| | Results of the tests |
| 1 | BRAKE PEDAL SOFTNESS CHECK | All OK | Problems met | Operation |
|---|
| Check
that the brake pedal is not softCheck the brake fluid level warning lightCheck that there are no fluid leaks from: connectors, pipes,
hoses, brake adjuster, reservoir, wheel cylinders, master cylinder | Continue to Step 2 | Pedal soft | Bleed the air Op. 0010A65 |
| Fluid missing from reservoir because of leak | Tighten the connectors or replace the part generating
the leak, then top up to the medium level Op. 0010A64 |
| Fluid missing, but leak not visible | Remove the brake servo one-way valve (see Op. 3330D20)
and check for leaks using a tube brush. Replace the brake servo/pump assembly
Top up to medium level |
| 1.9 DIESEL | Check that the brake pedal is not softCheck the brake fluid level warning lightCheck that there are no fluid leaks from: connectors, pipes,
hoses, brake adjuster, reservoir, wheel cylinders, master cylinder | Continue to Step 2 | Pedal soft | Bleed the air Op. 0010A66 |

| 2 | CHECK BRAKE PEDAL | All OK | Problems met | Operation |
|---|
| Check
that the brake pedal does not have two pressure stages and that
it returns promptly | Continue to Step 3 | The pedal jumps: one chamber
is not holding pressure | Replace the brake servo/pump assembly Op. 3330D02 |
| The pedal returns after a delay: master cylinder fault. | Replace the brake servo/pump assembly Op. 3330D02 |
| The pedal returns after a delay: front cylinder/caliper
fault. | Replace the front caliper Op. 3310A30 |
| 3 | CHECK ON EFFICIENCY OF HANDBRAKE
SELF-ADJUSTER | All
OK | Problems
met | Operation |
|---|
| Check
the efficiency of the handbrake self-adjuster, by pulling the handbrake | Continue to Step 4 | Device faulty | Change the device |
| 4 | BRAKE PEDAL SOFTNESS CHECK | All OK | Problems met | Operation |
|---|
| Check
whether the pedal becomes too soft after several braking actions
(Vapour loop) | Continue to Step 5 | The pedal becomes soft | Replace the brake fluid with
one of a higher specification Op. 0010T62 |
| 1.9 DIESEL | Check whether the pedal becomes too soft after several
braking actions (Vapour loop) | Continue to Step 5 | The pedal becomes soft | Replace the brake fluid with one of a higher specification Op. 0010T62 |
| 5 | CHECK ON HOLE ON BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR | All OK | Problems met | Operation |
|---|
| Check
that the hole in the brake fluid reservoir is not blocked | Continue to Step 6 | Hole blocked | Clean reservoir hole |
| 6 | CHECK ON CORRECT OPERATION | All OK | Problems met | Operation |
|---|
| Test
the vehicle before delivery to the customer, to check that the fault
is no longer present | The test is essential, as the braking system involves a safety
feature of the car |
| | Fault persists | Search for the
fault starting from another symptom' |
