Scheme 15
  1. Before starting this inspection, remove the brake booster check valve from the vehicle and check its operation (Refer to «REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION < EXCEPT RALLIART >»(/mitsubishi/lancer-evolution/x-2007-2016/remont/mechanical-hydraulic/#basic-brake-system-except-lancer-evolution) or «REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION < RALLIART >»(/mitsubishi/lancer-evolution/x-2007-2016/remont/mechanical-hydraulic/#basic-brake-system-except-lancer-evolution) ).
  2. After checking, install the check valve to the vacuum hose and connect it to the vacuum gauge. Install the booster test adapter (Special tool: MB992146) to the brake booster and connect it to the vacuum gauge. Connect the pressure gauge and pedal depression gauge as shown in the figure. Bleed the pressure gauge and then perform the following tests: Airtightness test with no load Start the engine, and stop it when the vacuum gauge indicator has reached approximately -67 kPa (-9.7 psi). The result is judged as "Good" when the drop of the vacuum approximately 15 seconds after the engine was stopped is within -3.3 kPa (-0.5 psi). Airtightness test with load Start the engine and depress the brake pedal with 200 N. Stop the engine when the vacuum gauge indicator reached approximately -67 kPa (-9.7 psi). The result is judged as "Good" when the drop of the vacuum approximately 15 seconds after the engine was stopped is within -3.3 kPa (-0.5 psi). When one or more of the above check results are judged as "No Good," the vacuum hose or brake booster is suspected faulty. Brake booster characteristics test Perform this test after the above (1) and (2) were performed. Non-servo effect test With the engine stopped, make sure that the vacuum gauge reading is 0 kPa (0 psi). Depress the brake pedal with 100 N (22.5 lb) and 300 N (67.4 lb), and measure the fluid pressure generated. Standard value: < Except RALLIART > BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSION FORCE - EXCEPT RALLIART (NON-SERVO EFFECT TEST) Item Pedal depression force 100 N (22.5 lb) 300 N (67.4 lb) Generated fluid pressure kPa (psi) 0 - 600 (0 - 87) 1,030 - 2,220 (149 - 322) < RALLIART > BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSION FORCE - RALLIART (NON-SERVO EFFECT TEST) Item Pedal depression force 100 N (22.5 lb) 300 N (67.4 lb) Generated fluid pressure kPa (psi) 0 - 520 (0 - 75) 890 - 1,910 (129 - 277) Servo effect test Start the engine. Depress the brake pedal with 100 N (22.5 lb) and 300 N (67.4 lb) when the vacuum gauge indicator reached approximately -67 kPa (-9.7 psi), and measure the fluid pressure generated. Standard value: < Except RALLIART > BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSION FORCE - EXCEPT RALLIART (SERVO EFFECT TEST) Item Pedal depression force 100 N (22.5 lb) 300 N (67.4 lb) Generated fluid pressure kPa (psi) 5,430 - 7,050 (787 - 1,022) 10,370 - 11,560 (1,504 - 1,676) < RALLIART > BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSION FORCE - RALLIART (SERVO EFFECT TEST) Item Pedal depression force 100 N (22.5 lb) 300 N (67.4 lb) Generated fluid pressure kPa (psi) 4,430 - 5,850 (642 - 848) 8,950 - 9,970 (1,298 - 1,446)

Scheme 16: CHECK VALVE OPERATION CHECK
  1. Remove the check valve (Refer to «REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION < EXCEPT RALLIART >»(/mitsubishi/lancer-evolution/x-2007-2016/remont/mechanical-hydraulic/#basic-brake-system-except-lancer-evolution) or «REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION < RALLIART >»(/mitsubishi/lancer-evolution/x-2007-2016/remont/mechanical-hydraulic/#basic-brake-system-except-lancer-evolution) ). CAUTION: Replace the check valve when it is faulty.
  2. Using a vacuum pump, check operation of the check valve. VACUUM PUMP CONNECTION CHART Vacuum pump connection Normal condition When connected to the booster side (1) Vacuum is generated and maintained. When connected to the engine side (2) No vacuum is generated.
