Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
The vacuum pump is mechanically driven by the camshaft. The ABS module uses a sensor mounted on the brake booster to monitor the vacuum. A vacuum pump failure or a leak in the vacuum hoses, check valve, seals, brake booster or front hublock IWE can all cause insufficient vacuum for brake booster operation.
