HYDRAULIC BRAKES 4A–5
DAEWOO M-150 BL2
WARNING LAMP OPERATION
This brake system uses a BRAKE warning lamp located
in the instrument panel cluster. When the ignition switch
is in the III position, the BRAKE warning lamp should
glow and then go OFF when the ignition switch returns
to the II position.The following conditions will activate the BRAKE lamp:
Parking brake applied. The light should be on when-
ever the parking brake is applied and the ignition
switch is II.
Low fluid level. A low fluid level in the master cylinder
will turn the BRAKE lamp ON.

4C – 2 POWER BOOSTER
DAEWOO M-150 BL2
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
POWER BOOSTER
This booster is a single diaphragm, vacuum-suspended
unit. In a normal operating mode, with the service brakes
in the release position, a vacuum-suspended booster
operates with a vacuum on both sides of its diaphragm.
When the brakes are applied, air at atmospheric pres-
sure is admitted to one side of the diaphragm to pro-vide the power assist. When the brakes are released, at-
mospheric air is shut off from that side of the diaphragm.
The air is then drawn from the booster through the vacu-
um check valve by the vacuum source.
Important: If any hydraulic component is removed or
disconnected, it may be necessary to bleed all or part of
the brake system.

POWER BOOSTER 4C–3
DAEWOO M-150 BL2
DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION AND PROCEDURES
POWER BOOSTER FUNCTIONAL
CHECK
1. With the engine stopped, eliminate the vacuum in the
booster by pumping the brake pedal several times.
2. Push the pedal down and hold it in this position.
3. Start the engine.
4. The booster is OK if the pedal drops further because
of extra force produced.
If the brake pedal does not drop, the vacuum system
(vacuum hoses, check valve, etc.) is probably defective
and should be checked.
If no defect is revealed by checking the vacuum system,
the defect is in the booster itself.
CHECK VALVE FUNCTIONAL CHECK
1. Remove the vacuum hose.
2. Suck the vacuum hose to power booster. And also,
suck the vacuum hose to engine.
3. If the air pass through the check valve or not, replace
the check valve. And if the vacuum hose to engine isonly sucked, the check valve OK.

4D – 2 FRONT DISC BRAKES
DAEWOO M-150 BL2
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
DISC BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY
This caliper has a single bore and is mounted to the
steering knuckle with two mounting bolts. Hydraulic
pressure, created by applying the brake pedal, is con-
verted by the caliper to a stopping force. This force acts
equally against the piston and the bottom of the caliper
bore to move the piston outward and to slide the caliper
inward, resulting in a clamping action on the rotor. This
clamping action forces the linings against the rotor,
creating friction to stop the vehicle.
D17B001A
Important:
Replace all components included in the repair kits
used to service this caliper.
Lubricate the rubber parts with clean brake fluid to
ease assembly.
Do not use lubricated shop air on brake parts, as
damage to the rubber components may result.
If any hydraulic component is removed or discon-
nected, it may be necessary to bleed all or part of the
brake system.
Replace the pads in axle sets only.
The torque values specified are for dry, unlubricated
fasteners.
Perform the service operations on a clean bench, free
from all mineral oil materials.
CLEARANCE CALIBRATION
When the hydraulic pressure is applied to the piston, the
piston moves leftward. The piston seal, which extent
considerable pressure against the piston, moves with
cylinder.
However, as a part of the piston seal is fixed into a grove
in the cylinder shape of the seal is as shown in below
figure, distorted toward the piston moving direction.
When the pressure is taken off from the brake pedal and
the hydraulic pressure is released from the piston, a re-
storing elastic force is generated at the seal and pushes
the piston rightward and back it in original position.
As the pads wear away and the clearance between rotor
and pads becomes larger, the piston moves larger.
The seal then could change in shape further, but since
end of the seal is fixed into the groove in the cylinder, the
distortion is limited to the same amount as previously
described.
The piston moves further to cover the distance of clear-
ance. As the piston returns by the same distance and
the rubber seal recovers its original shape, the clear-
ance between the rotor and pads is maintained in origi-
nal condition.

LINING INSPECTION
1. Raise and suitably support the vehicle.
2. Remove the front wheels. Refer to Section 2E, Tires
and Wheels.
3. Visually check the linings for minimum thickness and
wear.
4. Measure the thickness.
Important: The minimum thickness of the shoe and lin-
ing together is 8 mm (0.31 in.).
D107B301
5. Install the shoe and linings in axle sets only.
6. Install the front wheels. Refer to Section 2E, Tires
and Wheels.
7. Lower the vehicle.
ROTOR INSPECTION
Thickness variation can be checked by measuring the
thickness of the rotor at four or more points around the
circumference of the rotor. All measurements must be
made at the same distance in from the edge of the rotor.
If the thickness of the rotor is below 10 mm (0.40 in.),
replace the brake rotor.
During manufacturing, the brake rotor and the toler-
ances of the braking surface regarding flatness and lat-
eral runout are held very close. The maintenance of
close tolerances on the shape of the braking surfaces is
necessary to prevent brake roughness.
D107B302
In addition to these tolerances, the surface finish must
be held to a specified range. The control of the braking
surface finish is necessary to avoid pulls and erratic per-
formance and to extend lining life.
Using a commercially-available dial indicator, check lat-
eral runout as follows:
Notice: Permissible lateral runout is a maximum 0.05 mm
(0.002 in.). If lateral runout exceeds the specification,
ensure there is no dirt between the rotor and the hub and
that contact surfaces are smooth and free from burrs.
1. Position the transaxle in NEUTRAL.
2. Remove the rotor. Refer to “Rotor” in this section.
3. Fasten a dial indicator to the strut.
4. Set the gauge probe tip to approximately 10 mm
(0.4 in.) from the outer edge of the brake rotor, per-
pendicular to the disc and under slight preload.
5. Remove the dial indicator.
Important: Since accurate control of the rotor toler-
ances is necessary for proper performance of the disc
brakes, refinishing of the rotor should be done only with
precision equipment.
6. Refinish the rotor, if required, with precision equip-
ment. Discard the rotor if it fails to meet the above
specifications after refinishing.
7. Install the rotor. Refer to “Rotor” in this section.
