C027B Low Brake Pedal — Service Bulletin Fix

Why are you getting a C027B Low Brake Pedal code after replacing a master cylinder

GM has issued a service bulletin #PI0785B to address a C027B code that appears after replacing a master cylinder on the vehicles listed below. GM says the C027B trouble code is most likely due to a missing O-ring that fell off during the master cylinder replacement procedure. The missing O-ring master cylinder o ringresults in a vacuum leak between the vacuum brake booster and the master cylinder causing a low brake pedal and the trouble code.

To prevent the problem from happening again, GM recommends bleeding the booster vacuum by pumping the brake pedal or pulling the check valve out of the booster before removing the master cylinder. The residual vacuum suction may be the culprit that dislodges the O-ring when pulling the master cylinder out.
