Inspection Without Tester
- Start the engine.
- Stop the engine after running for 1-2 minutes.
- Depress the brake pedal several times and observe the pedal travel.
If the pedal travels far the first time, but the travel decreases during successive
depressions, air tightness is obtained.
- If pedal travel doesn't change, air tightness is not obtained.
Perform the following procedure.
4.1. | Inspect the vacuum lines and the sealing parts. |
4.2. | Replace any faulty parts. |
4.3. | Repeat the entire test. |
Inspect Brake Pedal Operation
- With the engine stopped, depress the brake pedal several times
and verify that the pedal travel doesn't change.
- Start the engine while depressing the brake pedal. If the pedal
travel increases a little, operation is satisfactory.
- No change in pedal travel indicates a malfunction.
Inspect Air Tightness Under Load
- With the engine running, depress the brake pedal.
- Stop the engine while holding the brake pedal depressed.
- Hold the brake pedal depressed for 30 seconds. If the pedal
height does not change, the condition is good.
- If the pedal rises, the condition is poor.
