Stoplamp Switch Adjustment

Figures 1 through 5 may be helpful in performing this procedure.

1. Depress brake pedal (push forward) as far as possible and hold.








2. Using a stiff wire with a hooked end (See Figures 1, 4 and 5), gently pull the switch set lever forward (toward front of vehicle), and listen for an audible click indicating release of the automatic adjustor.

NOTICE:
If no click is heard, release the brake pedal and repeat the above procedure.

3. After the release of the automatic adjuster, slowly pull the brake pedal all the way rearward. Listen for the switch to ratchet into the set position (setting the stoplamp switch). At least three (3) clicks of the ratchet must be heard.





4. Inspect the operation of the stoplamps. Stoplamps should operate at a maximum brake pedal travel of 25 mm (i in.) and throughout the remainder of the pedal travel. If the stoplamps do not operate properly, repeat the switch adjustment procedure one more time. If the switch still fails to operate properly, refer to the "STOPLAMP SWITCH ADJUSTMENT CHECK" chart.

If stoplamps do operate properly, return to the "STOPLAMP SWITCH REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION" procedure above and continue with Step 17.
