A second hose routes pressurized fluid from the booster to the power steering gear.
The third hose returns the fluid to the power steering pump.
BRAKE FLUID AND BRAKE FLUID HANDLING
NOTICE: Hydraulic brake systems use two distinct and incompatible fluids. Power steering fluid is used in the hydraulic brake booster system. Brake
fluid is used in the master cylinder and brake pipes. Use extreme care when selecting brake system fluids, or seal damage can result.
Use the correct fluids. The master cylinder and brake system use brake fluid. The hydraulic booster system uses power steering fluid.
Do not reuse brake system fluids. Do not mix power steering fluid with brake fluid. Fluid contamination may result in swelling and deterioration of
rubber parts. This can lead to reduced brake performance and the eventual loss of braking capability.
If contamination occurs, flush the hydraulic booster system. Flushing the system involves draining the old fluid and replacing that fluid with clean
fluid.
Service booster components in a clean work area separate from the brake servicing area. Wash hands before changing work areas. Do not use the same
containers for brake and power steering fluids.
