Brake Booster: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Lincoln LS and 2002 Ford Thunderbird. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The power brake booster is a vacuum-operated, dual diaphragm type and is equipped with a separately serviceable power brake booster check valve. The power brake booster is a dual diaphragm, vacuum assisted power brake booster. The power brake booster reduces brake pedal pressure and travel distance. The power brake booster is located on the bulkhead in the engine compartment, between the brake pedal and brake master cylinder. Booster is divided into separate chambers by the diaphragm. Booster will not operate if vacuum is restricted or if any of the vacuum related power brake components fail. Booster is installed as an assembly. If the power assist fails, the brake system will continue to operate with increased brake pedal effort.
