vacuum system is operating, the pedal

will tend to fall away under foot pres-

sure and less pressure will be required

to hold the pedal in the applied posi-

tion. If no action is felt, the vacuum

booster system is not functioning.

If the brake pedal movement feels

spongy, bleed the hydraulic system to

remove air from the system. Refer to

Hydraulic System Bleeding, Part 1,

Section 2.

VACUUM TESTS—VACUUM

RELEASE PARKING BRAKES

Visually check the operation of the

brake linkage as the brake pedal is

depressed. Then, check the operation

of the brake linkage when the manual

release lever is activiated. These

checks should indicate whether the

manual parking brake control linkage

is operating properly or requires re-

pair or adjustment due to inability of

the parking brake to hold against

moderate vehicle movement. Perform

tests of the parking brake system and

controls after making certain the link-

age and manual controls operate

properly.

When testing a parking brake vacu-

um release system, a minimum of 10

inches of vacuum (Hg.) should be

available at all points where vacuum is

applied. This can be checked with a

Rotunda Fuel Pump Tester Gauge

(ARE345) and two Distributor Tester

hose adapters (Marked Q) connected

together with a coupling. This allows

the Fuel Pump Tester Gauge hose to
be adapted to any other vacuum hose

or rubber connector in the vacuum

systems.

Failure to maintain 10 inches of

vacuum (Hg.) during vacuum system

tests could be caused by a loose hose

connection, resulting in a vacuum

leak. When checking for vacuum be-

tween two points, trace the hose along

the entire routing to be sure it is not

crossed with another hose and con-

nected to the wrong connection.

All of the vacuum parking brake

control checks are to be performed

with the engine running at idle speed.

Leaks in the parking brake hoses or

a disconnected or improperly con-

nected hose can usually be found by

listening for a hissing sound along the

hose routings. Under no circumstances

should air pressure be applied to the

vacuum system as the actuator dia-

phragm in the parking brake vacuum

motor may be damaged.

1.
Start the engine and run it at

idle speed. With the transmission shift

control in neutral, depress the parking

brake pedal to apply the parking

brake. Move the transmission shift

control to D range and observe the

parking brake pedal to see that the

pedal moves upward and the parking

brake releases. If the parking brake

releases, the parking brake vacuum

control is working properly.

2.
If the parking brake does not re-

lease, test for vacuum at the steering

column neutral switch port in the

junction block, vacuum lines and the

parking brake release vacuum motor.

Use the Rotunda Vacuum and Fuel
Pump Tester 345. This can be accom-

plished by removing the hose from

each component and attaching it to

the vacuum gauge. Connect two dis-

tributor tester vacuum hose adapters

together with a coupling as a connec-

tor to attach the gauge. A minimum

of ten inches of vacuum is required to

actuate the parking brake vacuum

motor. Do not remove any of the vac-

uum hoses from the junction block

unless the junction block is being re-

placed, as the plastic nipples are thin

and very brittle and damage may re-

sult. If a minimum reading is not

present when checking each of the

aforementioned components, they

must be replaced.

ROAD TEST

A road test should be conducted

only when the operator is sure the

brakes will stop the vehicle.

If the road test reveals one or more

problem conditions, correct all mal-

functions of the vacuum system, brake

booster and hydraulic system prior to

removing brake drums, brake calipers,

brake shoes and linings or backing

plates.

ANTI-SKID CONTROL

SYSTEM TESTS

No adjustments or repairs are to be

performed on the skid control system.

Damaged or worn parts are to be re-

placed.

Refer to Ford Car and Truck Diag-

nosis Manual for Testing procedures.

AND COUGAR

Check the parking brake cables

when the brakes are fully released. If1

the cables are loose, adjust them as

follows:

1.
Fully release the parking brake

pedal by pulling the release lever.

2.
Depress the parking brake pedal

until it is engaged in the first notch of

the control. On a vacuum release

brake, the first notch will be approxi-

mately two inches of pedal travel.

3.
Raise the vehicle. With the

transmission in neutral, turn the ad-

justing nut forward against the equal-

izer (Figs. 3 and 4) until there is 100
