How is the vacuum pump? I believe the light will come on if there is low vacuum.

Well till I can say its working fine, the pedal brake works fine no excessive pedal effort, the heater-air controls also work fine; there are not any visible leak or noise at the VP. Is there any easy way to check the VP?

Thanks for the input.

Check the vacuum at the brake booster hose with a vacuum gauge. You should see at least 19 inches of vacuum.
