement of brake shoes and bleeding of system, other pos-
sible but infrequent cause is malfunction of rear brake shoe ad-
justers or booster push rod length out of adjustment.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
MASTER CYLINDER ASSEMBLY
The master cylinder has two pistons and three piston cups. Its hydraulic pressure is produced in the primary (ªaº
in the figure below) and secondary (ªbº) chambers. The hydraulic pressure produced in the primary chamber (ªaº)
acts on the front (for vehicle without ABS, rear) wheel brakes.
Also, the hydraulic pressure produced in the secondary chamber (ªbº) acts on the rear (for vehicle without ABS,
front) wheel brakes.
NOTE:
Replace all components included in repair kits to service this master cylinder. Lubricate rubber parts with
clean, fresh brake fluid to ease assembly. Do not use lubricated shop air on brake parts as damage to rub-
ber components may result. If any hydraulic component is removed or brake line disconnected, bleed the
brake system.
The torque values specified are for dry, unlubricated fasteners.
BOOSTER ASSEMBLY
The booster is located between the master cylinder and the brake pedal. It is so designed that the force created
when the brake pedal is depressed is mechanically increased combined with the engine vacuum.
The booster has two diaphragms of
ù7.5 in. (191 mm) effective diameter.
CAUTION:

Never disassemble brake booster assembly. If it is found faulty, replace it with new assembly.

The torque values specified are for dry, unlubricated fasteners. If any hydraulic component is re-
moved or brake line disconnected, bleed the brake system.

LSPV (Load Sensing Proportioning Valve) ASSEMBLY (if equipped)
As shown in figure below, LSPV is included within the brake circuit which connects the master cylinder and the rear
wheel brake. It controls the hydraulic pressure applied to the rear wheel brake according to the loaded state of the
vehicle (or weight of the load), whereby preventing the rear wheels from getting locked prematurely.
Also, it releases the above described control over the hydraulic pressure applied to the rear wheel brake, should
any failure occur in the hydraulic circuit of the front wheel brake so that the hydraulic pressure produced in the mas-
ter cylinder is applied to the rear wheel brake directly to operate it.
CONSTITUTION
The LSPV components are grouped into three sections as follows.
ªAº: Sensor section
The main parts in this section are a lever and a spring which senses variation in the vehicle height as affected
by the loaded condition and converts it into the load.
ªBº: Hydraulic pressure control section
Included in this section are a stepped plunger and valve mechanism to execute proportional control.
ªCº: Fail-safe section
The main parts in this section are a chamber which draws in the hydraulic pressure from the front wheel brake
system and a fail-safe piston which releases the valve mechanism in the control section connected to the rear
wheel brake, should any failure occur in the front wheel brake system.

INSPECTION
Inspect all disassembled parts for wear or damage, and replace
parts if necessary.
NOTE:

Wash disassembled parts with brake fluid.

Do not reuse piston cups.
Inspect master cylinder bore for scoring or corrosion. It is best to re-
place corroded cylinder.
Corrosion can be identified as pits or excessive roughness.
NOTE:
Polishing bore or master cylinder with cast aluminum body
with anything abrasive is prohibited, as damage to cylinder
bore may occur.
Rinse cylinder in clean brake fluid. Shake excess rinsing fluid from
cylinder. Do not use a cloth to dry cylinder, as lint from cloth cannot
be kept from cylinder bore surfaces.
ASSEMBLY
NOTE:

See NOTE at the beginning of this section.

Before assembling, wash each part in fluid recommended to
use for that vehicle.
1) Install secondary piston assembly into cylinder.
2) Install primary piston assembly in cylinder.
3) Depress, and install circlip.
4) Install piston stopper bolt with pistons pushed in all the way and
tighten it to specified torque (For vehicle without ABS).
