Vacuum System, Checking
Special tools and workshop equipment
required
- Hand Vacuum Pump -VAS6213-
Procedure
- Check all vacuum lines in the entire vacuum system for:
- Cracks
- Damage caused by animals
- Pinching
- Porous locations and other leaks
- Check the vacuum line leading both to and from the solenoid
valve to the respective component.
- If there is a fault stored in the DTC memory, check the
vacuum lines for the named component, but also check all the
vacuum lines.
- If using the Hand Vacuum Pump -VAS6213- does not produce any
vacuum or if the vacuum drops again right away, then check the
hand vacuum pump and the connection hoses for leaks.
