Some owners of select GM vehicles may comment on a low brake pedal during braking. See the application list at the end of this bulletin.
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 out during prior repairs.
Inspect for the O-ring before performing any other diagnostics. 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 off.
