What is the Vacuum Brake Booster Check Valve all about?

The vacuum brake booster check valve is part of the brake booster, and plays an essential role in brake system operation. It is a one-way valve that allows air to be sucked out of the booster, but does not allow air to enter it. This is a safety solution to ensure that if the engine is turned off, or if frequent stops or pedal presses are required, the brakes still operate. Its capacity ensures that you have enough boost for several brake applications. The vacuum brake booster check valve connects the vacuum hose from the engine to the body of the brake booster.

Keep in mind:

  • The vacuum brake booster check valve is not designed to require maintenance, so it will not be inspected during routine services.
  • Damage to the vacuum hose from the engine can mimic problems with the check valve.

How it's done:

  • The faulty vacuum brake booster check valve is located and identified
  • The vacuum brake booster check valve is removed
  • The new vacuum brake booster check valve is installed
  • The brakes are tested for proper vacuum brake booster check valve operation
  • The vehicle is road tested and checked for proper vacuum brake booster check valve and brakes operation

Our recommendation:

Many different issues can create problems with the braking system, including air in the lines, dirty/burned brake fluid, and more. If you suspect a vacuum brake booster check valve issue, have one of our expert mechanics diagnose it.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Vacuum Brake Booster Check Valve?

  • Brake pedal feels spongy when pressed
  • Brake pedal is very hard to press
  • Brake pedal begins as easy to press then becomes very difficult

How important is this service?

While a leak in the vacuum brake booster check valve will not eliminate your ability to stop, it will make braking much more difficult and increase your stopping distance. It should be repaired as soon as possible.

GMC Yukon V8-5.3L - Electric Problems - Houston, Texas
Inspection and Diagnostic Was 100% wrong. On all parts. Problem: All Rear lights flickering Inspection: Diagnostic: Turn signal, tail lights bad connections Repair Signal and connections recommendations: Remove and Replace Multi functional turn signal switch. also has bad connection between turn signal and tail lights. Replace Rear lamp harness connectors. L&R side. All diagnostic and recommendations Was accurately completed. That cost my son, greatly in unnecessary repair cost. That didn't fix the problem or anything else. and didn't need to be replaced or fixed, still had power to the replaced parts and in good working order. Following the recommended repairs ended up adding additional problems, truck remote and driverside door. Has lost all control functions and alarm has to be set manually and individually. False warning lights and codes popping up. Preventing from addressing real problem, until to late and check engine pressure light comes on and knocking noise from engine appears, after addressing and clearing of warning lights and codes. That had already been fixed or was a wrong random code that needed no action to be taken. I asked a repair forum and explained in detail. And Jacob recommended I start from troubleshooting from the simplest solution and make my way up if necessary. First obviously, check the brake lamp bulbs are correct and there was power to the build and sockets. Check. Next make sure the ground connection by the rear hitch wasn't broken or damaged while the brake light bulbs was being removed and replaced. And we have a winner. The ground connection. Fixed all rear lights. They're working normal again. A $0 fix cost my son over $800 in parts and labor fees. And now a motor. New Battery, New O2 sensors up/ down replaced, ignition coils and wires replaced, spark plugs, oil change, oil gasket replacement, filters. Valve Cover Gasket replaced. No leaks anywhere. Replaced the recommended, set off false codes. After getting it reset. Check oil pressure light comes on and knocking noises occur. Next day motor is needed. All could had been prevented if the obvious connection test was performed. I would recommend yourmechanic.com. I have a appt scheduled. Pay attention to the mechanic. Cost my self paying college son a vehicle.
