Idle Stop Switch Adjustment

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Honda Insight and 2010 Honda Insight. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

When either the brake pedal position switch or the idle stop switch needs adjusting, both switches must be adjusted together to keep their functions synchronized. Always adjust the brake pedal position switch first, then adjust the idle stop switch; never adjust the switches independently.
When the brake pedal is released, the idle stop switch is normally closed.

Lightly screw the idle stop switch (A) until it contacts the pad on the brake pedal arm.

While pulling the pedal toward you, turn the switch clockwise until its thread end contacts the pedal stop bracket (B).
Rotate the switch 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn counterclockwise (clearance is 0.6-0.9 mm (0.02-0.04 in)), then tighten its lock nut (C), and connect its 2P connector.
Start the engine, and make sure it stops when you press the brake pedal.
