2009 Ford Explorer Brake Pedal Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the brake pedal assembly on 2009 Ford Explorer?

  A: Prior to servicing the brake pedal assembly begin by removing the stoplamp switch and speed control deactivator switch while the brake pedal rests in its natural position because it enables proper switch rotation yet failure to do this may damage the switches. The stoplamp switch removal should start the procedure followed by the speed control deactivator switch if it exists. Proceed with service only when you have set adjustable pedals to their maximum backward position. The booster push rod clevis locking pin functions only once and should be thrown away after removal by pressing its locking tabs then pulling it outward. To begin the procedure first disconnect the brake booster rod from the brake pedal while setting it aside and disconnect both the adjustable pedal motor and accelerator pedal motor electrical connectors when present. Remove the two brake pedal bracket bolts together with the four brake booster nuts and switch the brake master cylinder and brake booster assembly toward the front to expose the studs. Proceed by unfastening the three accelerator pedal bracket nuts followed by unthreading the two screws from the steering column opening cover panel. A steering wheel holding device must be used to prevent Clock Spring damage when you remove the steering column shaft bolt then disconnect the steering column shaft keeping the steering wheel straight ahead. Fit the new brake pedal assembly to its placement before setting the brake master cylinder and brake booster assembly into the brake pedal bracket. To complete the assembly installation secure it with four brake booster nuts which need proper tightening to 22 Nm (16 lb-ft) alongside two brake pedal bracket bolts that must reach 22 Nm (16 lb-ft). Here you must install three accelerator pedal bracket nuts using a torque of 7 Nm (62 lb-in). After that install the accelerator pedal electrical connector if equipped together with the adjustable pedal motor electrical connector and position the brake booster push rod to the brake pedal. Fasten the steering column shaft to the steering column while using a new booster push rod clevis locking pin before tightening the bolt to 30 Nm (22 lb-ft). Install the steering column opening cover together with its screws while the stoplamp switch and speed control deactivator switch need to be installed when the brake pedal is in its resting position to maintain proper adjustment.
