POWER BRAKE UNIT
FUNCTION CHECK
Simple Method
First step
1. With the engine stopped, depress the pedal a few
times.
2. With the pedal depressed, start the engine
3. If immediately after the engine starts the pedal
moves down slightly, the unit is operating.
Second step
1. Start the engine.
2. Stop the engine after it has run for
1
or 2 minutes.
3. Depress the pedal with the usual force.
4.
If
the first pedal stroke is long and becomes short-
er with subsequent strokes, the unit is operating.
5. If a problem is found, inspect for damage of the
check valve or vacuum hose, and examine the in-
stallation condition. Repair if necessary, and inspect
it once again.
Third step
1. Start the engine.
2. Depress the pedal with the usual force.
3. Stop the engine with the pedal still depressed.
4. Hold the pedal down for about 30 seconds.
5. If the pedal height does not change, the unit is
operating.
6. If there is a problem, check for damage to the
check valve or vacuum hose, and check the con-
nection. Repair if necessary, and check once
again.
If the nature of the problem is still not clear after fol-
lowing the 3 steps above, follow the more detailed
check described in "Method using tester".
Method Using Tester
Connect a pressure gauge, vacuum gauge, and ped-
al depression force gauge as shown in the figure. Af-
ter bleeding the air from the pressure gauge, conduct
the test as described in the 3 steps below.
Note
Use commercially available gauges and ped-
al depression force gauge.
