(1) Shut down the motor, and step on the brake pedal repeatedly
till the booster is not vacuum.
(2) Step down the pedal till resistance appears, and measure the
distance as shown in the figure.
Pedal free travel: 1-6mm
If the clearance does not meet the requirement, check the
clearance of the brake light switch. If the clearance is correct,
make diagnosis on the braking system.
Clearance: 0.5-2.4mm
3. Check the pedal reserved distance.
Loosen the parking brake extension rod.
When the motor is running, step down the pedal, and measure the
pedal reserved distance as shown in the figure.
When stepping on the pedal 490N, the reserved distance from the
asphalt floor is larger than 55mm
If the distance doesn't meet the requirement, make diagnosis on
the braking system.Brake System -Brake Pedal4-83Braking lamp switch

Tips:
If there is clearance between the special tool body and the booster hull, it means that the clearance is
standard value. If there is no chalk trace on the booster push bar, it means that the clearance exceeds the
standard value.

Check1. Check the brake booster.
(1) Air tightness check
a. Start the motor, and shut it down after one or two minutes,
then step on the pedal several times slowly.
Tips:
If the pedal goes down greatly at the first step, but it gradually
goes up after the second and third steps, it means the air
tightness is good.Brake System -Vacuum Booster4-92 b. When the motor is running, step down the brake pedal, and then shut down the motor.
Tips:
If the reserved distance does not change thirty seconds after
the pedal is stepped down, it means the air tightness is good.
(2) Operation check
a. When the ignition switch stays in OFF position, step on the
pedal several times, and then check that the reserved
distance should not change.
b. Step down the pedal, and start the motor.
Tips:
If the pedal goes down a little, it means the operation is ok.
2. Check the vacuum one-way valve.
(1) Check the vacuum one-way valve.
a. Slide the clip to unfix the vacuum tube.
b. Remove the vacuum one-way valve.
