PROCEDURE
| 1. | PERFORM ROAD TEST |
(a) After turning the engine switch on (IG), compare the operating sound of the brake actuator the first time the vehicle speed reaches 45 km/h (28 mph) with a known good vehicle of the same model.
OK:
The operating sound is the same or quieter than that of a known good vehicle of the same model.
HINT:
When the vehicle speed reaches approximately 40 km/h (25 mph), the initial check of the brake actuator assembly is performed and pump motor operation sounds are generated.
| OK |  | END |
