Fig. 12.1. Hydraulic scheme of brakes: 1–right forward support; 2–tank of the main brake cylinder; 3–vacuum amplifier of brakes; 4–to the right back brake cylinder; 5–to the left back brake cylinder; 6–brake pedal; 7–left forward support; 8–main brake cylinder

Check of a condition of hydraulic system carry out in the following order (fig. 12.1) :

will hang out the car and remove all wheels;

check brake tubes and hoses on tightness, damages and corrosion;

check flexible brake hoses on existence of cracks and attritions. For detection of possible damages bend a brake hose a hand in different directions;

PREVENTION Brake tubes for protection against corrosion are covered with a plastic layer. At damage of this layer the intensive korrodirovaniye of tubes begins. In this regard do not apply to cleaning of brake tubes metal brushes and other tool which can damage a plastic covering.

be convinced that brake hoses are not overwound and do not concern body or suspension bracket panels for what turn a steering wheel of the car against the stop in one and other parties and visually check the situation occupied by brake hoses;

check the main brake cylinder, a pressure regulator in brake system, brake mechanisms, working brake cylinders, and system of the hydraulic ABS modulator on tightness and damages;

check nuts and bolts on reliability of fastening;

places of connection of tubes and hoses should not be damp.
