Pedal Free Play

1. With the engine off, inspect the play "A" on the pedal pad "B" by pushing the pedal by hand. See Fig. 6 .

Play "A" should be .04-.20" (1.0-5.0 mm).

2. If the play is out of specification, adjust the brake pedal position switch "C". If the pedal free play is

insufficient, it may result in brake drag.

3. Push in the brake pedal position switch until its plunger is fully pressed (threaded end "A" touching the

pad "B" on the pedal arm). See Fig. 7 . Turn the switch 45° clockwise to lock it. The gap between the
brake pedal position switch and the pad is automatically adjusted to .016-.118" (.4 to 3.0 mm) by locking
the switch. Ensure the brake lights go off when the pedal is released.
