Vacuum System, Checking: Procedure

-- Check all vacuum lines in the entire vacuum system for:

• Cracks
• Damage caused by animals
• Pinching
• Porous locations and other leaks

-- Check the vacuum line leading both to and from the solenoid valve to the respective component.

-- If there is a DTC memory entry, check the vacuum lines for the named component, but also all the vacuum lines to the other components.

-- If using the :VAS6213  does not produce any vacuum or if the vacuum drops again right away, then check the hand vacuum pump and the connection hoses for leaks.
