13 Brake Booster

On gasoline engines, vacuum is supplied from intake manifold.

Some vehicles with a gasoline engine and automatic transmission are equipped with a vacuum pump for brakes.

On vehicles with a hydraulic brake booster, a vacuum sensor is installed. Refer to => [ Brake Booster Vacuum Sensor (G483) ] Brake Booster Vacuum Sensor (G483)

Functional check:

- With engine switched off, depress brake pedal firmly several times (to deplete vacuum in tool).

- Depress and hold brake pedal with average foot pressure and start engine. If brake booster is working properly, pedal will be felt to give noticeably under foot (booster assistance becomes effective).

Replace as a unit in the event of malfunction (previously, check all vacuum lines).
