To check the correct operation of the brake servo and its associated vacuum pump, you can first perform a simple suction test by disconnecting the hose from the brake servo diaphragm, starting the engine, and checking with your finger that there is a vacuum at the hose, indicating suction.

For a more accurate measurement, connect a manometer to the hose and check the vacuum value at the hose inlet: if you measure a vacuum of at least 0.5 bar, the system is functioning correctly.

You can repeat the same test directly on the pump.

Once all tyres have been inflated to the recommended pressure, turn on the ignition to check that the light has disappeared: if it is still present, it may be necessary to drive for a few miles, allowing the sensors to work and thus turning off the light.
