The booster is composed of two sections; the linkage section and the power section.

The booster is designed so that if a total absence of power assist occurs, the brakes can be applied manually, but somewhat greater pressure on the brake pedal is required.

If no problem exists in the regular brake system, diagnosis the power brake circuit is necessary. For a quick check of proper power unit operation, press the brake pedal firmly and then start the engine. The pedal should fall away slightly and less pressure should be needed to maintain the pedal in any position.
