Re: Brake Problems in Cold S40-V40 00

As both the other responses mentioned, there is an electric vac pump that is switched on when the vacuum level in intake is inadequate.

You can test for it working by depressing the brake pedal few times with key off and then switch on the ignition. The pump is very audible and it will run for 1-2 seconds when key is first turned on. If you don't hear the rumble then the pump is not functioning.
