KJ-0280-0

Submitted by administrator on Wed, 03/04/2015 - 00:56

On certain vehicles, the inside of the vacuum hose for the vacuum brake booster is not thoroughly cleaned, and there is a high amount of mold release agent on the check valve inside the hose. If the mold release agent mixes with the stuff precipitated from the hose, the check valve may get stuck when the engine is cool, in which case the vacuum brake booster will not provide full power at the time of braking for the first time after start-up, and the driver would need to depress the brake pedal more than normal.
