Check Brake System For Leaks - Ar42.10-D-0100-01TS
| Risk of accident from vehicle starting off by itself when engine running. Risk of injury (bruises and burns) resulting from working on the engine while it is being started or when it is running. | Secure vehicle to prevent it from starting off by itself. Wear closed and snug-fitting work clothes. Do not touch hot or rotating parts. | AS00.00-Z-0005-01A | |
| Risk of poisoning from swallowing brake fluid. Risk of injury from skin and eye contact with brake fluid | Only pour brake fluid into suitable and appropriately marked containers. Wear protective clothing and eye protection when handling brake fluid. | AS42.50-Z-0001-01A | |

- Adjust gap.
After working on the brake system.
To do this, depress the brake pedal firmly several times.
- Depress brake pedal firmly and hold down with a constant force.
The pressure must be maintained without it being possible to depress the brake pedal further.
If the brake pedal drops under constant pressure.
↓
Establish the cause for pressure loss and replace defective components of the brake system.
- Start engine and run at idle speed.
- Depress brake pedal firmly and hold down with a constant force.
The high boost provided by the brake booster with the engine running causes the brake pedal to slowly yield further after a brief period.
This is design related and it does not mean that the brake system has a pressure loss.
- Check whether the pressure built up in the brake system drops.
If the brake pedal drops under constant pressure.
↓
Check all hydraulic hose connections, all connection fittings and all hydraulic components of the brake system for leaks.
In the event of leakage
↓
Repair or replace affected hose connections, connection fittings or hydraulic components.
If no leakage can be found.
↓
Establish the cause for internal pressure loss and replace defective components of the brake system.
- Switch off engine.
