Air Tightness Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Suzuki Kizashi. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Start engine.
Stop engine after running it for 2 minutes.
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 time and after, air tightness is obtained.

If pedal travel does not change, air tightness is not obtained.
If defective, inspect vacuum lines and sealing parts, and replace the faulty part. After this, repeat the entire test.
