  1. Depress the brake pedal repeatedly more than 40 times until the pedal depressing force feels heavy with the ignition switch at the "LOCK" (OFF) position to release the pressure of HBB power supply system.
  2. Connect a pressure gauge and a pedal depression gauge as shown in the illustration and bleed air from the pressure gauge.
  3. Perform the operation test without booster according to the following method.

    Depress the brake pedal repeatedly more than 40 times with the ignition switch at "LOCK" (OFF) position to bleed pressure from the HBB power supply system. Measure the relation between the brake pedal depressing force and the hydraulic pressure.
