Engine brakes or Jacobs brake on diesel engines work by using engine oil pressure controlled by a electric solenoid in three stages, the oil pressure is directed to a piston which holds down an exhaust valve slightly approx 2.85-3.5mm.

The three stages of exhaust brake on a six cilinder engine activates two cylinders at a time, cylinders 1-2 stage one, cylinders 1-2-3-4 stage two, and 1-2-3-4-5-6 stage three.

A Volvo engine brass or VEB works kind of the same only it uses a separate lobe on the camshaft to open the valve for engine braking...

Hope this helps..

Engine cuts out, steering locks on braking - scary! Help!

What is possibly happening is when you brake, there is a vacuum leak caused by the power brake system, this reduces the engine rpm, which in turn effects the power steering which makes it feel like the steering is locking up. This can also happen with a vacuum leak anywhere in the engine or things like a faulty idle adjustment control.... Turn the vehicle on, place your foot on the brake, if the idle speed increases dramatically you have a problem. Then put the vehiclein drive with your foot on the brake. If it nearly dies, again, you have an issue.
There are many different things on an engine that can create vacuum leaks. EGR Valves, IAC solenoid, PCV valves, the list goes on....
Good luck finding this particular issue!

Occasionally when you first start the car the brake pedal will barely move and it is hard to stop the vehicle when rolling in the driveway, like the power brakes aren't working.

Power brakes are operated by engine vacuum. It sounds like you may have a leak in the power brake vacuum system, so when the engine isn't running, the vacuum leaks away, and you have no "power" in your power brakes. Once the engine is running, the vacuum is built up over several seconds, and you have power for braking again.

I would check the vacuum lines for cracking and the power brake module for vacuum leaks.

Brake failure

If you are talking about the brake pedal being stiff and too hard to push, then working easily again - it sounds like you temporarily lost the power assist. This will happen again and it is not safe to drive until properly repaired.

Many decades ago cars had no power assist and took much more foot pressure and much longer distance to stop. So your brakes were working, just not the assist.

The power assist is provided by a vacuum line from the engine. The likely causes of the failure are: stalling or stopped engine, leak in hose from engine to brake assist booster or leak in the diaphragm inside the brake booster. There are also other much less likely causes from brake fluid lines and the master cylinder. Regardless, don't drive knowing the brakes are likely to fail.

Engine starts but does not go into gear brake light , abs light , engine lite on Radio, ac/heater, clock, cig lighter, door locks, brake lights, etc not working

Well, check if you have brake lights to start with? If you dont have brake lights, it is possibly a brake light switch under the brake pedal or a stop fuse blown. ( with brake switch malfunctioning, this could set ur check engine light and also ur brake and abs light. Check this and get back to me. By the sounds of the other accessories not working, check your 10 amp guage fuse which i am not quite sure, could be under the hood or in the cabin. keep me updated.

Brake booster appears not to be working properly. brakes work ok for 1 or 2 apps then pedal gets hard. cannot hear any vacume leaks. the car does have a vacume switch in the booster

the booster is the problem, or a hole or leak in vacuum line to booster check the check valve also ! from manifold. heres the symtoms of a bad brake booster. primary symtom is a hard pedal on application, to test booster. pump brakes several times with engine off. to deplete stored vacuum. turn on engine with pushing slightly on brake pedal. you should feel the pedal fade away abit and then become firm. but not hard. if you feel nothing at pedal when engine starts, brake booster is not working! check the vacuum lines first!!

Brakes feel like no power assist . had the brake system looked at and they say its normal for this year i dont agree with them ive drove others that the brakes work great where can i start looking for a...

To check, turn engine off, pump brakes 3 or 4 times, till they get hard, keep foot on brake, stat engine, brake peddle should go down about 2 to 3", if they stay hard bad brake booster' also when you pumped the brakes 3 or 4 times, you should also have power brakes, for those 3 or 4 times, with engine off.
