Your car's braking system requires a lot of pressure. The vacuum booster is one of the main sources of this pressure. This booster takes the pressure on the brake pedal and minimizes it to make it easier for you to push in a hurry. The pressure that builds up in the booster should be released after the vehicle is stopped to reduce any problems. The job of the brake booster check valve is to relieve this pressure when needed. Without this check valve, brake system components such as the master cylinder can be damaged due to the pressure generated.

The check valve on your brake booster should work just as long as the car does. Due to the location of this part, it is rarely serviced. Typically, the only interaction you will have with this part is when it is broken. In some cases, check valve problems can mimic a problem with a car's vacuum system. The only sure way to find out what is causing the problem is to have a professional troubleshoot the car.

The professionals will be able to find and fix the problems you are having with this check valve without even lifting a finger. By letting the professionals do this type of work, you will greatly reduce the stress associated with this type of repair. If you don't fix this problem quickly, it will be very difficult for you to use your car's braking system. Failure to use the brake system to its full potential is a direct recipe for disaster, which can be avoided by taking action when there are problems with the repair. Have a professional mechanic replace a defective brake booster check valve to ensure you have no future driving problems.
