How to check the power brake?

Le servo brake is part of your vehicle's braking system, so it is very important to identify the first signs of a malfunction, as your safety depends on it. There are some fairly simple ways to perform the initial brake booster tests. In this guide, we will explain step by step how to test the brake booster.

Required materials: tool box, protective gloves.

Step 1. Stop the car and turn off the engine.

To start the first check, turn off the car engine and then press the brake pedal several times. This will check if the vacuum reserve has been properly drained. If you notice that it gets difficult on the go, your brake booster is working properly, otherwise your brake booster should probably be examined by a professional.

Step 2. Stop the car, then start the engine.

The second check is similar to the first. After turning off the engine, press the brake pedal several times, then keep your foot on the pedal and turn on the engine. If you feel that the pedal is sagging slightly, the brake booster is in good condition.

Step 3. After stopping, start the engine.

One final check, press the brake pedal, now listen to the sounds it makes. If you hear a hissing or suction noise, or feel vibration, your brake booster is defective.
