C: RECOMMENDED BRAKE FLUID
FMVSS No. 116, fresh DOT3 or 4 brake fluid
CAUTION:

Avoid mixing brake fluid of different brands to pre-
vent the fluid performance from degrading.

When brake fluid is supplemented, be careful not to
allow any dust into the reservoir.

Use fresh DOT3 or 4 brake fluid when replacing or
refilling the fluid.

2. AIR TIGHTNESS CHECK
Start engine, and run it for 1 to 2 minutes, then turn it off.
Depress brake pedal several times applying the same
pedal force as that used in ordinary braking operations.
The pedal stroke should be greatest on the 1st depression,
and it should become smaller with each successive
depression. If no change occurs in the pedal height while
in a depressed state, brake booster is faulty.
NOTE:

In the event of defective operation, inspect the condition
of the check valve and vacuum hose.

Replace them if faulty and conduct the test again.

If no improvement is observed, check precisely with
gauges.
G4M0914
3. OPERATION CHECK
1) With engine off, depress brake pedal several times
applying the same pedal force and make sure that the
pedal height does not vary with each depression of the
pedal.
2) With brake pedal depressed, start engine.
3) As engine starts, brake pedal should move slightly
toward the floor. If no change occurs in the pedal height,
brake booster is faulty.
NOTE:
If faulty, check precisely with gauges.
4. LOADED AIR TIGHTNESS CHECK
Depress brake pedal while engine is running, and turn off
engine while the pedal is still depressed. Keep the pedal
depressed for 30 seconds; if no change occurs in the pedal
height, brake booster is functioning normally; if the pedal
height increases, it is faulty.
NOTE:
If faulty, check precisely with gauges.

5. CHECKING WITH GAUGES
Connect gauges as shown in Figure. After bleeding air from
pressure gauges, proceed to each check.
G4M0746
6. AIR TIGHTNESS CHECK
1) Start engine and keep it running until a vacuum of 66.7
kPa (500 mmHg, 19.69 inHg) = point A is indicated on
vacuum gauge. Do not depress brake pedal.
2) Stop engine and watch the gauge. If the vacuum drop
range is less than 3.3 kPa (25 mmHg, 0.98 inHg) within 15
seconds after stopping engine, brake booster is functioning
properly.
If defective, the cause may be one of those listed below.

Check valve malfunction

Leak from vacuum hose

Leak from the shell jointed portion or stud bolt welded
portion

Damaged diaphragm

Leak from valve body seal and bearing portion

Leak from plate and seal assembly portion

Leak from poppet valve assembly portion
G4M0747
7. LOADED AIR TIGHTNESS CHECK
1) Start engine and depress brake pedal with pedal force
of 196 N (20 kg, 44 lb). Keep engine running until a vacuum
of 66.7 kPa (500 mmHg, 19.69 inHg) = point B is indicated
on vacuum gauge while the pedal is still depressed.
2) Stop engine and watch vacuum gauge.
If the vacuum drop range is less than 3.3 kPa (25 mmHg,
0.98 inHg) within 15 seconds after stopping engine, brake
booster is functioning properly.
If defective, refer to“AIR TIGHTNESS CHECK”described
above.
