Raise and support vehicle. Fill master cylinder to maximum using only genuine Honda DOT 3 brake fluid. Have someone slowly pump brake pedal several times, then apply steady pressure. Loosen left-front brake bleed screw to allow air to escape from system, then tighten bleed screw securely. Repeat procedure for each wheel in sequence. Sequence is FL, FR, RR and RL. Fill master cylinder to maximum level line.

BRAKE PEDAL HEIGHT AND FREE PLAY
1. Disconnect brake pedal position switch connector. Loosen brake pedal position switch lock nut and back off switch until it no longer touches brake pedal. Lift up carpet and measure pedal height at insulator cutout, from middle of right side center (middle of left side center).
2. Loosen pushrod lock nut, and screw pushrod in or out with pliers until correct pedal height is obtained. Tighten lock nut firmly. Do not adjust the pedal height with pushrod pressed.
3. Screw in brake pedal position switch until its plunger is fully pressed (threaded end touching pad on pedal arm). Back off switch to make .01" (.3 mm) of clearance between threaded end and pad. Tighten lock nut firmly. Connect brake pedal position switch connector. Make sure brake lights go off when pedal is released. Check brake pedal free play: 7.04 inches (179 mm).

[b]When brake pedal is released, the brake pedal position switch is normally open and the idle stop switch is normally closed.[b]
