Optimized Hydraulic Braking
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When the vacuum sensor in the brake booster indicates severely low vacuum, a DTC is set in the ABS module. The brake vacuum pump activates at 57.56 kPa (17 in-Hg) and shuts off at 71.11 kPa (21 in-Hg) of vacuum. If the brake pedal is applied with severely low vacuum in the booster, the ABS module activates the pump motor in the HCU to assist with braking at vehicle speeds above 2 km/h (1 mph).
