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.

No pump, vacuum from the intake manifold is the source.


Doesn't the transmission also use vacuum pressure in some manner?
