Notice: Power steering fluid and brake fluid cannot be mixed. If brake seals
contact power steering fluid or steering seals contact brake fluid, seal damage
will result.
The hydraulic power brake booster system works with fluid
pressure from the power steering system. Therefore, a malfunctioning power
steering system can affect the booster, just as a booster malfunction
can affect the steering system. Before extensive testing, make the following
checks:
| • | Check all of the power steering and brake pipe connections for
leaks or restrictions. |
| • | Check the reservoir of the power steering pump. Fill as necessary.
If the power steering fluid contains air, refer to
Power Steering System Bleeding
in Power Steering. |
| • | Check the drive belt for wear and tension. |
