Inspection

4. Monitor "BBVPS" parameter on GDS.

NOTE:
With a brake partial vacuum that is too low, the ISG function also starts without activity on the part of the driver.
Insufficient brake partial vacuum can lead to safety risks during braking maneuvers, when rolling on an incline. To prevent this, the engine is started.


Removal

CAUTION:
Brake Booster Vacuum Pressure Sensor can not be replaced separately due to vacuum leak.
Therefore, the sensor must be replaced with an assembly with the brake booster.
