The function of the power brake booster check valve is to allow manifold vacuum to enter the power
brake booster and prevent the escape of vacuum in case manifold vacuum is lost during sustained full
throttle operation.
To test the function of the power brake booster check valve :
zStart and run the engine for at least 10 seconds.
z Operate the brake pedal to check for power assist.
z Disconnect the vacuum booster hose from the power brake booster check valve. Do not remove
the power brake booster check valve from the power brake booster.
z There should be enough vacuum retained in the brake booster for at least one more power-
assisted brake operation.
Brake Master Cylinder — Normal Conditions
The following conditions are considered normal and are not indications that the brake master cylinder
is in need of service.
Condition 1: During normal operation of the brake master cylinder, the fluid level in the brake master
cylinder reservoir will rise during brake application and fall during release. The net fluid level (i.e., after
brake application and release) will remain unchanged.
Condition 2: A trace of brake fluid will exist on the booster shell below the master cylinder mounting
flange. This results from the normal lubricating action of the master cylinder bore and seal.
Condition 3: Fluid level will decrease with pad wear.
Brake Master Cylinder — Abnormal Conditions
Changes in brake pedal feel or travel are indicators that something could be wrong in the brake
system. GO to Symptom Chart for abnormal condition diagnosis.
Bypass Condition Test 1. Disconnect the brake lines at the brake master cylinder.
2. Plug the outlet ports of the brake master cylinder.
3. Apply the brakes. If brake pedal height cannot be maintained, the brake master cylinder has an internal leak and must be rebuilt or replaced.
Compensator Port Check
The purpose of the compensator ports in the brake master cylinder is to supply any additional brake
fluid required by the system due to brake pad wear and to allow brake fluid returning from the brake
lines to the brake master cylinder to enter the brake master cylinder reservoir.
The returning brake fluid will cause a slight turbulence in the brake master cylinder reservoir. Klj . 14 ba

NOTE:
Use new brake fluid when assembling and bleeding the brake system.
NOTE: Lightly lubricate the parking brake lever bore, limiting bolt, parking brake lever shaft and
parking brake shaft recess with Silicone Dielectric Compound D7AZ-19A331- A or equivalent
meeting Ford specification ESE- M1C171-A.
Follow the disassembly procedure in reverse order. Klj . 4 ba
