Circuit/System Description

The brake booster vacuum sensor measures the vacuum in the brake booster assembly. The electronic brake control module supplies a 5 V reference and a low reference circuit to the brake booster vacuum sensor. The vacuum sensor supplies a voltage signal in relation to the pressure in the brake booster to the electronic brake control module. When the vacuum within the system becomes weak, the electronic brake control module turns ON the brake booster pump motor by providing battery voltage to the brake booster pump motor relay. The relay activates and supplies ground to the brake booster pump motor.
