Brake Servo, Check (Brakes)

Brake Servo, Check

Note:   For vehicles with diesel engine, if the brake is activated for a long period, the vacuum pressure will be exhausted. The pedal travel is shorter as there is no brake force amplification from the brake servo, but within a very short time after building up the vacuum the pedal travel returns to normal. This behaviour is often described by drivers as "On lengthy braking, the brake pedal goes right down to the floor" and/or as a "spongy pedal". This is not a cause for complaint in vehicles with diesel engines.
