Check air tightness

  1. Start engine.
  2. Stop engine after running for 1 to 2 minutes.
  3. Depress brake pedal several times with the same load as in ordinary braking and observe pedal travel. If pedal goes down deep the first time but its travel decreases as it is depressed the second and more times, air tightness is obtained.

  4. If pedal travel doesn't change, air tightness isn't obtained.
NOTE: If defective, inspect vacuum lines and sealing parts, and replace any faulty part. When this has been done, repeat the entire test.
