Stop Light Switch: Adjustment

  1. While pulling up the brake pedal (c) toward you, insert the stop light switch (a) until it reaches the stopper (b).
  2. Install the stop light switch by turning it clockwise.
    CAUTION:
    • Turn the stop light switch clockwise when installing so that it can return backward by approximately 1 mm (0.04 in) and clearance is automatically adjusted.
    • When pushing the stop light switch against the brake pedal, do not apply excessive force.
    • Tighten the stop light switch with a turning torque of 3.0 N.m (0.3 kgf-m, 2.2 ft-lb) or less. (If it is hard to turn, reduce the switch pushing force and turn it again.)
    • Insert until it contacts the stopper, and make sure that clearance (A) of the end of stop light switch and the stopper is 1 mm - 2 mm (0.04 in - 0.08 in).
