Power Brake Units -> General Service -> Brake booster operation test -> Check valve operation test
Vehicle: 1998 Dodge Avenger 2.0 L4 GAS

In order to properly service and repair available brake systems, a thorough understanding of the power assist systems is necessary. The vacuum assist diaphragm assembly multiplies the force exerted on the master cylinder piston in order to increase the hydraulic pressure delivered to the wheel cylinders or calipers while decreasing the effort necessary to obtain acceptable stopping performance.

Vacuum assist units get their energy by opposing engine vacuum to atmospheric pressure. A piston, cylinder and flexible diaphragm utilize this energy to provide brake assistance. The diaph...

Front & Rear Split Hydraulic Brake Systems

When the brake pedal is depressed, both the primary (front brake) and the secondary (rear brake), master cylinder pistons are moved simultaneously to exert hydraulic fluid pressure on their respective independent hydraulic systems. The fluid displacement of the two master cylinders is proportioned to fulfill the requirements of each of the two independent hydraulic brake systems, Fig. .
