At vacuum of -66.7 kPa ( -500 mmHg, - 19.69 inHg) : Vacuum should decrease within 3.3 kPa (24.8 mmHg, 0.98 inHg) for 15 seconds.

19.69 inHg)0.98 inHg) for 15 seconds.

Air Tight
1.Run the engine at idle for 1 minute to apply vacuum to the brake booster, and stop the engine.
2.Depress the brake pedal several times at 5-second intervals until the accumulated vacuum is released to atmospheric pressure. Check that the clearance between brake pedal and dash lower panel gradually increases each time the brake pedal is depressed when performing this operation.
3.Depress the brake pedal with the engine running. Then stop the engine while holding down the brake pedal. Check that the brake pedal stroke does not change after holding down the brake pedal for 30 seconds or more.
