REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Brake Booster —
Hydro-Boost
Removal WARNING: The power brake booster should not be carried by the accumulator, nor
should it ever be dropped on the accumulator. Check the snap ring on the accumulator for
correct seating before the power brake booster is used. The accumulator contains high-
pressure nitrogen gas and can be dangerous if mishandled.
WARNING: If the accumulator is to be disposed of, it must not be exposed to excessive
heat. Before discarding the accumulator, drill a 1.6- mm (1/16-inch) diameter hole in the end of
the accumulator can to relieve the gas pressure. Always wear safety glasses when performing
this operation.
1. With the engine off, depress the brake pedal (2455) several times to discharge the accumulator.
2. Disconnect the battery ground cable (14301). For additional information, refer to Section 414 -
01 .
3. Disconnect the fluid level sensor connector.
4. Disconnect the brake tubes.

3. If the concern remains after the inspection, connect the scan tool to the data link connector
(DLC) located beneath the instrument panel and select the vehicle to be tested from the scan
tool menu. If the scan tool does not communicate with the vehicle: 1. Check that the program card is correctly installed.
2. Check the connections to the vehicle.
3. Check the ignition switch position.
4. If the scan tool still does not communicate with the vehicle, refer to the scan tool Manual.
5. Carry out the DATA LINK DIAGNOSTIC TEST. If the scan tool responds with: 1. CKT914, CKT915 or CKT70 = ALL ECUS NO RESP/NOT EQUIP, refer to Section 418-00.
2. NO RESP/NOT EQUIP for the anti- lock brake control module, Go To Pinpoint Test A .
3. SYSTEM PASSED, retrieve and record the continuous diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), erase the continuous DTCs and carry out self- test diagnostics for the anti-lock brake
control module.
6. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to the Anti- Lock Brake Control Module
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Reference Chart to continue diagnostics.
7. If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, GO to Symptom Chart to continue diagnostics.
Anti-Lock Brake Control Module Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index
NOTE: If a wheel speed signal fault or a pump motor fault is detected, the yellow ABS warning
indicator cannot be reset with the key OFF and key ON method. The vehicle must be driven over 12
km/h (8 mph) for the anti- lock brake control module to carry out a re- check of the system before the
