PARKING BRAKE PEDAL STROKE CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT




1.Depress the parking brake pedal by approximately 200 N.

2.If the parking brake pedal stroke is not within the standard value, adjust as described below.
(1) Raise the rear of the vehicle, and remove the right and left rear wheels.
(2) Loosen the adjuster to the end of the cable rod in order to allow slack in the cables.
(3) Remove the rear brake adjusting hole plug. Then insert a flat-tipped screwdriver to turn the adjuster to the arrow direction (to expand the shoe) until the parking brake shoe makes contact and the disc can no longer be turned. Back off the adjuster to the opposite direction by five notches.

caution Be careful that the parking brake pedal stroke should be within the standard value. If the stroke is too short, brake dragging can be caused.
Adjust the parking brake pedal stroke to the standard value by turning the adjuster. After the adjustment, ensure that there is no free play between the adjuster and the parking brake pedal. In addition, check that the adjuster is secured by the adjuster holder.
(5) After the parking brake pedal stroke is adjusted, release the parking brake. Then turn the rear wheels to confirm that the rear brakes are not dragging.
(6) Install the right and left rear wheels.
