come on. 1) Check the free play of brake pedal with a
force of less than 10 N (1 kg, 2 lb).
Brake pedal free play:
1 -- 3 mm (0.04 -- 0.12 in)
2) If the free play is out of specifications above,
adjust the brake pedal as follows:
(1) Be sure engine is off. (No vacuum is ap-
plied to brake booster.)
(2) There should be play between brake
booster clevis and pin at brake pedal instal-
ling portion.
G1H0009 [Depress brake pedal pad with a force of

measure the distance between the brake pedal
and steering wheel. With the brake pedal re-
leased, measure the distance between the
pedal and steering wheel again. The difference
between the two measurements must be less
than 95 mm (3.74 in). If the distance is more
than specified, there is a possibility air is in the
inside of the hydraulic unit.
