PARKING BRAKES

(4) Check to be sure that the clearance between the
stopper and the parking brake lever at the caliper side is
as shown in the figure.
NOTE
If the clearance between the parking brake lever and
the stopper exceeds 2 mm
in.), the probable
causes are brake cable sticking, improper wiring, or a
malfunction of the automatic adjuster (within the rear
brake caliper), so it is necessary to check the parking
brake cable and to disassemble and check the rear
brake caliper.
(5) Turn the adjusting nut to adjust the parking brake lever
stroke to within the standard value range.
Caution
If the number of brake lever notches engaged is less
than the standard value, the cable has been pulled
excessively, and failure of the automatic adjuster
mechanism will result. Be sure to adjust it to within
the standard value.
(6) After making the adjustment, check to be sure that
there is no play between the adjusting nut and the pin.
Also check to be sure that the adjusting nut is securely
held at the nut holder.
(7) After adjusting the lever stroke, jack up the rear of the
vehicle.
(8) With the parking brake lever in the released position,
turn the rear wheel to confirm that the rear brakes are
not dragging.
PARKING BRAKE SWITCH CHECK
(1) Disconnect the connector of the parking brake switch, and
connect an ohmmeter to the parking brake switch and the
switch installation bolt.
(2) The parking brake switch is good if there is continuity when
the parking brake lever is pulled and there is no continuity
when it is returned.
