When I talked to the Service Manager, he mentioned something about
losing vacuum pressure. *I said what? *I'm trying to figure that one
out - brakes shouldn't be controlled by vacuum pressure - I always
thought they ran off the power steering assist pump.


It's not "vacuum pressure", but doesn't the power brake system operate off
of engine vacuum? *I haven't checked new vehicles but I think the older ones
did.


The newer ones do run off of vacuum pressure.


Off a vacuum pump.
