Vacuum Brake Booster Check Valve: Testing and Inspection

Check Valve

1. Remove the vacuum booster hose from the power brake booster.
2. Apply 57.3 kPa (17 in-Hg) of vacuum to the vacuum booster hose. If the vacuum does not leak off after 10 minutes, the check valve is OK. Otherwise, install a new check valve.
