Kelton · Answer 1

The answer is that both technicians are correct.

Explanation:

Working under vacuum, the brake pedal always lowers when the engine starts, in the event that the boost is fine. Working under vacuum, the boost brake pedal must be depressed when the engine is started. In this way, the appreciation of both technicians (technician A and technician B) are correct.
