Power Brake Booster Function Test (Vacuum, Hydro-Boost & Hydro-Max): Accumulator

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 14 other vehicles, including the 2004 Ford RV Cutaway, 2004 Ford Econoline, 2004 Ford E450 Super Duty, 2004 Ford Cutaway, and 2003 Ford RV Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Start and run the engine.
  2. Stop the engine.
  3. Apply the brakes. The accumulator in the Hydro-Boost power brake booster should retain enough pressure for at least two power-assisted brake operations. If no power assist is felt, install a new Hydro-Boost power brake booster and retest the system.
