DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
To boost the vacuum for the brake servo, a vacuum pump has been introduced on certain models.

When engine vacuum is insufficient, pressure switch 458 closes and grounds the coil in relay 460. The relay operates and motor 459 is supplied with current (+30 circuit) via fuse 13.

The vacuum pump runs until the right vacuum level is attained. The pressure switch then opens and the pump stops.

The relay coil is supplied with current (+54 circuit) via fuse 9.

FAULT DIAGNOSIS HINTS
1. Check that fuses 13 and 9 are intact and supplied with current.
2. Check that distribution terminal 231 is supplied with current.
3. Check the performance of the pressure switch.
4. Check the wiring harness, connectors and ground connections.
