Please discard PI0785A. The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI. Condition/Concern Some customers may comment on a low brake pedal during brake pedal apply. During diagnosis, a DTC C027B may be found stored in the EBCM. This concern may have started after the master cylinder was unbolted from the brake booster for any reason. This may be caused by a small vacuum leak between the master cylinder and the brake booster. There is an O-ring between the master cylinder and the brake booster that may have fallen off during the prior repairs. Recommendation/Instructions 2515865 Inspect for the O-ring (1) between the master cylinder and the brake booster before performing any other diagnostics for the low brake pedal or the DTC C027B. Replace the O-ring if missing or damaged. Tip: Exhaust the booster vacuum by either pumping the brake pedal or pulling the check valve out prior to removing the master cylinder. The suction may be helping to dislodge the O-ring when pulling the master cylinder out. Parts Information Refer to the Parts Catalog for the appropriate part number and availability. In some cases the brake master cylinder O-ring seal may not be serviceable separately.
