Brake Master Cylinder - Bypass Condition Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Lincoln LS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Disconnect the brake lines at the brake master cylinder.
  2. Plug the outlet ports of the brake master cylinder.
  3. Apply the brakes. If brake pedal height cannot be maintained, the brake master cylinder has an internal leak and must be rebuilt or a new master cylinder must be installed.
