3. NOTE: Make sure the outlet port plugs do not show signs of leakage.
Lightly apply the brakes and hold for 10 seconds. Release the brakes and then reapply with heavy force. If brake pedal height cannot be
maintained, the brake master cylinder has an internal leak and a new brake master cylinder must be installed.
