Slightly shake the connector vertically and horizontally.
Slightly shake the wire harness vertically and horizontally.
The connector joint, fulcrum of the vibration, and body
through portion are the major areas to be checked thorough-
ly.
Apply slight vibration with a finger to the part of the sensor
considered to be the pr oblem cause and check that the mal-
function occurs. Shake Slightly

3. SYMPTOM SIMULATION
The most dif ficult case in troubleshooting is when there are no problem symptoms occurring. In such\
cases,
a thorough customer problem analysis must be carried out, then simulate \
the same or similar conditions and
environment in which the problem occurred in the customer’s vehicle. No matter how much experience a
technician has, or how skilled he may be, if he proceeds to troubleshoot without c\
onfirming the problem
symptoms he will tend to overlook something important in the repair operation an\
d make a wrong guess
somewhere, which will only lead to a standstill. For example, for a problem which only occurs \
when the en-
gine is cold, or for a problem which occurs due to vibration caused by the road during\
driving, etc., the prob-
lem can never be determined so long as the symptoms are confirmed with t\
he engine hot condition or the
vehicle at a standstill. Since vibration, heat or water penetration (moisture) is l\
ikely cause for problem which
is difficult to reproduce, the symptom simulation tests introduced here are ef\
fective measures in that the ex-
ternal causes are applied to the vehicle in a stopped condition.
Important Points in the Symptom Simulation Test:
In the symptom simulation test, the problem symptoms should of course be c\
onfirmed, but the problem area
or parts must also be found out. To do this, narrow down the possible problem circuits according to the symp-
toms before starting this test and connect a tester beforehand. After that, \
carry out the symptom simulation
test, judging whether the circuit being tested is defective or normal and also confirming the \
problem symp-
toms at the same time. Refer to the problem symptoms table for each syst\
em to narrow down the possible
causes of the symptom.

HEAT METHOD: When the problem seems to occur when the suspect area is heated.

NOTICE: 3 WATER SPRINKLING METHOD:
(1)
(2)
4 OTHER: When a malfunction seems to occur when electrical load is excessive. When the malfunction seems to occur on a rainy day or in a
high
−humidity condition.
Heat the component that is the likely cause of the malfunction
with a hair dryer or similar object. Check to see if the
malfunction
occurs.
Sprinkle water onto the vehicle and check to see if the malfunc-
tion occurs.
Turn on all electrical loads including the heater blower, head
lights, rear window defogger, etc. and check to see if the mal-
function occurs. ON
HINT:
If a vehicle is subject to water leakage, the leaked water may
contaminate
the ECU. When testing a vehicle with a water leak-
age problem, special caution must be taken.
Malfunc-
tion
Do not heat to more than 60 °C (140° F). (Temperature
is limited not to damage the components.)
Do not apply heat directly to parts in the ECU.
(1)
(2)
Never sprinkle water directly into the engine compart-
ment, but indirectly change the temperature and hu-
midity by applying water spray onto the radiator front
surface.
Never apply water directly onto the electronic compo-
nents.

This is a method in which the trouble is located by using a man-
ifold gauge set. Read the manifold gauge pressure when the
these conditions are established:
Test conditions:
Temperature at the air inlet with the switch set at RECIRC
is 30 − 35° C (86 − 95° F)
Engine running at 1,500 rpm
Blower speed control switch set at high
Temperature control set at max. cool
HINT:
It should be noted that the gauge indications may vary slightly
due to ambient temperature conditions.
(1) Normally functioning refrigeration system.
Gauge reading:
Low pressure side:
0.15 − 0.25 MPa (1.5 − 2.5 kgf/cm
2)
High pressure side:

1. CHECK PEDAL HEIGHT
Pedal height from dash panel:
167.5 − 177.5 mm (6.594 − 6.988 in.)
2. IF NECESSARY, ADJUST PEDAL HEIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connector from the stop light switch.
(b) Loosen the stop light switch lock nut and remove the stop
light switch.
(c) Loosen the push rod lock nut.
(d) Adjust the pedal height by turning the pedal push rod.
(e) Tighten the push rod lock nut. Torque: 25 N·m (260 kgf·cm, 19 ft·lbf)
(f) Install the stop light switch and turn it until it lightly con-
tacts the pedal stopper.
(g) Turn the stop light switch back one turn.
(h) Check the clearance (A) between the stop light switch and pedal.
Clearance: 0.5 − 2.4 mm (0.020 − 0.094 in.)
(i) Tighten the stop light switch lock nut.
(j) Connect the connector to the stop light switch.
(k) Check that the stop lights come on when the brake pedal
is depressed, and go off when the brake pedal is re-
leased.
(l) earance (A) between the stop light switch and the pedal
stopper has been adjusted correctly, the pedal freeplay
will meet the specifications.
3. CHECK PEDAL FREEPLAY
(a) Stop the engine and depress the brake pedal several times until there is no more vacuum left in the booster.
(b) Push in the pedal by hand until the beginning of the se- cond resistance is felt. Measure the distance.
Pedal freeplay: 3 − 6 mm (0.12 − 0.24 in.)
HINT:
The freeplay to the 1st resistance is due to the play between the
clevis and pin. This is magnified up to 3 − 6 mm (0.12 − 0.24 in.)

OPERATION
1. OPERATING CHECK
(a) Depress the brake pedal several times with the engine off
and check that there is no change in the pedal reserve
distance.
(b) Depress the brake pedal and start the engine. If the pedal
goes down slightly, operation is normal.
2. AIR TIGHTNESS CHECK
(a) Start the engine and stop it after 1 or 2 minutes. Depress the brake pedal several times slowly. If the pedal goes
down furthest the 1st time, but gradually rises after the
2nd or 3rd time, the booster is air tight.
(b) Depress the brake pedal while the engine is running, and
stop the engine with the pedal depressed. If there is no
change in the pedal reserve travel after holding the pedal
for 30 seconds, the booster is air tight.
