MASTER CYLINDER 4B – 9
DAEWOO V–121 BL4
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AND SYSTEM OPERATION
MASTER CYLINDER
The master cylinder is designed for use in a diagonal–split
system. One front and one diagonally opposite rear brake
are served by the primary piston. The opposite front and
rear brakes are served by the secondary piston. The mas-
ter cylinder incorporates the functions of the standard dual
master cylinder, plus a low fluid level indicator and the pro-
portioning valves in the non–antilock braking system. The
proportioning valves limit the outlet pressure to the rear
brakes after a predetermined master cylinder pressure
has been reached.
Important :
S Replace all the components included in the repair
kits used to service this master cylinder.S Lubricate rubber parts with clean brake fluid to ease
assembly.
S Do not use lubricated shop air on brake parts, as
this may damage rubber components.
S If any hydraulic component is removed or discon-
nected, it may be necessary to bleed all or part of
the brake system.
S The torque values specified are for dry, unlubri-
cated fasteners.
S Perform all service operations on a clean bench,
free from all traces of mineral oil.
FLUID LEVEL SENSOR
The master cylinder is equipped with a fluid level sensor.
This sensor will activate the BRAKE light if a low fluid level
condition is detected. Once the fluid level is corrected, the
BRAKE light will go out.

DIAGNOSIS
POWER BOOSTER FUNCTIONAL
CHECK
1. With the engine stopped, eliminate vacuum in the
booster by pumping the brake pedal several times.
2. Push the pedal down and hold in this position.
3. Start the engine.4. The booster is OK if the pedal drops further be-
cause of extra force produced.
If the brake pedal does not drop, the vacuum system (vac-
uum hoses, check valve, etc.) is probably defective and
should be checked.
If no defect is revealed by checking the vacuum system,
the defect is in the booster itself.

VACUUM HOSE
Removal Procedure
1. Spread the clip on the vacuum hose connection at
the intake manifold and move the clip slightly to-
ward the brake booster.
2. Pull the hose from the union nut connection. If the
hose does not remove easily or is deteriorated, pry
off and discard the hose.
3. Spread the clip on the vacuum hose connection to
the brake booster, and move the clip clear of the
booster.
4. Remove the vacuum hose.
Installation Procedure
1. Mount the vacuum hose and ensure the connec-
tions are tight on each end.
2. Check the function of the booster. Refer to the
”Power Booster Functional Check” in this section.
POWER BOOSTER ASSEMBLY
Removal Procedure

DAEWOO V–121 BL4
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AND SYSTEM OPERATION
POWER BOOSTER
This booster is a single or tandem diaphragm, vacuum–
suspended unit. In a normal operating mode, with the ser-
vice brakes in the release position, a vacuum–suspended
booster operates with a vacuum on both sides of its dia-phragm. When the brakes are applied, air at atmospheric
pressure is admitted to one side of the diaphragm to pro–
vide the power assist. When the brakes are released, at-
mospheric air is shut off from that side of the dia–phragm.
The air is then drawn from the booster through the vacuum
check valve by the vacuum source.
Important : If any hydraulic component is removed or dis-
connected, it may be necessary to bleed all or part of the
brake system.
