Remove the quick-release connector on the vacuum pump. Install: see 9997108 between the quick-release connector and the pump.

Connect: see 9995230 on: see 9997108 .

Install the connector for the pump. Read off the value on: see 9995230 .

The value must be 60 kPa  negative pressure when the pump stops.

Press down the brake pedal a couple of times to start the pump. The value when the pump starts must be 45 kPa negative pressure.

If the pump starts at a negative pressure of 0 - 45 kPa  or stops at a negative pressure higher than 60 kPa  , replace the control valve. See: BRAKE BOOSTER VACUUM HOSE

If the correct system pressure is not obtained even though the pump capacity is correct, this indicates that there is a leak in the system.
