On-Vehicle Inspection

  1. INSPECT BRAKE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY 
    1. Airtightness check
      1. Start the engine and stop it after 1 or 2 minutes. Slowly depress the brake pedal several times.

        If the pedal can be depressed to the floor the first time, but cannot be depressed as far the second and third time, the booster is airtight.
