What’s Wrong
The failure of an electric relay can cause the service brake electric vacuum pump to fail. The issue will be identified to the driver by the illumination of a brake warning lamp on the vehicle's instrument panel and an audible warning. If this occurs it will result in a need to apply higher brake pedal force and an increase in stopping distances.
