DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
and repair the external leak. If the fluid level drops
and no external leak can be found, check for a
brake master cylinder bore end seal leak.
Brake System Check
Brake Pedal Reserve Check
Where a low brake pedal or the feel of a
bottomed-out condition exists, check for brake
pedal reserve.
1. Operate the engine at idle with the transaxle in
NEUTRAL.
2. Apply the brake pedal lightly three or four times.
3. Allow 15 seconds for vacuum to replenish the
brake booster.
N0TE:This increased resistance may feel like
something has bottomed out.
4. Apply the brake pedal until it stops moving
downward or an increased resistance to the
pedal travel occurs.
5. Hold the brake pedal in the applied position and
raise the engine speed to approximately 2000
rpm.
N0TE:The additional movement of the brake pedal
is the result of the increased engine intake manifold
vacuum which exerts more force on the brake
booster during engine rundown. This means that
additional stroke is available in the brake master
cylinder and the brake system is not bottoming out.
6. Release the accelerator pedal and observe that
the brake pedal moves downward as the engine
returns to idle speed.
Brake Booster Functional Test
lnspect all hoses and connections. All unused
vacuum connectors should be capped. Hoses and
their connections should be correctly secured and
in good condition with no holes and no collapsed 2.
With the transaxle in NEUTRAL, stop the engine
and apply the parking brake. Apply the brake
pedal several times to exhaust all vacuum in
the system.
3. With the engine turned off and all vacuum in the
system exhausted, apply the brake pedal and hold it down. Start the engine. If the vacuum
system is operating, the brake pedal will tend
to move downward under constant foot
pressure. If no motion is felt, the vacuum
booster system is not functioning.
4. Remove the vacuum hose from the brake
booster.
Intake manifold vacuum should be
available at the brake booster end of the hose
with the engine at idle speed and the transaxle
in NEUTRAL. Make sure that all unused vacuum
outlets are correctly capped, hose connectors
are correctly secured and vacuum hoses are in
good condition. When it is established that
manifold vacuum is available to the brake
booster, connector the vacuum hose to the
brake booster and repeat Step
3. If no
downward movement of the brake pedal is felt,
install a new brake booster. REFER to: (206-07
Power Brake Actuation)
Brake Booster
- LHD (Removal and lnstallation),
Brake Booster
- RHD (Removal and lnstallation).
5. Operate the engine a minimum of 10 seconds
at fast idle. Stop the engine and let the vehicle
stand for
10 minutes. Then, apply the brake
pedal with approximately 89
N (20 lb) force. The
pedal feel (brake application) should be the
same as that noted with the engine operating.
If the brake pedal feels hard (no power assist),
install a new vacuum check valve and then
repeat the test. If the brake pedal still feels hard,
install a new brake booster. REFER to: (206-07

Brake Booster Operation Check
Brake Master Cylinder
1. Check the hydraulic brake system for leaks or
low fluid. Usually,
the first and strongest indicator of anything
wrong with the braking system is a feeling through
the brake pedal. In diagnosing the condition of the
brake master cylinder, check pedal feel as

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
evidence of a brake concern. Check for the brake
warning indicator illumination and the fluid level in
the master cylinder reservoir.
Normal Conditions
The following conditions are considered normal
and are not indications that the brake master
cylinder is in need of service.
- Modern brake systems are not designed to
produce as hard a pedal effort as in the past.
Complaints of light pedal efforts should be
compared to pedal efforts of another vehicle, of
the same model and year.
- During normal operation of the brake the fluid
level in the reservoir will rise during brake
application and fall during release. The net fluid
level
(i.e., after brake application and release)
will remain unchanged.
- A trace of brake fluid will exists on the brake
booster shell below the master cylinder
mounting flange. This results from the normal
lubricating action of the master cylinder bore
end seal.
- The fluid level will fall with brake shoe and lining
wear.
Abnormal Conditions
N0TE:Prior to performing any diagnosis, make
sure the brake system warning indicator is
functional.
Changes in brake pedal feel or travel are indicators
that something could be wrong with the braking system. The diagnostic procedure and techniques
use brake pedal feel, warning indicator illumination
and low brake fluid level as indicators in diagnosing
braking system concerns. The following conditions
are considered abnormal and indicate that the
brake master cylinder is in need of service.
- The brake pedal effort is excessive. This may
be caused by a bind or obstruction in the pedal
.
or linkage, clogged fluid control valve or ( ' insufficient booster vacuum.
- The rear brakes lock up during light pedal force.
This may be caused by incorrect tire pressures,
grease or fluid on the brake shoes and linings,
damaged brake shoes and linings, incorrectly
adjusted parking brake, or damaged or
contaminated brake pressure control valves.
- The brake pedal effort is erratic. This condition
could be caused by a brake booster malfunction,
extreme caliper piston knock back or incorrectly
installed brake shoes and linings.
- The brake warning indicator is ON. This may
be caused by low fluid level, ignition wire routing
too close to the fluid level indicator assembly,
or float assembly damage.
Bypass Condition Test
1. Check the fluid in brake master cylinder. Fill the
brake master cylinder reservoir if low or empty.
2. Observe the fluid level in the brake master
cylinder reservoir. If after several brake
applications, the fluid level remains the same,
measure the wheel turning torque required to
rotate the wheels with the brakes applied as
follows:
Place the transaxle in NEUTRAL and raise and
support the vehicle. REFER to: (1 00-02 Jacking
and Lifting)
Jacking (Description and Operation),
Lifting (Description and Operation).
Apply the brakes with a minimum of 445 N (100
Ib) and hold for approximately 15 seconds. With
the brakes still applied, exert a torque on the front
wheels of 10.1 Nm (75
1b.R). If either wheel rotates,
install a new brake master cylinder. REFER to:
(206-06 Hydraulic Brake Actuation)
- The brake pedal goes down fast. This could be Brake Master Cylinder - RHD (Removal and
caused by an external or internal leak. Installation),
- The brake
pedal eases down slowly. This could Brake Master Cylinder - LHD
(Removal and
be caused by an external or internal leak. Installation).
- The
brake pedal is low and or feels spongy. This
condition may be caused by no fluid in the brake
Non-Pressure Leaks master cylinder reservoir, reservoir cap vent
holes clogged or air in the hydraulic system.
Any empty brake master cylinder reservoir
condition may be caused by two types of
non-pressure external leaks.
