DTC C1214/62: Hydraulic Control System Malfunction [08/2013 - ]: Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Lexus ES 300h. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK FOR FLUID LEAK 
    1. Check that there are no fluid leaks in the brake lines between the brake actuator (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) and the wheel cylinders.
    2. Check that the brakes are not dragging.

      OK

      There are no fluid leaks or dragging.

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE APPLICABLE PART 

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. PERFORM AIR BLEEDING 
    1. Clear the DTCs. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [08/2013 - ] .
    2. Perform the air bleeding procedure in Bleed Brake System. Refer to BLEEDING [08/2013 - ] - Step 2 .

    NEXT: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK BRAKE BOOSTER WITH MASTER CYLINDER ASSEMBLY (ACTUATOR SIDE) 
    1. Make sure that there is no looseness at the locking part and the connecting part of the connector.
    2. Disconnect the A24 skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) connector 2 minutes after the power switch is turned off.
    3. Check both the connector body and the terminals for deformation and corrosion.

      OK

      No deformation or corrosion.

    NG → See step   9 

    OK: Go to next step 

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (VEHICLE SIDE) 
    1. Measure the voltage and resistance on the wire harness side. Refer to TERMINALS OF ECU [08/2013 - ] .

      OK

      Voltage and resistance readings are all normal.

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  5. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (WHEEL CYLINDER PRESSURE SENSOR) 
    1. Reconnect the A24 skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) connector.
    2. Connect an LSPV gauge set.
    3. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    4. Turn the power switch on (IG).
    5. Select the Data List on the Techstream. Refer to DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST [08/2013 - ] .

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Wheel Cylinder Pressure Sensor Wheel cylinder pressure sensor / Min.: 0.00 V, Max.: 5.00 V When brake pedal released:
      0.10 to 0.90 V
      Reading increases when brake pedal is depressed
    6. Check the output value of the wheel cylinder pressure sensor at each hydraulic pressure level during electronically controlled brake system control.

    NG → See step   9 

    OK: Go to next step 

  6. CHECK BRAKE DISC 
    1. Turn the power switch off.
    2. Disconnect the A34 brake pedal stroke sensor assembly connector.
    3. Perform a road test according to Freeze Frame Data or customer problem analysis. While driving, check for abnormal brake pedal vibration caused by brake discs that are worn or have excess runout.

      OK

      Brake pedal does not vibrate during braking.

      HINT: 

      • An unevenly worn disc may vibrate the caliper piston and cause fluctuations in brake line pressure, triggering a malfunction detection condition.
      • The brake pedal does not kick back due to caliper piston vibration during electronically controlled brake system control.
      • If the brake pedal stroke sensor assembly connector is disconnected, the fail-safe function will prohibit electronically controlled brake system control.
      • The Active Test does not prohibit electronically controlled brake system control when the vehicle is being driven, so disconnect the brake pedal stroke sensor assembly connector before continuing with inspection.
      • Uneven disc wear can be checked by measuring the disc thickness variation. Refer to INSPECTION [08/2013 - ] for front or refer to INSPECTION [08/2013 - ] for rear).

    NG → REPLACE BRAKE DISC 

    OK: Go to next step 

  7. RECONFIRM DTC 
    1. Reconnect the A34 brake pedal stroke sensor assembly connector.
    2. Clear the DTCs. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [08/2013 - ] .
    3. Perform a road test under the same malfunction conditions recreated based on the Freeze Frame Data or customer problem analysis.
    4. Check if the same DTC is output. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [08/2013 - ] .

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      DTC C1214/62 is not output. A
      DTC C1214/62 is output. B

      HINT: 

      If the DTC is no longer output, it can be suspected that it was output due to an improperly connected connector.

    B → See step   9 

    A → See step   8 

  8. USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK. Refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [08/2013 - ] 
  9. REPLACE BRAKE BOOSTER WITH MASTER CYLINDER ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL [08/2013 - ]
