Good Morning,
I have read the various technical articles that have been published about problems/solutions with the powermaster III brake system. This includes reproduction of the GM service bulletins. However, I cannot seem to find the problem I am having which is my booster motor runs every time I apply the brake pedal.
the brakes work fine,
there is no hard pedal,
there are no external leaks,
the red dashboard light does not come on,
the motor does shut off after discharge and ignition then on,
the motor does not run all the time,
the motor does not run erratically (just whenever I push the brake pedal),
there is power assist,
the motor does not run when the ignition is off
So what have I missed? I would rather replace a faulty part (e.g., accumulator, pressure switch, motor relay, motor, etc) as opposed to the complete system - but how do I determine what is not working?
Also, what is the "pump section of the reservoir?" Is it the passenger side or the drivers side?
