Disconnect the vacuum release hose from the servo (large hose). Apply vacuum (10-20 in.Hg. (34-68 Kp/sq.m)) to the hose using a hand vacuum pump
and gage. The vacuum reading on the gage should remain steady. If gage reading does not hold, or leaks down slowly, inspect for a leaking or
misadjusted vacuum release valve (at the brake pedal), or a leaking hose.

A leaking vacuum release system will dramatically effect the operation and life of the servo.

Other items that could affect servo life and operation are:

-

Improper servo cable or rod adjustment;

-

Binding throttle linkage;

-

Loose or bent servo bracket; or

-

Poor electrical connections. If the previous diagnostic procedures fail to determine the cause of the cruise system intermittent condition, replace
the servo.

WARRANTY INFORMATION:
Use Labor Operation T1821, 0.5 hrs., for diagnostic time only. Use existing labor operations for replacement of parts.

NOTE:

Labor Operation is coded to base vehicle coverage in the warranty system.
