Brake Booster Vacuum Sensor: Testing and Inspection





Inspection

3. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature.
4. Monitor "BBVPS" parameter on GDS.

NOTE:
With a brake partial vacuum that is too low, the ISG function also starts without activity on the part of the driver.
Insufficient brake partial vacuum can lead to safety risks during braking manoeuvres, when rolling on an incline. To prevent this, the engine is started.
