With the engine off, press hard on the brake pedal. Turn the engine on and the pedal should depress slightly but no more than an inch or two.
If your brakes either drag or stick on, or sometimes the pedal goes real hard under foot it means your servo is shot!

What is hydraulic ram servo?
A hydraulic piston is also known as a servo or a motor.
How would you check that a hydraulic braking system vacuum servo is assisting foot brake pedal effort?
If a vacuum servo is fitted, then with the engine off, totally deplete the stored vacuum by repeatedly applying the service brake. Fully apply the brake and hold at a constant pressure. Note whether the pedal can be felt to travel further when the engine is started.
What is brake servo?
A brake servo is a servo that is used for brakes That's all folks
Can we use servo way 68 instead of servo system 68 in hydraulic power pack?
No. Servo system 68 is hydraulic oil and servo way 68 is lubricant
What the different between the servo brake and non-servo brake?
why are air brakes considered non-servo
What happens when all your brake fluid leaks out?
The brake fluid is hydraulic fluid, transmitting the force from the master cylinder and servo, to the brake shoes or pads. If it leaks away, the brakes will not work. The leak MUST be identified and rectified, and the hydraulic system refilled and bled properly.
What does a brake servo do?
A brake servo is to provide power assistance to the breaking of the car.
What is dual brake servo?
Servo brakes x2
Do the brakes still work without the servo?
There are several types of brake servo and are we talking about unbolting it and throwing it away or do you mean if the servo is eleminated from the system? Most brake systems will work if the Brake Booster servo does not work. No braking system will work if you unbolt the servo and throw it away.
Why is it important to check your brake fluid?
Your brake fluid is how the brake system converts mechanical force of your foot on the brake pedal, into hydraulic force that applies your brakes. Without fluid, your hydraulic brakes will not function.
Where is servo located?
There are "technically" several difrent types of servo on this vehical. Most people only call the power brake booster a servo though, it is mounted to the fire wall and the master brake cylinder is mounted to it. The hydraulic servo that runs the steering is hidden inside the steering box or "Rack" There are also servos that run Heater doors in most cars. Hydrulic servos inside the Automatic Transmision that require disasembly of the transmision to access.
Does a car's brake system multiply the force of the driver's tap on the brake pedal?
Yes. Most cars have a hydraulic braking system that uses a vacuum servo (or booster). It is a mechanical device between the brake pedal and the master cylinder piston. The booster uses the engine's manifold vacuum to amplify the force applied from the brake pedal.
