To vacuum test a brake booster, first ensure the engine is off and the brake pedal is fully depressed to release any residual pressure. Next, disconnect the vacuum hose from the brake booster and attach a hand-held vacuum pump to the booster’s vacuum port. Apply vacuum using the pump; the gauge should hold steady pressure if the booster is functioning properly. If the vacuum drops significantly, it indicates a leak or failure in the brake booster.
