What is the Vacuum Brake Booster Check Valve all about?

The vacuum brake booster check valve is part of the brake booster, and plays an essential role in brake system operation. It is a one-way valve that allows air to be sucked out of the booster, but does not allow air to enter it. This is a safety solution to ensure that if the engine is turned off, or if frequent stops or pedal presses are required, the brakes still operate. Its capacity ensures that you have enough boost for several brake applications. The vacuum brake booster check valve connects the vacuum hose from the engine to the body of the brake booster.

Keep in mind:

The vacuum brake booster check valve is not designed to require maintenance, so it will not be inspected during routine services.
Damage to the vacuum hose from the engine can mimic problems with the check valve.

How it's done:

The faulty vacuum brake booster check valve is located and identified
The vacuum brake booster check valve is removed
The new vacuum brake booster check valve is installed
The brakes are tested for proper vacuum brake booster check valve operation
The vehicle is road tested and checked for proper vacuum brake booster check valve and brakes operation

Our recommendation:

Many different issues can create problems with the braking system, including air in the lines, dirty/burned brake fluid, and more. If you suspect a vacuum brake booster check valve issue, have one of our expert mechanics diagnose it.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Vacuum Brake Booster Check Valve?

Brake pedal feels spongy when pressed
Brake pedal is very hard to press
Brake pedal begins as easy to press then becomes very difficult

How important is this service?

While a leak in the vacuum brake booster check valve will not eliminate your ability to stop, it will make braking much more difficult and increase your stopping distance. It should be repaired as soon as possible.

Lexus RX450h V6-3.5L Hybrid - Brake System Flush - New River, Arizona

I would like to rate Peter 10 stars if I could! Here's a guy who's already hit 1000 5 star reviews! That's insane! When two other mechanics cancelled on me for a brake flush on my Lexus RX450h, YourMechanic sent their "best" tech out to do it. And they weren't kidding. Peter is one of the very best if not "the best" there is. Not only did he do the job quickly and correctly but he has an amazing bedside manner. He is one of the most intelligent people I've met in a long time and I had an amazing conversation with him. You can tell that he loves people as well as cars and it is more than just about the money for him. YourMechanic has a superstar here and they should have him training staff for how to treat clients as well as for his vast knowledge about cars, how the subsystems work, and how to troubleshoot and repair them. If YourMechanic continues to hire such top tier guys like Peter, car shops are going to be in trouble. Absolutely amazing service in every way. YourMechanic has brought humanity back to car care and has given amazing mechanics a more flexible schedule so it's a win-win. I really enjoy getting to know the person who is directly taking care of my vehicle. You just cannot compete with that. Thank you Peter. It was a sincere honor to meet you! And what a great accent! If you're lucky enough to book him, definitely do.
