DTC C1391/69: Accumulator Leak 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. RECONFIRM DTC 
    1. Clear the DTCs. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [08/2013 - ] .
    2. Turn the power switch on (READY).
    3. Check if the same DTC is output. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [08/2013 - ] .

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      DTC C1391/69 is output. A
      DTC C1391/69 is not output. B

    B → See step   6 

    A: Go to next step 

  3. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (SOLENOID VALVE) 
    1. Turn the power switch off.
    2. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    3. Turn the power switch on (IG).
    4. Select the Active Test on the Techstream. Refer to DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST [08/2013 - ] .

      HINT: 

      The Active Test can be performed when the following conditions are met.

      • ABS main relay is on.
      • Shift lever is in P.
      • Parking brake is applied.
      • Vehicle speed is 0 km/h (0 mph).

    5. Perform the Active Test of the solenoid using the Techstream.
    6. 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
    7. Check that the output value of the wheel cylinder pressure sensor does not increase.

      OK

      The output value of the wheel cylinder pressure sensor does not increase.

      HINT: 

      If the output value increases, there may be brake fluid leaks in the brake actuator (brake booster with master cylinder assembly).

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      The output value of the wheel cylinder pressure sensor increases. A
      The output values of the wheel cylinder pressure sensor does not increase. B

    B → See step   5 

    A: Go to next step 

  4. REPLACE BRAKE BOOSTER WITH MASTER CYLINDER ASSEMBLY 
    1. Replace the brake actuator (brake booster with master cylinder assembly). Refer to REMOVAL [08/2013 - ] .

    NEXT → See step   5 

  5. REPLACE BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL [08/2013 - ] 
  6. REPLACE BRAKE BOOSTER WITH MASTER CYLINDER ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL [08/2013 - ]
