Brake ped

al effort is excessive. This ma
y be caused by a bind or obstruction in the pedal/linkage, a faulty non return
valve, booster or insuffi cient booster vacuum.
R
ear brakes lock up during light pedal force. This may
be caused by damaged brake pads, an incorrectly adjusted
parking brake, a partially applied parking brake, a damaged ABS sensor or bearing failure.
Brake ped
al effort erratic. This condition could be caused by the brake booste
r or incorrectly installed brake pads.
Brake warning indicator i
s on. This may be caused
by low fluid level or float assembly damaged.
No
n Pressure Leaks
Any reduced fluid v
olume in the brake ma
ster cylinder reservoir condition may be caused by two types of none pressure
external leaks.
Type 1: An external leak may be occur at the master cylinder reservoir cap because of incorre ct positioning of gasket and
cap. Reposition cap and gasket.
Type 2: An external leak may occur at th e reservoir mounting seals. Repair such a leak by installing new seals and make
sure that the reservoir retainin g bolt is correctly installed.
