Brake Pedal Assembly

On-vehicle Inspection

1. Check brake pedal free play.

a. Stop engine. Depress brake pedal several times until no vacuum is left in vacuum booster, and then 

release brake pedal.

b. Depress brake pedal until resistance is felt.
c. As shown in the illustration, check the brake pedal 

free play by measuring distance between pedal 
position in above step and pedal position when it is 
released.



Standard brake pedal free play: 1 - 9 mm

2. Adjust brake pedal free play. 

a. As shown in the illustration, loosen the vacuum booster 

pushrod locking nut (arrow) and rotate the vacuum 
booster pushrod clockwise or counterclockwise to 
adjust the brake pedal free play to the specified value.

3. Check brake pedal height.

a. As shown in the illustration, turn over the carpet and 

measure distance between brake pedal center and 
dash panel, which is the brake pedal height.



Standard brake pedal height: 176 - 186 mm
