What are the effects of a damaged vacuum booster pump?
1 Answers
If the vacuum booster pump is damaged, it will cause the brake pedal to become very heavy and difficult to press down. Additional information is as follows: Brake booster pump: The brake booster pump, commonly known as the brake assist pump, controls the vacuum entering the booster during braking, causing the diaphragm to move. Through a linkage device, the pushrod on the diaphragm assists the driver in pressing and pushing the brake pedal, thereby amplifying the force applied by the driver. Brake system: The brake system consists of a control system, hydraulic system, and booster system. The braking device generates friction between the brake pads and the wheel hub or disc, converting the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into heat energy during the friction process, which is then dissipated.
