Vacuum Vent Valve: Testing and Inspection

    Do not use a test lamp to perform the following tests as excessive current draw will damage electronic components inside the amplifier. Use
only a high impedance digital multi-meter.

1.

Disconnect vacuum hose from the servo that leads to the dump valve.

2.

Connect a hand vacuum pump to the hose, and draw vacuum. If vacuum cannot be obtained, the hose or dump valve is leaking, and should be
replaced.

3.

Step on brake pedal. The vacuum should be released. If not, adjust or replace the dump valve. 2.5 inches of Hg is minimum vacuum for normal
servo operation. The vacuum source is a hose attached to a 5/16 inch engine vacuum fitting port.
