Test the function of the vacuum motor and regulator. Check that the valves are able to maintain a vacuum in the vacuum servo.

The test is performed by operating the vacuum motor and regulator with extra cables connected to the control module connector.

Take care not to damage any components: Connect the cables correctly.

Carry out a visual inspection of the boots and seals at the joints.

Make two cables 

One should be a single cable with narrow blade terminals at both ends. The other is doubled at one end with a narrow tab terminal on each end.
