BRAKE BOOSTER OPERATION TEST WITHOUT

A TESTER
For a simple check of the brake booster operation, make the
following tests.
1. Run the engine for one or two minutes, then stop it. Depress
the brake pedal several times using normal foot pressure. If
the pedal goes down further the first time, but gradually rises
after the second or third time, the brake booster is
functioning properly. Go to step 2.
2. With the engine stopped, depress the brake pedal several
times.
Depress the brake pedal and start the engine.
If the pedal goes down slightly, the booster is in good
condition. Go to step 3.
3. With the engine running, depress the brake pedal and then
stop the engine.
Hold the pedal depressed for 30 seconds. If the pedal height
does not change, the booster is in good condition.

If one of the above three tests is not okay, check the vacuum
hoses, the check valve and the brake booster. Make any
necessary corrections. If all the tests are OK, unit is good.

BLEEDING OF BRAKE SYSTEM

1. Remove the reservoir cap and fill the brake fluid reservoir.

CAUTION
Do not allow brake fluid to remain on a painted surface.
Wash it off immediately.

NOTE
When pressure bleeding the system, do not depress the
brake pedal.

2. Connect a vinyl tube to the wheel cylinder bleeder screw and

insert the other end of tube in a half full container of brake
fluid.
3. Slowly pump the brake pedal several times.
4. While depressing the brake pedal fully, loosen the bleeder
screw until fluid starts to run out. Then close the bleeder
screw.

58-8
 GENERAL

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until there are no more bubbles in the

fluid.
4. Tighten the bleeder plug screw.

7. Repeat the above procedure for each wheel in the sequence

shown in the illustration.

PARKING BRAKE STROKE ADJUSTMENT

1. Pull the brake lever with a force of approximately 196 N (20
kg, 44 Ibs.), and count the number of clicks.

Parking brake lever stroke [Standard value]. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

6-7 clicks

2. If the number of notches is not within the standard value,

adjust the cable length with the adjusting nut of the
equalizer.

3. The indicator light will go out when the brake lever is fully
released, and will light with the lever is pulled up one notch.
If it does not operate, check the bulb and/or switch.
4. After the adjustment, check that the rear brakes do not drag
with the parking brake lever released.
